Great f*ckin' find @Off Emerald.. 
It's cool. I love the weather, especially whenever I travel somewhere back east. A lot of the LA lifestyle gets burnt after you turn 21-23, there's still a lot of shyt to do, I just mean in regards to messing with women and partying. It's kinda interesting being from here, yet everyone wants to come here....
Mos def, I know the valley and west LA like the back of my hand. I've always lived in the valley per se, but commuted to West LA for school.
Mos def, a lot of people are being priced out: blacks,Hispanics, whites etc.
There's a real socioeconomic divide within in the city, that's playing out, just like in every other major city. Areas that were predominantly black or had a decent black population, like mid-wilshire area in between mid-city and the miracle mile area used to be a strong black working / middle class area, but now it's predominantly Hispanic. Hispanics are able to move in because they pair up and pool their money together. So a 2br2ba place might have like 7-10 people living together. I remember one place I lived had like 13 Asian peeps living together.
Mos def, there's a lot money to made in this city if you're willing / know how to hustle, whether legally or illegally, but I'd say leave the illegal shyt up to locals that's already banging. This is all they got, don't think for a second they won't turn up on an outsider trying setup shop. With that said, being here just forces you to be on your grind especially if you trying live right....

the saying all the real nikkas dead or locked up is very true out here...thats the reason shyt changed...its a lot of real nikkas yes i said real nikkas that was keeping shyt lit locked away in the pen for decades because of a "gang injunction/enhancement" thats how they cleaned the hood up out here quiet as kept....reason that didnt faze the mexicans out is because they kept a steady influx coming in from across the border and they have hella kids...a lot of black families moved to vegas or IE around 04-08 selling houses in the hood that families been having for years and the result is what we have today...its not all bad but its just dry compared to what it use to be (in the hoods at least)...before 08 you'd see nikkas posted everyday 10-30 deep on any given block in any given hood but after those gang sweeps and some murders shyt be a ghost town in some hoods that use to be hella turnt

This isn't really a good thing tho, I'm glad gang violence ain't what it used to be,an environment where a bunch of senseless murders and shootings isnt somewhere I would wanna live as a civilian
