Moving to LA in September looking for a 2bd in commuting distance to Santa Monica. Any areas to avoid renting in? Have looked primarily west side (Culver city, sawtelle, …)

Venice would be nice too, just expensive. Some apt buildings are on really major streets (streets that are essentially small highways). So IMO it’s less about avoiding specific areas but rather avoiding buildings on those streets. I’m super familiar with the westside, so feel free to DM any specific spots you’re looking at and I can help guide as best I can.

Sawtelle living here. Overall my advice is to pay attention to whether you can easily walk around to anywhere or use (restaurants, groceries, etc)

I live 1 min walking from a huge restaurant and business area in Sawtelle and I love it. But other places in the same neighborhood are just in the middle of nowhere, which means driving everywhere and feeling trapped in your building

Was hoping to stay around/under 1500. Paying 1800 in Boston rn but will have a car and those expenses in LA

I recently moved to LA from NJ and I got a 2bed 2bath close to Griffith park for 3k with washer dryer in apt, 2 parking spots included. From here Santa Monica is 15miles but takes 40-45min by car depending on traffic.

Hi everyone. English is my second language. I understand the language, I can write relatively well, but I struggle when speaking. I'm not at all an elegant speaker. I sound so un-smart when I speak during meetings 🥺

Impromptu speaking is a nightmare. I struggle to find the right words for even the simplest things. I struggle to translate my thoughts into words.

I'm looking for advice on how to improve, or even book and course recommendations on how to become more articulate.
