[@Edgar_Allan_Poe_50]

L.A. native here, best thing about L.A. is there is SO MUCH CULTURE and no matter what you are into or what you look like or where you are from you will find what you need here. It is so much more than the Hollywood/entertainment place. Diversity, food, tech, automotive, health/fitness, did I say food?, surf beach, hiking, sports. It's close to the Caribbean and central America. Don't let the cost of living discourage you but he's right about the entertainment field it is competitive and I meet so many people at my church who come here for one thing and end up finding a completely different more fulfilling calling in something totally unexpected. No place like southern California (dude). 😎

[@alicen2610]

Are you in Vienna? It's supposedly one of the best cities in the world to live in. Obviously not a lot of cool stuff coming out of there or Austria but you also have to factor in how large LA is and how many people live there. For every celebrity or famous KZbinr, there are likely thousands more struggling, barely being able to afford to live, aspiring to also make a living from those things. It also attracts a lot of rich kids who can live a lavish lifestyle despite not having a job. Of course people like to see how rich and cool people live, so they may get popular on KZbin and social media, but an average person can't live a life like that and attract followers. Also, in cities where less is happening, it is easier to stand out locally. You likely have a better chance taking off in Vienna as a KZbinr or musician than in LA where there are far more people to compete with.

I've been to L.A four times and I would have to disagree. The public transportation isn't that bad in L.A. A car can be a real money guzzler,so it's good to have alternatives to owning a vehicle. Especially since traffic is so bad in L.A

Los Angeles is great to visit but the cost of living is terrible. The house I own would cost 800k in Los Angeles. The people are diverse with food and culture. Also the taxes are horrendous to include some of the laws.

[@rontom7344]

Coming from someone who has lived here his entire life, the biggest con he didn't mention is -- the traffic. No matter the day or time, except like midnight to 4am or so, the traffic is always bad. Although its not the greatest city, I can't think of anywhere else I'd rather live than here in L.A.

I'm surprised that the high crime rate was not mentioned.

[@issac9930]

Rama Crime is heavily centered in ghettos, and between gangs. Most people watching this video will not move to a ghetto or join a gang. If you were to take out the ghettos and gang-on-gang violence, then the crime rate wouldn't look very bad at all. This is the same for basically all major U.S. cities. Just don't go to drug and gang infested ghettos with your expensive car at night by yourself, and hang out with the right people and you will be fine.

I am considering moving out there, so this was a very helpful video.

[@capitalac3258]

I’m originally from Tennessee, I moved to La in late December 2017. I go to a high school and it’s my senior year here. The only pros LA have is it’s beaches, foods, and scenery. Yes minimum wage here is nice compared to the south, starting from 10$ but with that wage come higher prices. Like when I first got here my mom was paying 2000$+ for a 2 bedroom apartment.Theres lots of homeless people also and the air is wack, AND PEOPLE IN LA CANNOT DRIVE. I’ve almost lost my life twice by some idiot while trying to cross the street. Now let’s talk Highschool, Most schools in the east are what I like to call “inside schools” I call them that because for most of the school day you are inside the school. And the schools out here are outside schools, NO I don’t mean you go out with your class and sit on the grass and read and do work. I’m mean that when it’s lunch you are out side and you can pretty much eat where you want ( CLEVELAND HIGHSCHOOL) and during breaks you are outside chilling with friends. My hobbies out here now is playing my ps4, chilling at the mall w friends on fridays and Saturday’s, also going to party’s. That’s pretty much, all I can say is, I miss my home, I miss my friends, La suck BALLS, me and my family are moving back when I graduate and yeah that’s it.

Thanks for sharing this. You're definitely right about the fact that people in LA can't drive. Its very aggravating.

When I was visiting there I had to flip off a bitch who acted snotty towards me at the Union Station when I was headed back to my cousin's place in Palmdale; all I did was try to get her attention to compliment her since she look real good, but she acted as if I was somehow irritating her, so the next best thing to do was to flip her off, cuss her out and keep it moving. She'll remember that shit for the rest of her life.

