Headin' South - a plea for advice/help

[Alex]

No help since you couldn't pay me to live there (well you could, but it would be a hell of a lot more than anybody would) but almost everybody I know down there either lives in the 'burbs or a shoebox (and most both).

My vote would be to go back to New York (and giving that vote its due consideration LA should now be winning by 79.9999999999999999999999%).


Ok, one piece of advice. Look for work and then a place to live. The second is easier to find in convenience to the first than the other way around.

Points well taken. I think the big difference between the LA 'burbs and the NYC 'burbs is that all of the action in NY is concentrated in Manhattan (and a little bit in Brooklyn), and the commute to there from the 'burbs can be a real PITA, while the things that interest me in the greater LA area are more spread out (Oh yeah, and there's less snow to shovel and fewer leaves to rake in LA).
