Hi! Moving to LA and would looooove not to have a car (I can drive, even stick, that's not the issue). Am I delusional? Planning on living close to Venice. Is cycling around just a no go?

Yeah, you could probably do it if your work was within cycling distance of where you live.

It'd be about 6-10 min by bike. I'm a bit concerned about crossing big avenues, it's not like cycling around London.

LA is not the most biker friendly safety wise. Santa Monica or Culver City is probably the best for biker safety but even then you need to be very careful.

Don’t be the a-hole who rides on sidewalks. Ride safely in the street, keep to decently bikeable streets.

Except for to leave Venice, but if you're only doing that once a week, it's probably cheaper to get an Uber or Waymo

Hi, do you know of any opening as a production manager making at least 120K? The environment where I'm currently working is getting more toxic than ever and they are expecting me to fill all the openings with the minimum wage. I've been in the same company for the last 7 years, but with all the pandemic still going on, nobody seems to understand that when you are short staffed is impossible to get the same results as when you are fully staffed. Any help or insights will be greatly appreciated.