As much as i would like to move out here, I feel like it would be impossible if I was livin with myself, just because of money but since me and my friends are ending high school soon and getting ready to go to college, we are all thinking of getting an apartment and staying in LA. Which if you think about it, that would be pretty cheap. But at the same time, it’s nice to have alone time without your friends always around you

[@amy-joneslizard6343]

I think if you live somewhere in Arkansas or Alabama and then you move to LA then yes, I guess it would feel expensive but if you live in London and move to LA then you will be just fine and prices will feel reasonably cheap in LA compare to London

[@PrettyGirlLiv]

I want to move to Los Angeles but it's not to be in movies or anything. I want to get in radio and media but I mostly want to me there because of the weather and better job opportunity. I live in Detroit been here all my life and hate the winter, don't like the cold at all and it last forever. The only good jobs your going to find without a college degree is working in car factory making, building cars for like Ford,GM, and Cyrsler. It's not easy getting into those jobs because you have to know someone that know someone that work there. And I don't want to be building cars for the rest of my, that's hard labor and you still don't get paid that much. Detroit not cheap either you want a good apartment you paiding between 650 to 800. Downtown you paiding 800 between 1000. Unless you live in the hood, but those apartments can be expensive but not worth it because people don't take care of the buildings. And finding low income apartments our hard because people moving in them and don't never moved out. Not much to do here, you mostly got to go way up to do things or go downtown, they don't have no malls in Detroit or even a Walmart. You got to go way out for those things. So I know if I can make here in Detroit I can make it out there, I'm determine to make it out there because I know I don't want to live in Detroit for the rest of my life. Great advice. I got a car, but I the cost of living is going to be the biggest issue for me living in Los Angeles but I think is going to be worth for me because of the weather, the many things you do out there, hopefully better job opportunity meeting new people and because I never left Detroit. I want to move out there by next year and the plus I have family that lives out there. I just got to meet them😂. But anybody that reads this. Please wish me luck.😀

Hi Livia, Detroit sounds really afforable compared to LA. LA is more expensive, but the quality of life is much better. You'll get paid more so hopefully that will make things easier. Good luck on your move, I hope you succeed!

Livia G / go for it follow your dream, I can totally understand with being somewhere your whole life and wanting to move to a different state n city. I did it 16 years ago when I left my hometown of Houston to LA, it was one of the best decisions of my life and LA is like none other in the United States. LA is a lot of fun and interesting but just know that it is very expensive and if you don’t have family or close friends there it can also get very lonely at times. In a city so large with millions of people you would think it’s easy to randomly make friends or hook up with someone but that’s not always the case in LA .... Best of luck out there ...

Just let me know. Cheers and ankh, udja, seneb.

[@Matty002]

this applies specifically to the west side of la, not the city as a whole, which is large and diverse. alot of the pros and cons change if you look at the valley, east la, south central, or down near san pedro

[@shawnnewman2708]

In Ontario, Canada-it sounds about the same (minus the weather)...for a 1 bedroom/bachelor apartment, you'd pay 1600-2100$/month (with 1st and last months rent up front)-and that is for a regular, run of the mill place that isn't worth the price...if you'd pay 2100-3000$, you'd get a much nicer place, but who can afford that? There are tonnes of homeless people, drugs etc here as well, so it makes me think this is not just in Cali, it's everywhere! Also, it is very competitive here finding a job too, but the difference is these jobs are usually regular joe jobs (restaurant, office, construction etc.), in no way are there any opportunities in such creative fields as Calif offers...So really when you think about it, it may not be too bad for some people; its just the way the world is now.

I agree with the above comment! I moved to LA with enough money for 3 months and a short term 3 month rental. I got a job within 6 weeks and have been here for 2 years since! It's easy to get a job in LA to be honest, even if its just a short term job whilst you're finding your feet. Just make sure you save enough money to fall back on for 2/3 month because employees in LA will drop you as quick as they hire you. Sometimes in life you've just got to take a chance.

[@sayjaibao01188]

Ka frames LA's public transit is actually getting better. The newest rail lines from downtown LA to Santa Monica Beach is very popular so is the Redline subway. Many ppl learn to navigate the city without a car.

[@Alienainsworth]

Trânsito pior que o de São Paulo não deve ser. Aqui no Rio o trânsito é a pior coisa! Então se for igual já tô acostumada hahaha Meu sonho é morar em L.A também

[@ivanostrovsky8556]

Can you move around LA on a bike?

[@shammydammy2610]

LA is huge.

[@isaacb4955]

Totally! If you’re okay getting hit! 😉 I got hit by a car when I was riding my bike 🚲 going the right way on the right side next to the curb and on a smaller side street they hit and ran and left me on the road! Was in the emergency for 3 days straight. Not fully recovered yet(2008) People here don’t obey the law-they run red lights all the time. My rule is ALWAYS pause at the green light change and look both ways and NEVER go when the light changes to green. After my accident and when I was physically able to ride again; I stuck to the river bed trails to avoid all the car and semi truck 🚛 traffic but then I had to deal with the transient or crack heads along the under passes of the riverbeds. Ride safe friend!

