Review of Santa Monica, California


I love LA
Star Rating - 2/26/2006
I love LA, except for the cost. I am a single mom raising a teenage daughter, on an income that barely covers our needs. I am a professional and love what I do. However, in this economy I see my city's infrastructure spiraling down. We have expensive new developments for the wealthy, ($250,000 income a year and up to the billions)but for the rest of us our homes are shrinking and harder to keep up.
That said, I love the weather, the people, the diversity of geography and cultures. I don't want to leave. But as I age, I need to think about the best place to retire.
