Thoughts on living in the Newport or Laguna beach areas? Moving soon and hoping to get thoughts on those and/or the surrounding areas.

Newport is Republican and a bit bro-y, Laguna thinks of itself as liberal and artsy (but it’s a rich beach town so it’s filtered through that a bit). Laguna Beach is also more cutoff from the rest of Orange County and LA / a bit harder to get out of than Newport, which is more centrally located. Out of the two, I like the vibes and beaches better in Laguna. I’d also recommend looking at Costa Mesa (a bit more affordable and up and coming).

Both are very expensive.

Newport Beach is very Republican but mostly tolerant; Laguna Beach is mostly liberal

Oof, very nice areas but I don’t have a high opinion the OC. As others have said very Republican. I find it white washed and too “shiny and new”, and fake. I have know someone who is a single mom in the Newport area and according to her they stopped inviting her to events because they found out her and the baby daddy aren’t married (they get along and do a lot of things together). And the kids in the area were just meaner than I’ve encountered in other areas - they learn it from somewhere….

Laguna over Newport. I agree Newport is very bro-y and more plastic.

As someone who lives and works down here, a big fan of Laguna. I have lived in promenade apartments near the spectrum and could not have picked a better place.

Awesome thank you!

I've been following Coforge LinkedIn page, and I have decent offer from them. In one call HR said we will be moving towards 5 days work from Office, to which I said I don't mind. Now that aside, their LinkedIn posts everyone at VP SVP levels are joining.. seems like they are growing very fast, as hiring at such high Positions happens only that time.

Question is - whenever I compare Coforge with any other people say avoid Coforge.. Why????

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.
