Living in San Gabriel Valley for a $950/mo 1b1bhk with a small yard, including all utilities & parking. Quite place, great landlord. But I dislike the neighborhood that aren’t nice and kinda annoying. I feel like living in a foreign country. Should I suck it up and look for people/places I like, or move? Maximum budget is only $1,800/mo for westside.

Growing up in El Monte it was never a thing to say hi or talk to random people. Neighbors, however, were usually very friendly

Where in the SGV is this?

You could get a studio for $1800ish in Pasadena (also in the SGV); Pasadena is also heavily Asian and Latino with a decent sized Black population, so take that FWIW when it comes to not offending your pan-American sensibilities 🤪.

Have you looked at Huntington Beach or Bakersfield yet?

I’d like to “make it” here but if it means switching career to make money I’d like to get an idea to make the right job change.
