Does LA have a tech scene?
San Diego is the best city in the country. If you can afford it.I had a coworker who lived there. She loved. Surfed daily.
Does LA have a tech scene?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silicon_Beach
All of the FAANGM companies have some kind of office in West LA. You also have tons of military tech (Raytheon, Northrop Grumman), an explosion of various VR content creation companies, plenty of video game development, interactive marketing, and all kinds of other random startup shit. Plus research universities like Cal Tech, USC and UCLA, Aerospace like Boeing, NASA, JPL.
Venice used to be a bougie artist neighborhood, and now it is an expensive nouveau riche neighborhood for Snapchat millionaires and other startup tech.
The Mayor of Long Beach was also trying to find ways to get even more tech companies down there. I think it was unsuccessful but Play Del Rey/Vista were Wetlands 10 years ago and now they're home to all kinds of tech shit.
I even forgot Tesla an SpaceX because of my blind hatred for Elon Musk!
I know it's mega-expensive but I love the flavor of the state. Progressive politics and so on. They recently banned private prisons, which is a great thing.What do you plan on doing in California? :thinking
California in 2020 is one of the worst states you could possibly move to.I'm aware of the issue with housing and such. I can make it work, tho.

I hate this fucking garbage. Complete betrayal of the existing constituency. But who cares about your current constituents when you can get new ones? Culver City was working like mad to attract tech companies too, without the slightest regard for current residents. As a result, we get shit like this:

If I had an Infinity Gauntlet I'd transplant the entire LA tech scene to Riverside.
A quick look at a zoning map of Culver City shows that most of its residential land is reserved for either single-family housing, or duplexes, a policy which is known to drive up the costs of housing. Even in those areas where "high-density" residential development is allowed, the city's height limit prohibits buildings taller than 56 feet (or four stories). Nearly half of all housing units in the city are single-family homes.
A predictable result of growing demand and stagnating supply is that rents and home prices have skyrocketed. The median home price in Culver City was $1.1 million in 2018, a 12.7 percent spike from the year before.
Yeah, I’m working in Playa Vista. Any advice on where to look for an apartment is appreciated.oakland and emiliano are going to miss you, bb :'(
come to the central coast 8) you can ride your bicycle through the hills of solvang and santa barbara :lawd
2200 for a 1br? Fuck, that’s cheap. I’m moving this weekend. I should have moved there years ago!
When Grumman was relocating me, I was praying that I'd be going to San Diego instead of Melbourne FL. Unfortunately that wasn't the case... loved it in SD when I went for work (even got to chill with Bebpo!) and it seemed that Rancho Bernardo had a bunch of tech and defense companies.
For LA, my current company has a branch in Irvine and apparently according to people from that office, there's a sizable tech scene down there and in the OC.

What neighborhoods have the best mushrooms purchasable within walking distance?
Is there any trick to learning the geography and layout of LA? It’s even intimidating to look around where I’ll work on a map.
santa monica, venice, playa, westside etc - healthy living, shit nightlife, expensive beach housing, tech fuckery, shitty fake newfoundland fishing aesthetics
weho and beverly hills - gay and expensive
hollywood proper - sucks lmao
los feliz, silver lake, echo park - expensive hipster
downtown / little tokyo - finance bros, anime, hookers, homeless people, alcoholism
burbank - movie studios and old people
san fernando valley - porn, xanax, slightly cheaper living, suburbia, binge drinking, house parties
glendale - little armenia + suburbia
pasadena - combine the gentrification of the westside with the lifestyle of the valley
orange county - white + asian racism and suburbia
san gabriel - asian lyfe
everything else - i dont know
This thread is confusing, because Esch is from St Louis and hangs out with Shaka and that other dude in my headcanon.
You do know me.
I'm in Echo Park these days. Pretty sure I can find you shrooms.
Yes, Sunset between Echo Park and Logan. There was a Pioneer Market right next to it, which was where we did all our shopping growing up.
I'm now living a 5 minute drive from the house I grew up in where my parents still live. It's kind of surreal. Neighborhood has changed tremendously. I can stand on Sunset for 10 minutes and see more white people than I'd have seen in a month in the 90s.
koreatown though :rejoiceI drove to solvang to to grab a couple zionist lattes and passed some biker boiz enjoying the beautiful weather and mountainous views :rejoice and thought of you, bb :lucillecome to the central coast 8) you can ride your bicycle through the hills of solvang and santa barbara :lawd
oh, i've thought about that too though it would mean i'd have to drive at least 4-5 hours to see my parents in temecula instead of 2-3 :'(
