i would second the melrose area. nice places and really in the middle of most things.

i think 1500 would get you a nice big ass place in LA or santa monica..
i think they are included.. thats when i looked in to it

1700 isn't really considered cheap in LA. I think maybe NY peeps put more towards rent because they don't have to drive. 1700 will get you a really nice one bedroom or maybe even a small two bedroom in Santa Monica, but prepare for the car payment / auto insurance.. u need a car in LA mos def
- dinky0
yeah car is always good
o so how long does it take to get your license plate these days?
i remember few years back it took 6 months i heard?

my gas/electricity is not included in rent, but only like 30/50 bucks a month

Venice is cool, when are you looking to move?

incase you have to live on the westside, like most nuts. but if you dont have to. look up Belmont Shore. its in long beach. 30min from l.a is really niiiiice. and not as expensive the westside.

(May 26 06, 08:24)I think cheap vintage attire is still very fashionable here, but of course u need to buy the kind with the fancy labels on it.. :P and the justification for the nice ride is the fact that you spend so much time in it.

been out here for 8 months...but i went for a long time without changing from my minnesota registration.

hat you drive, how you dress matters so much there...

(May 26 06, 08:24)yes and no, i guess if you are a certain type keeping a materialistic image is important, but i wouldn't say it matters "SO much" there...

Man, all the houses look the same out there!

yeah man, coming from new york, at least you can get a pretty sweet modern apartment for the budget, but very little space.but comon, those places look like they were built ages ago.
