LA is fricking terrible. If you are going to move to California move to San Diego, San Fran, or a million other places before moving to LA. That is all

So. I disagree with the premise. LA is awesome. Absolutely awesome. One of my favorite places to visit. Manhattan Beach up to Santa Monica is amazing and nothing in the state is better than Malibu. But... Knowing people that live there... Unless I wanted to live in Koreatown and share a tiny arse house with three Asian bros, or live on someone's couch, it's damn near impossible to make it work. And the traffic is so horrendous it's not worth it to live far from the beach, so your options are limited. Anaheim, for instance, sounds miserable. It's extremely cost prohibitive. Which is true for San Fran as well, and San Fran's weather sucks. You're right about San Diego that would be my top target for living in California, but if I had the money, I'd live near Manhattan Beach and be super happy.
