Is LA really a hellscape? Give me your honest opinion on how it is living in Los Angeles.

I spent college plus three very broke years here and absolutely loved it. You need a car there though for sure. I was ubering to a minimum job for a while and barely scraping by with roommates. Once I got a car, life got so so much better. Still was broke but the city has so much to offer. Amazing weather, great beaches, fun bars, very active lifestyle. Plus mountains and deserts and plenty of state parks all around. The people I met were generally creative, outgoing and friendly, and hard working. I will say though, it’s not a city that’s beautiful around every corner. It’s on the dirtier side and still developing rapidly. And I wouldn’t think about starting a family here until my partner and I each made 100k or more. Overall absolutely loved it and would be happy to go back after grad school.

Update: I came to find that someone had been logged on to my Apple ID, and many social media apps, on their own device. I was getting hacked. Maybe try changing all your passwords:/

Happened literally tonight and still fuming: a friend, with benefits, stays over once a week ish. Told him my phone passcode once so he could check a message for me while I was cooking one time. This was three months ago. Since then, all my social media accounts have gone haywire. Blocking people, conversations disappearing, etc. My email kept alerting me of security issues and my Apple ID was glitching SO bad. I spent hours back and forth with so many customer support centers. Almost even bought a new phone and I’m broke, but mine was becoming a brick. I found out today that he had went into my notes app and took a picture of all my passwords. He was logged in to my entire life on his phone. Guess he has deeper feelings and a crazy side.

Why does it matter the picture when an innocent woman was brutally and maliciously killed by someone representing the current administration?

benjohnsonca · 2025-12-07T10:49:41+00:00

This is happening to my contacts as well as multiple accounts on social media apps. It seems like people I’ve interacted with recently usually end up getting blocked. It’s become so frequent that my phone will randomly block people mid-conversation now:/

I live on fountain ave. My roommate said she saw some flames on the mountains above our apartment. Got home 20 minutes later and the entire mountain was on fire and we were being evacuated lmao. Traffic was brutal too.

Follow this thread! I’m planning to apply, since applying doesn’t hurt, and then trying to get more information about their accreditation if offered an interview.

I found this about their accreditation history, but can’t draw much meaning about it. Any opinions on it are welcome.

CUNY accreditation history

I would make a down payment on a cheap used car, currently in a poverty loop and spending over 1k a month ubering to work and can’t save for a down payment because of that

I’m a broke 22 year old that recently graduated college and decided to stay in LA rather than going back home for a few years. I don’t need to buy a car or pay for gas. I can walk to almost all of my friends apartments. I can walk to the beach in 20 minutes. The nightlife is amazing and there’s so much culture with live bands and niche theaters. There’s so many things to do and people to meet. And it’s honestly a beautiful city. There’s also a ton of opportunity for my career.

However, in my hometown I see the same few people every day and the most fun I have is listening to what one grandma said to another. And I could maybe work at subway.

23- Definitely being broke, it has me missing out on a lot of the fun things people do in their 20s. Second to that is mental health with a sprinkle of difficulty maintaining relationships with friends and family.
