Best areas to live in if have to commute to DTLA two days a week and partner has to travel to Riverside next year? Ideally we don't want to move twice. Hoping to not have longer than 1 hr commute with traffic in either direction. Please be kind I know LA traffic is horrible- I don't need a lecture about how bad it is lol

Pasadena or Alta dena or even Glendale. Quiet and more suburban like but with downtown areas and great restaurants. If you’re looking for more city life try silver lake. From these areas you can get to the west side in an OK amount of time but commute to riverside won’t be as brutal as if you lived more west or near the beach.

Riverside is pretty far south. A commute from Altadena or Pasadena would be brutal.

I would focus on areas well served by the rail line. You can get downtown and back, as well as out to Riverside. Being close to that would give you both some optionality in commute. 1hour by train is typically a lot better than an hour by car.

Covina, Upland, Pomona all could be 'split the difference ' options.

I live in Monrovia (walking distance to Old Town) and LOVE it 😻

Realistically I think the best you can do is 1hr for both people. So it might be better to favor the person who will be commuting more.

I lived in North Hollywood and took the redline, was the best. So easy.

Too far though for the Riverside commuter

Absolutely. Businesses can be ethical by treating people the way they’d want to be treated. 3 ways Airbnb can do this: Aggressively fight fraudulent listers, let Airbnb members control their data (allow data requests/permissioning/deletion from any state or country), and oh - make it easy for people to get their money back if their travel was affected by covid-19. How not to be ethical: marketing ethics vs living them.
