Minimum $3,000/month if you want a relatively nice apartment in the core areas.

LA is massive. Are you familiar with the different areas/neighborhoods? Tough to provide recs without specifics

We’re close to the ocean so pollution isn’t as noticeable here. Just one of the factors to balance against your other desired features etc

Apartments with views means either something in a high rise (not a lot of these, and very expensive), located up in the hills (effectively nonexistent), or along the beach (again, most likely expensive).

Figure you’re going to rent 2.5-3K for a decent 2 bedroom. 3-4K if you want it to also have a view. Mortgages are going to push 4K for even entry-level condos (not a lot of inventory and co-ops don’t exist here). The buying market is totally distorted here right now.

I feel like 2.5-3k is the going rate for a 1 bedroom on the west side with no views. I doubt you could get anything with ocean views for under 5k and even that may a stretch. There aren’t a lot of high rises in Santa Monica or Venice. Maybe you could find something with views in MDR for cheaper but then you’re in MDR.

I think if u want a nice apartment you are in the 5K range for a 2 bedroom.

Correct, I have no amenities and it’s a smaller condo style building. So I only pay 5k.

Tried this Santorini retailing for $40. Very concentrated but can’t say I was blown away by it. Volcanic terroir dominates almost to the point of obscurity, and it had strong lemon notes, hints of quince, and sea salt. It clashed with Mexican food (hey I knew that beforehand but didn’t think it would clash THAT bad, and usually pair Mexican with Riesling or Gewürztraminer) but I’m going to Greece soon and wanted to drink Greek wine. I drank half at a BYOB, took the bottle home(cont’d)

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.
