It really depends on your budget, how you want to commute and what your needs are. LA proper is an area of small enclaves and neighborhoods, and there’s something here for everyone.

With that said, I would say the westside and South Bay (west of the 405) are good areas for anyone who is new to town and looking to meet new people. You’ll be around other transplants who are looking to make friends as well.

Those two areas are also not far from El Segundo, so commuting there wouldn’t be painful.

DM me and I'll get you added to a Facebook group for 20s and 30s where you can find a roommate and meet some people for hiking, beach volleyball, and other community stuff.

Welcome! Good to see more vets in South Bay

For roommates: FB Marketplace or Craigslist.

Welcome to LA!

El Segundo is a great small town - I live here and love it

Love the downtown area. Are restaurants faring OK? Used to go to that tapbrewhouse lots

How young is young? If you can afford it, Playa Vista is nice. You’ll find a lot of professionals in their late 20s early 30s. I live near El Segundo and my main complaint is the lack of great food. There’s some but not a ton.

Are you going to be at the base there? I live a few miles from there! Summer in LA is amazing. Congrats!

Any motorsports photographers out there?

I would love some advice to get a little more serious with this hobby of mine. I have gone to a handful of events, both local tracks and professional circuits as a spectator, but wish to know what the best approach is to gain media credentials to take this passion of mine to the next next step.

Any advice is welcome, I would very much love to fuel this passion of mine with the hopes of eventually making motorsports photography a career path.

My supervisor (a VP) and our President disagree with this choice but are making no headway with the new HR team. What can we do?
