Let’s start with what you don’t like/love about LA.

There definitely is a fair bit to not like - but you can plan and live around those things.

@D1 loool yea and copy lol

@M1 I think it’s feeling a little disconnected? And LA is a CITY but goddamn it’s so spread out! There isn’t really the buzz I expected living in a city, which I’d really like. I used to work on set and 70-80 hr weeks didn’t lend to much exploring. Shifted jobs during Covid, sooo also not a lot of exploring 😂 So I’m very up for suggestions and hearing what people have come to love about it here! Not sure how much you can speak to “fixing”/changing (?) LA being so sprawling (cuz DTLA be a little sketch for me to live 😬) but again, open to hear what others have fallen for 😊 (or recco skipping 😂)
