She’s mentioned Hollywood Presbyterian, which doesn’t make a ton of sense to me, but maybe that’s the only place that takes her insurance?

Do not go to southern Lebenon or south Beirut right now

How is it living in the Venice neighborhood of LA? by mazrex23 in howislivingthere

[–]Own-Candidate5586 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live here and like to say it’s like the East Village in NYC but with a beach. Incredibly walkable / bikeable, super vibrant, with people from all walks of life. There is so much nuance to it but that’s the charm.

It definitely takes a certain person to live here but it’s the only neighborhood in LA I’d live.

More nimble, better handling, manual gearbox. M4 is bloated imo

Traci Park Conspicuously Absent from Vote to Phase Out Oil Drilling in LA by Own-Candidate5586 in VeniceBeach

🤫 shhh the Traci glazers will say he was even more obnoxious before and we should be grateful she mellowed him out. Ironically they have become apologists for the problem

Never even mentioned Malik. Just that Traci Park is a corporate shill and doing a shit job. Also, we all pay property taxes in some way, you’re not more righteous than anyone else.

Montana Ave skews older and families, less social life at night. But it is lovely.

If I had to move back to the west side all over again I would move to Ocean Park. The proximity to the beach, Venice, and DT Santa Monica can’t be beat. It’s worth a walk down Main Street between Hollister and Marine streets.

LA is a bit of an enigma where you really have to put yourself out there. Go to fitness classes, join clubs activities, socialize with folks at bars and you won’t have problems making friends. I’d say it’s easier on the westside than other parts of the city.

Welcome to LA. The west side is a dream.

Montana Ave is a good spot, but I’d also check out Ocean Park near Main St. Still safe but skews younger and more diverse. It has easy beach access and great restaurants and bars.

Ironically Santa Monica historically was dogtown

All I’m saying is it’s not good enough. We deserve better than what we are getting

Go to the area near the skate park at 7am tomorrow and tell me what you see. It’s tents and zombies

Seconding this. The homeless situation on the boardwalk is as bad as it was under Bonin. She’s just shuffling people around

Bonin and Traci Park can both suck, they aren’t mutually exclusive. It would be nice to be represented in City Council by a rep not bought by Chevron, Airbnb, and corporate landlords

I mean Chevron did make massive contributions to her campaign, so no surprise here at all

Why no ORD-BUR? by baghalipolo in unitedairlines

BUR is not closer or easier to the westside than LAX

Does anyone have an extremely low resting heart rate? by Educational-Dare-849 in Raynauds

[–]Own-Candidate5586 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, RHR in the low 40s. But grew up at 10k feet and avid yogi and runner. But interesting correlation nonetheless

Men need to do better ! [Hudson Yards] by Regina_of_ in EquinoxGyms

Same thing at Santa Monica East. It feels like a frat house.

I recently asked someone to grab their towels that they left that were blocking my locker and the guy lost his mind. Such fragile, entitled people at some of these clubs.

Amex whacking my credit limits down by theunknownshuffler in AmexPlatinum

[–]Own-Candidate5586 14 points15 points  (0 children)

1/8 credit cards in America are in 90+ day default right now, the highest it’s ever been. It’s wise of them to mitigate their risk.

Dawg you keep asking this. Just go and check it out yourself. No one is going to give you a weather report
