Hey everyone!
I wanted to share my experience here in Los Angeles, CA as a new resident.
Pros and cons!
Pros
Weather - The weather here compared to WV is amazing. Right now in January it's 57-73 F each day.
Food - With the diverse communities all across California, food is by fare one of the coolest adjustments. Any cuisine I desire is within a walking/scooter distance. This is super important because in a large city like LA, it' convenient when you don't have to travel from the west to the east side of the city to get Indian or Italian. Where I previously lived in WV. Other cuisines was less common to be within a walking distance or one style of your liking on the same side of the city.
Events - Professional sports, concerts, hobby events like car/bike clubs, you really see this stuff by the masses here. There is always something to do
Cons:
Population - It's crowded, something you must get used to very fast. When learning to drive in the city it's complicated because there are more people. I was taken back at first but when I learned that everyone else knows how to drive I felt confident as I'm a good driver.
Cost of living - Yes the cost of living here is higher, but in the "workforce" the "American engine" people here make more on average as opposed to other states. It seems to level off. We shall see.......
Crime - Crime is everywhere, but it's definitely up here as there are a lot of people and it's just a numbers game. It feels around you but not directed towards you if that makes sense. Per capita there are going to be a large number of crimes because of the amount of people here....we can't be good :)