[@charlottebuchanan3193]

This was a good video. I like the why you talk. How often do you see celebrities?

[@FreshPepper]

Thank you 🙏 , I see celebrities regularly. Perhaps three times a week

[@charlottebuchanan3193]

oh goodness Im so jealous lol. I'm not a celeb stalker but I think it be really cool to see just ONE. Ive never seen ONE. I live in Pittsburgh Pa 😞. Is it true that they hate to be bothered.

[@FreshPepper]

Michelle Rawlins lol yes, they really do hate to be bothered. Most especially when they are eating or out with family.

Pros and Cons living in Los Santos

[@jassellem8276]

here in my country it is really fun to be in here but L.A has been my dream city since I was 10. I always search it on google maps, view pictures of beautiful houses, beaches and such in L.A, I kid you not, in every prayers of mine, I'd make sure that visiting L.A soon is included. I don't really know why, maybe because famous youtubers and singers lives in there and I've been dying to see them. But I'm afraid of judgment because everybody told me that people in L.A are judgmental.

[@reganfreer3542]

I really want to move to LA, I live in the UK and it's rlly boring here and I would like to see more stuff like new food, skyscrapers, busier traffic, the accent and the nice cars and the weather

[@bryantfife9160]

thanks for the advice I'm planning on moving to la soon

[@FreshPepper]

You'll love it

[@alexisdigregorio6368]

Hey! Do you have any thoughts about the transition from New York to LA? Any marked differences? Thanks!

[@FreshPepper]

Hey, I've spent a good amount of time in NY as well. LA is cheaper than NY, but not by much. The apartments here are definitely bigger, there's a lot more opportunities for actors, and great networking opportunities for anyone in the entertainment industry in general. The biggest difference for me is the lack of public transportation. In NYC, the subway is probably the best and fastest way to move around, but in LA, you pretty much need to drive or take an uber. Taking the bus or subway in LA is a slow painful process, you have to take two buses, walk, and maybe even a short uber just to get to your destination. Finally, you have to plan your day carefully out here since most of it could be spent being stuck in traffic. It takes an average of 30mins to get from one place to another and maybe 4x longer in rush hour traffic. Hope this helps

[@Sam-cs3mi]

Great video, thinking of moving to LA soon . Amazing moto Work gets work.

[@FreshPepper]

Yes it does!

[@adripanda2873]

This is good because I’m going to LA in a couple months

[@Deader87]

Los Angeles along with San-Francisco, Seattle are one of three cities I am contemplating moving to one-day for a career in Videogame-Development as I think there would be more opportunities for that than my current hometown of Ashland, Oregon. Would you suggest Los-Angeles as a place for a videogame-design career?

[@FreshPepper]

Yes, Los Angeles is a great place for a career in gaming.

[@Deader87]

Awesome. That it will be great.

[@zorbaclub]

I want to be a filmmaker, I would love to move in LA as its is the world of filmmakers, by the way what is rent there?

[@FreshPepper]

It depends on where you live. As a filmmaker you probably want to be in Burbank, Studio City, Culver City or West Hollywood. 1 bedrooms in those areas usually rent for $1400+

[@zorbaclub]

and which film school should i go, and thank you so much for all details

[@alexman378]

FILMMAKER’S STORY In LA? Take your pick, they’re everywhere.

[@soundsspace3739]

I'm from NYC and I already know that moving there would be a hell of a difference. A gluten free city 😂😂😂 smh imma miss bacon egg and cheese

[@ltm3368]

Very informative, thank you!

[@croxxmusicable]

I live in the Inland empire about 30 miles outside of the city

[@lifeisstrangerthingsfr]

what town, or area, would you recommend???

[@cellardoor199991]

It's a COUNTY filled with cities

[@marwanitoh]

I would love to live there. I'm a stand up comedian from Italy, show business here is not like in LA. It's really hard for people like me, mostly because italians don't even know what stand up comedy is and that makes me so mad about my country. We don't even have house of cards on Netflix, how is that possible?

[@missmillionz]

what about fires and tsunamis? Do tsunamis happen? I'm just scared of the bad natural disasters that my mom always talks about.

[@thrashingmetal]

lol we never heard of tsunamis threat in Calif. Fires? yes in the summer/fall forests burn like crazy because it is dry. But it does not affect the city, just outside

[@Galaxyyyy]

Grcae Ho i live in California and it only fires in the forest in the summer and no tsunamis happen

[@sayjaibao01188]

Grcae Ho dont live in the hills and you'll be fine. Tsunamis are very rare.

[@Thespeedrap]

good video I've been thinking about LA for a very long time.Just don't know how or who to go with I'm thankful I have relatives out there.I just got to figure how to get out there.

