Marina Del Ray is nice...Culver City I'm not sure. Where is your work gonna be?

Well the one that replied back is UTA. They are 9560 Wilshire Blvd, between Santa Monica Blvd and S Beverly. All of them are in the same block except one, which is like 3 blocks away.

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.

Well technically I dont need to get to a highway. I could probably buy a freaking scooter, and thats all i'd ever need to get to work.

Where I need to start is located in either LA, NYC, Miami, Memphis, or LV. I'll take LA.

BTW, California is sliding north, not west.

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

Last time I was there, Dallas is a lot better than Fort Worth.

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.

There is some apartments that I was looking at early on in Playa. One block from the beach, and the west facing apartments have an ocean view.

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....
