Los Angeles Transforms - 10/5/2014
While I was born in Southern California I was raised in the San Francisco Bay Area. After traveling while enlisted in the Army I moved to LA and have lived here since 2009. I have spent two years living in Santa Monica, three years living in the Valley (Northridge/Reseda) and a year living in Koreatown (a mile or two west of Downtown LA).
The city has certainly gone through some rough years however it is apparent that neighborhoods all around are changing for the better. LA is known for its traffic (everything you've heard is true - nay - it's worse) but the people of LA are finally finding an alternative to driving in LAs Metro Rail system. Its' network of subways and light rails is expansive and is growing rapidly; residents everywhere are ditching their cars (and gas and parking) and "going Metro".
I live in a beautiful 90 year old 1 bedroom apartment situated right on the Purple Line subway just 5 minutes from Downtown and 10 minutes from Hollywood. A

Significant Changes in Quality of Life - 12/2/2013
I have lived in the Los Angeles Metropolitan area for almost 38 years. Now I am an aging baby-boomer and have experienced a serious deterioration in the quality of life here over the last several years. Recently this area has experienced another critical mass which has had serious consequences.
Most seriously, this area has had a steady increase in both violent and property crime due to the effects of a two year long prison release program, imposed by the State Legislature on the entire state (AB109), one-third of whom have been released to Los Angeles County alone. This increase may not as yet be reflected in the latest crime statistics.
Los Angeles is suffering, in large part, from the effects of the Law of Diminishing Returns. This is due to the dramatic increase in population of both the city and county of Los Angeles, along with the sheer geographical size and distances one encounters in living in Southern California; torturous commutes along

Northeast Los Angeles - 10/19/2013
I live in the area of northeast Los Angeles (NELA) which is comprised of many older neighborhoods. Over the past 10 years, NELA has become a popular destination of Los Angeles hipsters, defined roughly as young, urban and into the music and art scene. The socioeconomic statistics of this population vary from upper income to low (minimum wage).
My specific neighborhood is called Glassell Park. It is considered to be one of the next up and coming neighborhoods for this population and is in the beginning stages of gentrification. Glassell Park is bordered by Glendale, Eagle Rock (NELA) and Cypress Park (NELA).

Sunland/Tujunga Quality of Life - 10/16/2013
The community of Sunland and Tujunga is a real sleeper community.
Very small town feel but close to just about everything since the 210 freeway runs parallel to the main blvd(foothill). The community is nestled along the mountains thus developers cant build huge apts. and over develop the area. The developers have tried to sneak an apartment into every last space but all the empty land is taken. With the mountains to the North, its impossible to over populate the direct area.
Traffic is much less intense than most cities within Los Angeles. Crime seems very low and the town shuts down at night. If you want nightlife, Hollywood is about 20 minutes away.
The community has really been on the upswing. Streets are finally being paved and home prices are up. You get a lot for your money compared to the crowded nearby cities of Glendale and Burbank, so i like it. The best thing about this town is that most places are within 15-20 min of the community,

Thinking of moving to Los Angeles??? - 8/22/2013
Don't! Avoid it as if your life depended on it. I have lived here two years, both in Hollywood and now a more upscale suburb. This place is a slum with few inhabitable areas. Beverly Hills, BelAir, Malibu... Don't be deceived about what money will buy here. Unless you have 20 million or more, you will be exposed daily to the slum life. Corruption, unethical business practice and dishonesty are so common here, it is rare to find professionals who even know what ethical, professional behavior is. Real estate agents are the scum of the earth here. I worked with three before finally buying a house. They are here to scam you, from both sides, buyer and seller. If you want to live in a safe neighborhood, plan on a home costing you at least 2.5 million. This does not however guarantee that you will not have to shop in a grocery store with uneducated, unconcerned, unethical management, employees and customers. The really disconcerting part is this city is so far gone, there is
