Considering the 405 runs north/south, that doesn t make much sense. They obviously don t know what they re talking about, so I wouldn t listen to them if I were you. There are nice places both west and east of the 405 and north and south of the 101 and 110.
The everyone that is telling you that must be living there in Maine, because that phrase is not familiar to people in southern California. Be aware that if you do move here you will be coming to one of the MOST expensive cities in the country with one of the HIGHEST unemployment rates in the country. Be prepared for the price of almost every thing you need or use to be roughly 50% more than it is in Maine. You will also find it nearly impossible to find work here unless your present employer is transferring you here with a guaranteed position.By the way, most Californians consider the term Cali insulting. It compares our state and it s residents to a drug city in South America. People from other states, and a few ignorant Californians too young to understand that that word is intended as a put down are the ONLY one that use it. It instantly marks you as an tourist . We call our state Cal .
I don t even know what that means. Which side of the 405 is considered below ? Do they mean to stay west of the 405 as in this is safer then living east of it?I really don t see what all the hype is about any freeway. The 405, in the city of LA is a major route from one part of LA to another, therefore it will be heavily congested during peak hours. But once these hours have past, it s just another freeway.It all comes down to what time you travel, and where you travel to. Careful planning can avoid you a lot of headaches. But unfortunately out here many people expect to jump in their cars and to have the roads free of traffic, as if they are the only ones out here.
As in staying away from it?Because it s TORTURE I kid you not! It s probably one of the WORST freeways of LA.____________To live below it: Why would you want to live below it? That s stupid! They re either jealous or they re just kidding.
They mean to stay west and south of the 405 freeway when choosing a place to live.The part of LA bounded by the 405, 10 and 605 freeways is the worst part of LA and is to be avoided at all costs.
