The Good/Not So Good.....(Los Angeles)
My bank account is suffering! š Instead of calling Los Angeles (LaLa Land), they need to change it to Cha Ching Land. We havenāt been here a full two weeks yet and our bank account is looking like weāve spent a month in Houston. Ohhh Key it canāt be that bad!
$150 FOR A PARKING SPOT!
Biiiiihhhhhh! You know Iām hot! When have you ever paid $150 for parking? Never in my life would I think I would pay an additional $150 to park in a garage thatās down the street from my apartment. How you gone make me pay and walk, I feel bamboozled! Rent is sky high, Drinks $20, they charge $60 for day partyās, this isnāt right š If you live in LA, you the shit, literally! Iām trying to figure out how people survive down here. No wonder the homeless population is so big.
The Bad
Traffic- Think about a time youāve been in traffic and wanted to literally scream, now multiply that by 3. Thatās LA traffic.
Nothings cheap- When I say nothing, I mean not a goddamn thing!
Apartments/Homes- The smallest Iāve ever seen for the Biggest (capital B) prices Iāve ever seen. No parking permits. Will get a $67 ticket if you park on the street. Have to pay additional fees for parking.
People- Cool, but Rude. Itās weird. Most people donāt speak, smile, or talk to you. Iām cool with that though. Everyone seems to be very open and non judgmental. Most are very materialistic. But if you got it, do you!
Homeless population- Iāve never seen so many homeless people in my life. I mean the weather is super nice here, so I understand, but sheesh! Itās sad. The homeless people are also a bit aggressive. Iāve gotten so used to them now, I just pretend theyāre my neighbors.
Drugs- My eyes have been opened to the true meaning of addiction. I want to cry sometimes when I see ALOT of young people out here on hardcore drugs. Sometimes it seems surreal. It will be broad daylight and youāll see somebody just strung out on the ground.
The Good
Inspiring- LA is the city of dreams. Everybody wants to be or feel like theyāre somebody here! I love it because itās motivating and it shows the passion and dedication that many have for their specific art.
Weather- The weather is absolutely perfect. I could literally sit outside all day!
Very diverse- The most diverse place Iāve ever been to. Which brings great food, open minds, and multiple learning opportunities about different cultures.
Food- Any food you can think of, you can find it right here in LA. Everything Iāve had so far has been delicious. Im excited to start trying more ethnic food from different cultures.
Active- I feel fat here. 86% of people Iāve seen have been in shape š¤·š½āāļø Itās motivating AF!
Overall, LA is a an amazing city to come visit. Right now, I wouldnāt put this on my relocation list. It just doesnāt seem very āfamily orientedā and I want something different for my future kids. Iāve only been here for a short time though, so Iām staying positive and enjoying the ride. Keep our bank account in your prayers. Yāall know I'm cheap, and we love to eat š© Now here's some cute pics. Top and Shorts from a boutique in Houston (JUSTIN) Sandals-Burlington Coat Factory.
