On: California Has the Jobs but Not Enough Homes

[big_youth]

Quality of life is even better in California if you are remote. I don't see how this helps.

I used to live in Austin but after getting a remote job I moved to LA. I get to live in an amazing, walkable neighborhood and rarely deal with the notorious LA commuting nightmare.

Where at in LA? What areas do you recommend from your research?

I'm currently in Echo Park, a few blocks from Sunset.

Downtown is great if you want a true urban feel and don't mind the homeless. I found a deal on rent but was looking heavily at Macarther park to Koreatown area.

I've heard parts of Hollywood are good and pretty well connected on transit lines but didn't really explore.

people don't know this but LA is surprisingly fine without a car if you live in the right areas.

There are many people who live in west hollywood, downtown, santa monica who don't have cars! lyft/uber are also relatively cheap here.

living in LA without a car is the biggest lifestyle hack I've ever done. Best of all worlds.
