Los Angeles, CA
Why I want to leave Ca -
1/24/2015The cost of living has skyrocketed in the last five years. It is good if you have a large extended family because they are the only ones who can fit 2-3 families in one house to meet the high rentals here. A single apt with no bedroom starts at 950,00 a month. I rented a house in Van Nuys for 14 years
and saw my rental increased to 1,000.00 a month from 650.00 even though I maintained my property in excellent condition and never was late with my rent.
Van Nuys is rent control, but over the years my rent was increased. I have
dogs and coudn't bear to part with them. I am now ready to retire. Although
the climate is wonderful traffic is insane for the most part you are judged by
what you drive and how you dress. My neighbors with the large extended family
and anchor baby moms coming and going calling the fire department because they
decided to build a fire in the back yard draining sewage onto my lawn had to
call the sanitation department. Throwing trash in front of my house-not containing their dogs and they would go after the mailman who ultimately refused to deliver mail there. This large extended family ethnic group has taken over Los Angeles and had marched down town and brazenly burned our American Flag and hoisted their flag up in the air with absolutely no consequences I try to be open minded and fair-but enough already
