move to the valley breh, depends on where you work though. but if you want to have a good amount of space relative to the money you're spending, i'd say the valley.

work downtown, a friend recommended studio city but she's a white chick.

i'd honestly probably still say the valley. traffic is gonna wreck you regardless, but at least this way you'll have money for a nicer car and more disposable income. you're crib will probably have a terrace/balcony, parking, possibly a pool.

when you get on your "i don't need a gps" shyt, you'll be able to go from downtown to the valley without even getting on the 405. shout out to them canyons.... plus thats some spirited driving right there

definitely do research though, you never know what you're gonna find.

Try Redondo beach, it's south west of downtown, you can hop on tha 405 north and not be too far

Or try culver city West LA Venice area...

If you aren't easily wowed by that Hollywood shyt, then go to the Valley. Decent commute on the 101 to downtown LA and you can PAWG out all you want out there of that's your thing.

You won't spend as much on a crib and that $65-80K salary will fukkin evaporate in LA/ West LA/Hollywood with the cost of living/gas/food/party n bullshyt.

The 405 is nowhere near downtown.


OP, Downtown is pretty hip place to live nowadays, lot of cool restaurants and bars and if you can find spot close to your job, walking to work >>>>>>>

downtown is on the come up. they're trying to reinvigorate the area with new bars, stores, etc...but after 6pm, it's pretty when the druggies come out of the shadows.

living in the studio city/north hollywood//universal/toluca lake area is a good look. you got restaurants, bars, shopping, all within a few mins....hollywood is 10 mins away. this is area is the mecca for backup dancers in the industry...so you always see eye candy walking to the dance studios in the noho arts district. you get more for your money in terms of rent. you can hop on the metro red line and be downtown in 15 mins.

@ living in environments that don't really get all 4 seasons. That ain't life. I can get p*ssy at a high rate in any environment or location. I don't need sand, palm trees, or the sun to help me get it.
