Santa Monica is my goal if I ever 'make' it, and for all the reasons you've stated, but way beyond my budget at the moment.

Glendale cons are Armenians, Armenians and more Armenians.

Don't even know Santa Monica and want to talk about it ...

I'm a middle-aged adult who wants to go back to school, and eventually get a job working in the film industry. One thing I like about the idea of moving to LA, is that it's a city that has a lot of creative vibes, and I feel like it's a place where creativity is valued, not something you use for a hobby because you need to get a "real" job. I have creative skills and I want to be in a place where I can learn how to use them. I live in Kansas, a decent place in itself, but not very exciting, and I like the idea of living in a place where I don't have to worry about icy roads in the wintertime, and having to drive for two days just to see an ocean, or anyplace that I consider a fun place for a vacation. I also like the mix of people who come from places all over the world. In the city I'm working in now, I'm used to driving myself everywhere, so the lack of walkability and public transportation doesn't bother me. I find LA an intriguing place in many respects, in spite of its problems. I'm just trying to figure out how I can afford to move there, since I know that LA is NOT a cheap city to live in!

It's the pervasive smell from the refineries that makes me skirt Hawthorne. Has always been a repellent.

I live on Long Island NY. My dream job is to move to the suburbs of Los Angeles to get a job in the hotel industries, excluding night auditor.

California dreaming will never ever die!

Santa Clarita is a good option but I am afraid of forest fires

An absolute gem of this planet earth this area is. 🌞🇺🇸😎

Where you begin walking to restaurants/stores/shops at Catalina & Ave I is Redondo Beach (south Redondo) and continues into Riviera Village, one reaches Torrance to the south at about 1/2 way through Mira-Mar park which sits on the oceans cliff, then pretty much straight inland to PCH & PV Blvd to the south is actually Hollywood Riviera and continues on the south side of PCH headed east about a mile to Calle Mayor.

FYI Hollywood Riviera is the residential neighborhood and is located in the city of Torrance, Riviera Village is the business district of restauants and such and is located in the city of Redondo Beach, referred to as south Redondo. My suggestion is do a city border/city line search prior so you are correct on your information.

Love Irvine big wide open streets clean and super chill. Close to Newport Beach

You guys are the reason us big bear locals had to move out of our hometown. Thanks....

My sister lives in Naples ……crime is high

Newport beach

❤ a Brit in LA

I grew up in hp. On brach street.

I grew up there. I was a teenager during the 80s. I played baseball at the park there. It was really dangerous back then. Highland Park has a location. I am glad to have great memories as a kid there.

The best decision we ever made was to leave california. Texas is wonderful! We love Texas.

I guarantee those Californians who moved to TX did not move to the flat, ‘visually boring’ part.

All L.A and L.A county beach homes are $$$ $$$.

I love yuor channel and yes it’s out of control in the whole country but in England too it’s very expensive to

What do you think about Lakewood Village?

As a former homeowner in Aliso Viejo, it’s still a relatively good deal compared to surrounding areas. Probably best suitable for retirees or young families and you gotta be comfortable with a certain conformity. Good access to freeways, nature areas and Laguna Beach.

I attended nearby John Marshall High School, and I am quite familiar with all of Los Feliz. It was a great place to live in the 1960s and 1970s. Very affordable compared to today.

The beautiful street you walked on the most, Hill Dr., is the nicest in ER. There are many more streets with more modest homes--those are the ones that are 1.5 and under. Up on Hill, you're looking at near $2 mil. for even he smallest and north of it for larger ones. Even in the last year, prices have gone up so much. Thanks for highlighting the area. Yes, Highland Park has many more bars and hangouts for those under 35, but York Blvd. is so close. Just one mile over a hill for me. It's nice to not have as much traffic and an easier time finding parking here.

Torrance is a wonderful place to live. I grew up there and wish I could live there again. The climate is so pleasant because of being near the ocean. I wish my parents had never moved our family away from there because I would have stayed there for the rest of my life.

I like Whittier Mall! It has Target, Kohl's, JCPenney, and one of the last Sears stores, SEARS!!!!

Yes the weather it’s the best in the country

City permits,zoning regulations and if yuo buy a land make sure it has all utilities Gas electricity water and plumbing if doesn’t have it it’s very expensive because yuo have hired a city engineer it’s thousands of dollars yuo are looking to pay

Hermosa beach beautiful

So true right on point before moving here visiting its must for two weeks or more drive to feel how it it’s and yuo must have a good car and Hollywood it’s ghetto it’s not glamorous

Thank you for the video Matt. Me and my wife are thinking about moving to LA soon, but at the same time we hear so much about cost of living there, is it possible to live comfortably over there with a 220-250k a year between me and her ? Thanks

Big Bear is oversaturated. You will barely break even or come close in many situations unless you have the coolest cabin ever. Even those hosts are complaining about their revenue drop post pademic frenzy.

I own a cabin. I'm a superhost in other markets and do well there but Big Bear is tough. No matter your pricing strategy and marketing. Too much saturation. Not a good investment. I made 4k in 2023. The renewal permit fee is high. However, we enjoy it for the lifestyle it affords our family. Only a few hours away, and we are in fresh alpine air.

It’s the great place to live in America indeed

California has everything in one state it’s beautiful that’s why I don’t want to move from California I’m doing my best to stay here I enjoy hot weather

Living Pasadena, California, is super expensive, especially buying a home.

ur a smuck

Very noisy even on mountains

Many people don't realize how big and diverse California is. There is nothing you can say about it that applies to the entire state.
