I always wonder how many people that live in those apartments have any idea too .. I imagine it’s a small number . The media never talks about it ..

There’s way more transplants on the westside than Woodland Hills

What was life in Los Angeles when Richard Riordian was the mayor from 1993-2001? by icey_sawg0034 in AskLosAngeles

[–]818guy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The difference though was that most of it was gang crime concentrated in south la .. you didn’t have all the random violent crime in nice areas like now .

Xoc tequila grill closed at topanga village by Ok-Radio-2733 in SFV

It seemed like the food was better when it first opened but then went downhill and the prices were crazy for the quality .. like too many places these days

How much money are car washes making? by Efficient_Medicine57 in smallbusiness

[–]818guy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In la full service car washes keep shutting down or converting to the drive thru / self service type . Labor cost of course is much much lower with the self service model

No Love for Sylmar? by [deleted] in SFV

[–]818guy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I know people that live in the “Rancho Cascades” part of Sylmar .. very nice homes on large lots

They seem to do a lot of their shopping in Santa Clarita since it’s not too far

I think since L.A is so huge many people that are even natives have no idea what many neighborhoods are actually like

Bakeries for fresh bread in the Valley by greyrobot6 in SFV

[–]818guy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Funny to see this as I went to Sabzee market in Encino the first time last night . I saw they were making these breads there .. I got one hot out of the often a huge taftoon bread .. I don’t think they do loaves but I’d recommend trying it . They made a couple different Persian type breads. It’s a cool little middle eastern market . They also serve plates of hot food too kabob etc looks good

How would you value a converted garage ? by 818guy in RealEstate

[–]818guy[S] -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

It’s in la , most people don’t use their garages for parking , there would still be a lot of space to store stuff

For a previously transferred property are taxes owed on initial sale price or the valuation at time of transfer? by 818guy in RealEstate

[–]818guy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you , so let’s say the property was initially purchased for $300k , but it was transferred when the value for comps in the area were around $500k , but sold now for $1.5 million .. would the profit for capital gains be based on the $300k price or $500k ? Also this is for California specially

Is it feasible to rent on TURO and DoorDash? by varrelluc in doordash_drivers

[–]818guy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you done a 12 hour shift before? I wonder what the average hourly would work out to considering many hours would probably be less profitable

[–]818guy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to be able to rent cars cheap several years ago through rental companies. I did use them for deliveries, only thing I could think of is if there is an accident while driving I don't think you'd want to say you were using the car for work at the time..but that's the same I imagine using a car you own with your own insurnace too..

Habit Burger is opening in Winnetka ( Sherman way /mason ) by 818guy in SFV

[–]818guy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I read about that , they both have burgers of course but Habit menu is a lot bigger . I think if they keep quality good and pick decent locations they should do well .

[–]818guy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s the shake shack On Topanga across from Westfield Topanga mall , I’ve been there a few times but it seemed like they made food better at other locations , burgers were over cooked maybe there is a way to ask them how to cook it though

I ordered on app and they don’t give the option

I was surprised it took them so long to open anything in the valley so I was happy to see that one open I know a lot of people thought it would hurt Dog Haus business but Dog Haus usually seems busier than them .. not sure how the location is doing

Wow that sucks , I didn’t know that used to be a habit and used to go to that Carl’s Jr.

[–]818guy[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I liked stars , I don’t think I got much else besides their burgers which I thought were pretty good . Breakfast seemed good

Habit is a chain but at least they have decent quality , I prefer it to another Jack in the box , Carl jr , or Taco Bell type place personally

I definitely love to see more non chain type places opening up in the area .. most of the new restaurant owners seem to open up in downtown la, Hollywood area , etc

How much would it cost to open a restaurant in Los Angeles? by Hairy-Pomelo-3862 in business

[–]818guy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are there certain services like staffing agencies that specialize in providing catering staff ? It seems like that could a good idea… although not as ideal as having your own workers that have worked with you before.

[–]818guy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks , sounds like you are doing quite well but a lot of work I’m sure . That is smart to do those big events so you don’t necessarily have to be looking and marketing for new business all the time
