In pre-covid times, how many of you commuted from Silver Lake/ Los Feliz/ Echo Park general area to west side? How was it and is it worth it?

Never want to go back to the office

like

Never have commuted that route but familiar with many ppl who have. Unfortunately, it’s a common route bc west side is where a lot of the market resides. But no one can afford or wants to live there.

It’s similar to how no one from LA wants to pick up someone from LAX. We will avoid it at all costs. (Source: LA native here)

Yes and some ppl do. But most ppl I met never stay there too long. Quality of life and COL being the biggest factor. But if you have the $$ then by all means, do it. Just my experience.

Live in Echo Park office in Playa Vista on the average it was an hour each way. I got really into audio books and podcasts so enjoyed my time in the car as my “me” time.

2 + hours each way. After two years, it was seriously affecting my mental health. That said, I was the most up to date podcast listener in the USA.
