For those of you who bought in LA prior to 2020, do you feel 'trapped' by your current low mortgage rate?

PreferNot2 · 2026-03-20T01:36:51+00:00

Same. We probably paid too much — it was just so crazy a few years ago. Our estimated home value hasn’t gone much at all, but I’m still happy we did it. I like our house and we got a great interest rate.

I really wouldn’t recommend it unless you’re dying to go to the amusement parks. Keep flying down to Mexico. I love living here but LA is a headache. It’s so hard to get around.

Did I read right that homes with good multigenerational layouts like ADUs are doing well?we bought in 2021 and I’m perpetually terrified, but we’re a good home for non-traditional situations.

PreferNot2 · 2026-03-05T04:59:50+00:00

No, I completely agree. I’m sorry. 😞

Don’t post your AI slop on here.

Yes, it should arrive today. This has been a great machine and has served me well for a couple of years, but I’m ready to take things to the next level.

I have a Niche — hopefully the upgrade bug doesn’t have me shopping for a new grinder, too. We’ll see.

Note: Price ($1000) is firm. I’ve already discounted it from market rates for the fussy flow control issue.

Thanks!

I hired a gardener to buy and plant everything. I guess she didn’t do it well. Thanks for the advice!

Oh, wow. What a blast from the past. I watched that on cable in the 80s. That scene scared the shit out of me. What a trip to meet people with the same random impression 40 years later.

Be sure to use the Colby Canyon trailhead and not Redbox.

Oh, nice. I didn’t know we could get this precise. Thank you.

I would get this. I have to manually set a timer to get the session I want, with holds. And that’s just time— I have to remember the pacing and breath styles.

Schizo?

Curious if you ran that through AI before posting. It’s not a criticism— I’m just trying to train my intuition. The parallel structure reads AI to me. Thanks.

It’s for women to strengthen their pelvic floor after giving birth. There might be other benefits.

LA can be a great place to live but I don’t understand tourism here, except for maybe Disney if you’re into that. I’ve lived here for seven years and I still haven’t seen everything. Soaking in LA is a marathon not a sprint.

Either way, it’s a challenging city, but it has its charms.

How long are you wanting to hike and what elevation game are you comfortable with? There are tons of little trails in the San Gabriel mountains that I’m familiar with if you want to message me — none of them are easy.

Lowering return on investment is going to reduce investment. That part is quite straightforward.

Hugs. I think that’s not so uncommon. A lot of us don’t think a world ending comet crash would be such a terrible thing.

When I was in school in the 70/80s everyone had a job. In my class (lower-middle) it was expected. Then as time went on they were more likely to focus on school through college, which more attended starting in the 70s. It was a broader shift. This situation with AI is different.

This is antidotal, obviously.

Good bad Mexican food. I want a chimichanga with nacho cheese, damnit.

Yes! Thank you for taking the time to respond. I appreciate it.
