on my way to California

[Tokudai]

i've always lived in a relatively small city (never more than 200,000 people), so I guess adjusting to LA would be like adjusting to any city

i know compton fucking sucks to live in, is that anywhere near LA or surroundings?

$1500 in LA can get you a decent place, but it won't be close to a lot of the hotspots (Clubs, Studios, etc etc)

Avoid - Compton, Gardena, Athens, Watts, Paramount, Downey, Florence, Alhambra, El Monte - the graffiti should point you elsewhere..

Not Bad - Torrance, Hawthorne, Manhattan Beach, Carson, Whittier, Glendale, El Segundo

Nice but $$$ - Marina Del Rey, Palos Verdes, Pasadena, Malibu, Century City, Santa Monica, Brentwood - These places are worth it if you can find a roommate

I lived in the LA area for ~ 20+ years, and theres good areas in bad neighborhoods, and vice versa everywhere. OC is a little nicer for the most part but more of a commute to the basin