[@abrahamcastro9376]

I been to LA Four times i love the vibe there its so diffrent from texas and i want to have a group of friends to skate around town n stuff.

[@justinbeck4197]

Thanks. I spent a lot of time there as a kid because my grandparents lived there. I love the spirit of "making something happen" but high rent and always car is maybe too stressful for me.

[@Always1Ambitious]

Should i move from Miami to LA? Miami is deff amazing and more affordable but no outdoors stuff and not as diverse of things to do

[@jairocastromora292]

How about people who doesn´t have a job and want to work as retailers of stuff. Should it be possible?

[@pastorbridgettbrooks1227]

I know the south central area is dangerous, but is it cheaper?

[@FreshPepper]

Pastor Bridgett Brooks its by far cheaper

[@harrydaloc9112]

Its not dangerous Baldwin Hills is the black area but you got a mall, movie theater and leimert park where they have the African and Black festivities right in the middle of the so called hood. South LA was bad in the early 2000's and 90's its mostly gentrified now.

[@davidbauer6409]

A lot of gentrification has been going on in South LA, it’s completely different from when I use to drive by on Crenshaw Blvd on my way to work back in the 1990s.

[@syd6166]

I live in 102°F/39°C everyday so when he says its warm and I checked the temperature is highest 84.2°F/29°C I'm thinking wow that's the perfect temperature

[@rajnishsharma208]

Harry Jackoffski hi mate, I am from India. I want to shift to L.A. I am thinking fo doing liquor retail shop business. Will it work ?

[@harrydaloc9112]

Rajnidh Sharma yes that's very common here, actually

[@rajnishsharma208]

Harry Jackoffski what business would you suggest me then ?

[@harrydaloc9112]

Ranjnish Sharma maybe a restaurant but make sure you find a good location and spend good on advertisement or a car dealership is fairly easy to start but you a good amount of capitol and you need to advertise your business as well. I'm a stock day trader and I work from my home.

[@rajnishsharma208]

Harry Jackoffski will you recommend any business related to clothing ?

[@valorantlegendgod]

thank you for this quick informative vid

[@lizp6561]

What about the earthquakes?

[@FreshPepper]

Lizeth Perez Once every 2-3yrs...only last for 10seconds

[@Kornrocker90]

You get used to them...before U know it u wont be able to feel them unless its higher than a 3.5.

[@mike90susanoo84]

Been living in LA, rarely felt earthquakes

[@thrashingmetal]

we don't have earthquakes, very rare. Also, buildings are anti seismic

[@yourfavsnack5105]

Santiago Arciniegas hahha so true

[@rrttyy11229]

Are the houses and apartments there very expensive?? And also is the salary there high?

[@FreshPepper]

Yes, the houses and apartments are more expensive. To put it into perspective a one bedroom apartment that'st 600-800 squarefeet can cost you $1,300 - $2,000. The minimum wage in LA is moving up to $15/hr

[@saxenas]

@@FreshPepper is the homeless situation forever gonna be a huge problem there? It's so damn depressing seeing that side of los angeles. Also, why is downtown always eerie and quiet? Even during times when it's supposed to be packed.

[@thekeyblademaster9301]

I'm planning to move to LA when I finish college.

[@FreshPepper]

its a great city, I love it

[@gerardmackay8909]

I went in 1995 and it was a hell hole. I was threatened with a knife in a liquor store because I was in the wrong neighbourhood ( the look on the owners face when we walked in was ‘wtf are you two doing here’?) . The city itself (not the canyons obviously) was as flat as your hand, crawling with cars, soulless and ugly. We moved on to Santa Barbara which was absolutely beautiful and up the coast to San Francisco was beyond gorgeous (though 20 plus years later I know prices there have rocketed and they have a terrible homeless problem). In short LA was the biggest letdown of any place I have ever been

[@bikabika253]

Yeah how is it?

[@Tidepod_Prince]

Answer us please

[@Rodrigusificacionn]

I am an actor, or I try, and an artist. I am from Spain and thinking about moving to L.A. and I have a question. How is the politics in the art and acting business in Hollywood or L.A. in general? Because here in Spain is literally EVERYWHERE and that is the reason I want to move. It is EVERYWHERE since the schools of acting, the amateur theatre groups to the professional and great productions. EVERYWHERE and the productions and producers suck. I would thank you a lot if you answered.

[@edwardduarte7393]

Also you may get a project but it films in Palmade or Louisiana for 8 months. You have to think about success as well. You can't be like oh I work at this job. You go. It is very selfish living like but that is reality.
