L.A. .A mix of good and bad
-
4/24/2007
I've lived in/around L.A. for a number of years and am hoping to move to Northern California in the year of 2008. Weather is decent, winters are relatively mild. Traffic on the 1 10 freeway is a mix of extreme high speed during nights and bumper to bumper during "rush hour" around the central city.
East L.A., South Central, Echo Park are areas where the rent is low but the Hispanic population is high so criminal activity (car/mail theft, breaking and entering, assault and battery) is very common to those who are non Hispanic from those who are. Counterfeit documents (Drivers license, social security card, green card ) may be bought from various street vendors in /around MacArthur park.
At Griffith park a lot of barbecuing goes on during the summer so live mariachi music can be listened to for free.
