Nice places to live in LA, California? -

hii m looking for neighbourhoods in los angelesa place where there are some teenagers too.Something like this?http://www.floridadisaster.org/mitigatio��pls give me names and stuff :) thanks!

L.A. is a HUGE metro area... and if you want something like that you need to be out of L.A. the actual city and look into suburbs away from it... but honestly... that picture you showed looks like a TON of places in the suburbs here... so you would have to come see where you like the best... in the suburbs there are TONS of teenagers anywhere you go really...

We see this every day in this forum: Everyone who wants to move here is looking for ��cheap/affordable and safe . However, such a place just doesn��t exist; the two terms are mutually exclusive. It s all about supply and demand: If it s in SoCal, then it s not going to be cheap to begin with. If it s a safe area, then it s more expensive. If you want to live here and enjoy the weather, then you have to pay for it. You put up with the smog and the traffic, enjoy the weather and pay your rent or mortgage. My advice is to start checking out craigslist, rent.com, and apartments.com if you are looking to rent. You��ll quickly see that the minimum rent for a non-war zone is about $1,000-$1,200 per month for a studio or 1BR. Really nice areas (like the West LA area) easily run $3,000 or more. Want to live near the beach? Expect to pay a premium. LA is such a big place, there are so many neighborhoods/cities where you can live. Of course, even within a city or neighborhood, there are safer sections and less-safe sections.In Los Angeles, some nice sections are West LA, Brentwood, Westwood, Marina Del Rey, Playa Del Rey, Los Feliz, Silverlake, and Eagle Rock. Palms and Mar Vista are pretty good, too. In the Valley(part of LA), you have Encino, Tarzana, Studio City, Toluca Lake, Granada Hills, Woodland Hills, Sherman Oaks, West Hills, and Chatsworth. Glendale and Burbank are good places, and are incorporated cities of their own.To the east: South Pasadena, parts of Pasadena, Altadena, Arcadia, Monrovia, Glendora, San Dimas, Laverne, Azusa, Rancho Cucamonga.Along the beach: Santa Monica, Marina Del Rey, Playa Del Rey, Redondo Beach, Manhattan Beach, Hermosa Beach, Torrance, Palos Verdes, Rancho PV.In Orange County aka The OC : Seal Beach , Huntington Beach , Newport Beach , Corona Del Mar , Laguna Beach , Dana Point , Capistrano Beach , San Clemente , Brea, Yorba Linda, Orange, Tustin, Irvine, Laguna Hills, Rancho Santa Margarita, Lake ForestTo the west: Agoura, Calabasas, Thousand Oaks, Westlake Village, Simi Valley, Moorpark.This is not an all-inclusive list, but it s a start.

Torrance, CA is a very nice safe citynot to far from los angeles maybe a good 20 minutes freeway driveMany teenagers here because of our malls, and nearby beaches and movie theatersI grew up my whole life in this city, nothing major crime related hardly happensThings to do:Del Amo Mall,AMC 20 Rolling HillsAMC 18 Del AmoRAT Beach ( right after torrance )We have a Rec. CenterCity PoolMulligansBowling AlleysAnd you will find plenty of places what you are looking for in torrance,Walteria might have somethings like that too

Something like THAT is not common in LA.This is more common in LA:http://la.curbed.com/uploads/archives/20��http://graphics8.nytimes.com/images/2005��http://img2.photographersdirect.com/img/�� (don t mind the cops in the way)And yeah, you get the point. Also, do not expect a nice and spacious 2300 sq. ft. 4bd 2.5ba home for $230,000 in California. In fact, don t expect an empty lot at $230,000 even.

Should I take a day trip to Molokai or Lanai? -

Going back to Maui for the 2nd time and I d like to take a day trip by ferry to either Molokai or Lanai. Which island is a better choice to visit and why?

Those two islands are very different! Both of them have very small populations--neither island has more than one public high school. Transportation to both of them is a little tricky. You ll need to ride either a prop plane or a ferry to get to either one. The ferry ride to Lanai is shorter, cheaper, and smoother if that makes a difference to you. You start to see the difference when you fly into the airports. LNY is small, but air conditioned and modern. You have to walk down steps when you deplane in either airport, but at MKK, the gate you walk through is literally a chain-link gate. Molokai s airport terminal is little more than a shed, about the length of a high school gym, with four signs hanging on the side: baggage claim, check in, snack bar, and air freight. Plenty of people walk right past the baggage claim on Molokai, maybe because it s a wide concrete bench, maybe because there are usually people sitting on it.98% of Lanai is owned by a company called Castle Cooke. There are two luxury resorts, and almost everybody lives in a small village in the center of the island, all neat and quaint with cute boutiques and cafes. Most of the population of the island is of Filipino descent. The local school benefits from corporate sponsorship when companies like Nike hold executive retreats there. When Bill Gates wanted to get married in a private ceremony, he simply paid for every hotel room on Lanai, and every commercial plane ticket in or out that weekend.Several miles away on Molokai, more than half the total population is of Native Hawaiian descent, and more than three quarters of the schoolkids. The largest tourist attraction is what they used to call a leper colony. A couple dozen Hansen s Disease patients still live on the Kalaupapa penninsula, at the bottom of a thousand foot cliff. Visits to Kalaupapa are tightly controlled, unless you have a sponsor who lives down there.On Topside Molokai, several activist families work hard to chase away anything that looks like mass tourism or overdevelopment--cruise ships for example. Because of their opposition to a proposed luxury residential development that would leave a footprint bigger than the island s largest town, the largest employer on the island shut down the 18-hole golf course, the only movie theater, the hotel with the island s only elevator, and a popular restaurant and bar in 2008. Many of the island s residents make their living through a combination of farming, hunting, fishing, and bartering, and they raise their children to be proud they can live off the land. There is only one hotel on the island, but when you are in the restaurant, looking out to sea, hearing local characters like Uncle Mel and Larry laugh and joke at the bar, watching somebody s auntie get up and dance hula to live music, it seems that the buildings of the Hotel Molokai are the only buildings in the world. Meanwhile, up the hill, among the picnic tables outside the Kualapuu Cookhouse, it s Thursday night: prime rib night. Local folks who still have grease stains on their shirts from work have brought ukuleles and a washtub bass to play music just because they enjoy it. They ve convinced Bruiser to come out of the kitchen and sing a Bruddah Iz song. You ll have to pop across the street to the market to buy a bottle of wine, but the food is fantastic! Which island you prefer will be up to your personal preferences, but visiting either place takes careful planning. Transportation to either island is so limited that a high school sports tournament could prevent you from getting a ticket if you don t make reservations ahead of time.

If you re a scuba diver Lanai is great because it has a famous dive site called the Lanai Cathedrals. It s a series of lava domes you can swim through. If you re not a diver I think Molokai may have more sights to offer.
