I am going to take your advice and not actually move to LA on a low income and just visit instead. I don't want to live there if I'll only be struggling.

But the others are right. As much as I want to try to help here, you're (perhaps unwillingly or unwittingly) sabotaging the hell out of this effort...

Great. Because the idea of moving somewhere to see a friend more than 4 times a year is ridiculous. Unless it's a serious long distance relationship, of course.

I said at least four times a year of course the more the better and I don't think it's ridiculous.

Now, tell us more about this car-living friend of yours and why you like hanging out with him/her so much...

Of course you don't. The rest of the world, on the other hand...

There is nothing to tell really we met online three years ago. I just like spending time with them that's all. I can understand that it's not a good idea to relocate only for friendship. The person doesn't actually live in LA though just living there temporarily. Before anyone say it's dangerous to meet anyone online in person. I get that and have no intention of doing it again with anyone else. I took a risk and thankfully nothing bad happened.
for business.

That sounds even more nuts. Not the meeting someone online part, but the details. If you want to live in LA, fine. But make a plan. Don't let this friend even factor into it.

I never said I ONLY wanted to move to LA because of my friend. Yes that maybe one of the reasons but not the only reason. I don't see why it's nuts? At least I would know someone who lives there.

Actually, I don't think anyone was saying that. I met my wife online. I've met plenty of other people online. It helps if you're savvy enough not to get into a dangerous situation, sure, but you can just as easily get into a dangerous situation with someone you've met "in real life". I do, however, question the life choices of someone who befriends a dude (let's just go ahead and say it) who lives in his car. Where online did you meet him, anyways?

Yeah, I'm not sure that's necessarily a plus in this situation.

Im not 100% that the person actually lives in their car I said I think. And this is something that may have happened recently not when I actually met them. Meaning at the time I became friends with the person they weren't in this current situation. Some people go through rough times so that means you shouldn't be friends with that person? I think that's kind of shallow to decide whether or not you want to befriend a person based on where they live? Things happen to people it's life.

I don't decide whether or not I want to be friends with a person based on where they live....
