Culver City has a nice "reborn" downtown area but the rest of it is older 50s and 60s housing. Not the prettiest in the world but it's relatively cheap and if you get a place near downtown there's tons of stuff to do in walking distance.
WeHo is great (lived there for years) but being so central it takes forever to get to a freeway, then they tend to be stopped dead. Easy on a bike, PITA in a cage. Get a place as close as possible to where you're going to work. Commute times suck. |

Dallas at least has some educated people..........Fort Worth is more red-necky. However even with Dallas you still have: 1) flat 2) hot 4) the churches are the size of high schools 5) most of the neighborhoods are generic 70's on up architecture. Your choices are limited to cheap vinyl siding, or fake stucco McMansions. No bricks or victorians from the 20's like real cities have. Only advantage of living in TX is the gun laws, and the cheap homes (compared to the coasts). But Austin is probably the only part of it I'd be able to tolerate.

But I've kinda limited my searches to WeHo and Beverly. Just based on drive time. Even though Googlemaps says Playa is 16 minutes, you know the traffic will make it much more. I'd almost like to pedal bike it, or even Ruckus it. Would save me hella money in gas.... And I'd much rather move to Arizona before I would move to Texas....

I grew up on a 400 acre farm and cattle ranch. Texas still sucks monkey balls.

Texans, they're almost as delusional as Alabamians.
