Living in LA - affordability? -

Hi,I have a question: is $4200/month enough for a family with an infant child to have a decent living? Thanks.

It depends on what your idea of decent is. You could have a nice modest living with $4200 (net, after taxes) a month. You can expect to pay at least $1500+ on the westside for a 2 bedroom, more for an apartment with many amenities. It really depends on your expenses and what you consider decent. Be sure to check your credit to make sure there are no mistakes on it that might prevent you from getting a rental. Not all areas of Santa Monica or West LA are nice, some are quite undesirable, so be sure you check out the neighborhood.You might consider Culver City or Palms, too.

Yes, this is plenty to live off of. Because you do have a child, (I don t know if you will be sending him/her to a private or public, let s just say public) you should stay out of West L.A. because you really do not want to be a part of L.A.U.S.D. you may be able to afford a decent apartment in Bev. Hills. Santa Monica is also an excellent place to live in. If you are going to live in West L.A. try to stay in the Century City, and Miracle Mile districts. Good Luck!!! Oh! Yes what that other guy said craigslist.com excellent site. Immeasurably helpful!!!

Yes, but u did not state how many in family besides child. Either way, bring your best wallet to Los Angeles!!!

4200 clear is more than enough

Yes, you should be able to afford a decent 2BR place.Check out westsiderentals.com or craigslist.

If you mean $4200 US dollars then that s PLENTY.Keep in mind a minimum wage job in LA will barely get you $1000 mo.

New orleans to clarksdale then clarksdale to memphis.? -

I will be traveling around the U.S. from april to september 2010.part of my trip is going to be in the south and I really want to visit clarksdale, Mississippi.I have been spending ages trying to find a service that can take me from new orleans to clarksdale (as i wont have a car). but as of yet i havn t found anything.could anybody please tell me the best way of doing this?would I have to go from new orleans to a different delta town and then take a local transport bus to clarksdale?if anybody answering this question could give me some info of a similar service that can get me from clarksdale to memphis that would also be extremely helpful.thanks, Eliot.

Greyhound bus can get you from New Orleans to Clarksdale, MS and then to Memphis. The bus makes multiple stops between N.O. and Clarksdale, and you apparently have to backtrack to somewhere like Vicksburg to get from Clarksdale to Memphis.www.greyhound.com

Can someone give me some direction on a trip to New York? -

I m looking to go to NYC with a few people this March. I once went to Chicago with a friend and we stayed outside of the city, next door to a metro stop so we were able to go into the city every day. The thing is, I m sure this is possible in NYC, but I don t know which area to look for. Can anyone recommend what to do? We re looking to drive, so it would be nice to stay outside of the city near a metro stop where we could park. Thanks!!!

what the hell is a metro stopIf you want to park outside NYC, in addition to NJ look at the outer boroughs which are mostly residential.

The New York subway does not go outside the city limits. There are commuter trains that go to Westchester County, Connecticut, Long Island, and New Jersey, which you could take, but if I were you, if I wanted to visit NYC I would stay in NYC. Anywhere you have to take a train you re talking about at least half an hour each way plus whatever hassle there to get from where you re staying to the station.When we drive to NY, we often park at the Croton-Harmon train station in Westchester, which has cheap multi-day parking, take the train into NYC, and stay in the city.

you will have to stay in nyc. If you don t it will be hard and expensive to get there because there aren t any metro stops outside of nyc. If you re looking to save some money and park the car while you go check out the sites and tourist spots, i recommend staying in brooklyn or queens. The hotels are cheaper there and less tourists. There are a lot of trains that can take you from there,and they will get you anywhere you want in nyc. I recommend brooklyn, that way you can see the hudson river and go through the brooklyn bridge to manhattan for example. (if you take the D, N,or Q trains though) or go to the other side of brooklyn to see verrazano bridge, etc

If you re looking to stay outside of the City, look no farther than Jersey City, NJ, which is located right across the Hudson River from Manhattan. You can commuter into and out of Manhattan on the PATH Train, which is a commuter interurban train that travels between NYC and the cities of Hoboken, Jersey City and Newark.The link below is the location of hotels in Jersey City.Good luckNative New Yorker

There are so many best places to visit in San Francisco. The best places in San Francisco are Coit Tower (great view of the city), Twin Peaks (another beautiful view of the city and it s free), Chinatown (the Fortune Cookie Factory is interesting and fun), The Cable Car Museum, San Francisco Zoo, China Beach (for one of the best pictures of S.F.), drive down Lombard Street (very fun driving down the crookedest street in the world), ride a cable car, Alcatraz, Golden Gate Park (has many excellent attractions including the S.F. Botanical Gardens, Buffalo Paddock, and the De Young Museum), Japantown (great atmosphere and shops), Fisherman s Wharf (delicious seafood and plenty of places to buy souvenirs), Pier 39 and The Embarcadero (for shopping). You ll also want to visit Muir Woods, just north of San Francisco for a wonderful nature experience.

*_~ So glad that you re considering San Francisco for your vacation.Try to stay in Union Square. http://www.unionsquareshop.com/ When you arrive at the airport, take the SFO air train that goes around the airport, then you��ll get off when you see Bart, take Bart to Powell Station (should be about $6-9 and it takes 20 mins ) that��s Union Square. http://www.bart.gov/ for schedule..I just love the weather and the diverse culture here!! Traffic can be hectic but still bearable. Public transport is great! You can always take Bart, ferries, bus, taxi or cable car etc. However, if you don��t have much time or want to travel beyond the city �C I think a car would help a lot. Yes, you have to pay for parking, but save you time to go more places faster.. Try the ��City Sightseeing Open Top Bus Tour�� which is about $30. ��This unique open-topped bus tour of San Francisco includes four different routes, the Downtown Loop, the Golden Gate Loop, the Park Loop, and the Night Loop.�� You re free to hop on and off as often as you want on the downtown loop.Embarcadero is wicked nice, and it s not THAT far, so you could really just walk down it to the Ferry Building. http://www.ferrybuildingmarketplace.com/ On Saturdays they do a nice farmer s market and you can get lots of good stuff. Walk down to Pier 39.GET THE San Franciso POPOUT Maps�� I loves these POPOUT map- you get to see where you are- =) No Thinking required, especially on vacation.

What are some small, rainy towns in or near Rhode Island? -

I am trying to convince my parents to move.I HATE my town. It is always sunny, and I like the rain.Everyone in my town is a prep. I m not.Everyone is EXACTLY the same, and I m different.If my parents do finially decide to let us move,what are some small, constanly rainy/cloudy towns in or near rhode island?(I currently live in Bristol County of RI)Here s a map of Rhode Island.http://www.riedc.com/data-and-publications/state-and-community-profilesAlso, what can I say to convince my parents to move?My dad already has to drive to Boston every single morning at 4am, and doesn t get home until 8pm.My mom works from home.Please don t even bother answering this question if you know it isn t going to help.(i.e., something like forks washington or don t be selfish, think of your parents. or unless your 18 you have to live where your parents live or try to stick it out and make the best of where you live nnow . NONE of those answers are the slightest bit helpful.

Rhode Island is too small to have different weather patterns. The weather in one part of RI is the same state-wide. So what you want doesn t exist.Sorry, if it doesn t work with your agenda. But sometimes the truth is the truth.
