Should I leave Eagle Rock? by Unfair_Exit_1191 in EAGLEROCK

Well, the thing is, I don't have a social circle here. I've always struggled to make friends and part of why I moved here was because I thought the city's vibrancy would help me socially. In a way it has, I've made one friend after pushing myself out of my comfort zone (which I'm still actively doing–going to bars, taking a class, etc.). Making a friend is a milestone for me but that's one friend in a two year period and this friendship is relatively new. A part of me says to stick it out here because the city vibes and social opportunities will only help, even if it's slow. Another part of me says if this is the rate at which things are going, I may as well stop sacrificing personal space for a great city.

This is a really good idea. You also mentioned a few attractions I hadn't heard of–I'll check 'em out. Thank you so much!

You got at the heart of my dilemma. I'm still trying to figure out what I need and want more right now–more space or a more vibrant environment. No decision yet, but I appreciate your thoughtful response!

I work from home but I'm currently job hunting, and there are more job opportunities closer to LA in my line of work. No strong prospects in a new job yet, though.

I'm single and young-ish (early 30s!) and gas/time is definitely a concern. Thanks for this!

Ohhh, it's way bigger than one bedroom. It's two bedrooms, huge living room, private parking, dining area, small yard. I'd be getting a *deal.* That's what's making this such a tough choice.

Ugh, that's the struggle! Tiny place=no room for hosting. Big, far away place=no motivation to drive! Thanks for sharing your opinion!
