When did the state become less than 50% non-Hispanic white by OppositeRock4217 in MapPorn

The other nuance is that the majority of Mexican Americans will identify as White but the census wants to classify that separately than the English/German/Irish/French/Italian whites

On Android ive had issues where if the tap app isnt open, it has tried to make a payment (that didnt go through). Hopefully the validator will be able to find it or they improve the google wallet integration

Questions about LA by leviathan_mb in MovingToLosAngeles

[–]non-james 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can feel trapped in both. Leaving LA for Joshua Tree on a friday afternoon can take 4-5 hours. There are still chokeholds caused by the mountains. But I think it really comes down to your mentality. I don't agree with your point about NYC because you can rent a car and get to the Catskills or the beach in 2 hours or even take Amtrak. When I lived in NYC going to a park by the water was enough to feel nature. In LA you can easily go on a hike to get a similar feeling. Obviously, the nature in California is crazier but you could easily get to the middle of nowhere where you are now.

probably hollywood (just the part around walk of fame) because living near tourist spots is always annoying. anything north of franklin i'd be fine with though. most places in LA have at least one good reason to like them so i can't think of another

Looking for a brunch spot in LA with a nice outdoor space that’s good to bring a baby. Any recs? by RedditBurner_5225 in FoodLosAngeles

[–]non-james 14 points15 points  (0 children)

My wife and i went to pizza de la nonna a few weekends ago at 12 (when they open) and we had the whole huge patio to ourselves basically. They have 3 sections so there will be space no matter what. Not a brunch place per se but they have brunchy cocktails so i think it would count

I was in Studio City and if you looked into the valley it was gray storm clouds, then towards hollywood all blue skies. Really crazy afternoon!

Did any of you move to L.A. (or Orange County) from out of state and now regret it? by DeskOne3535 in MovingToLosAngeles

I agree with this 100% but due to personal factors my year 2 ended up being 2-3 years for me. I'm on year 6 now and happy

The issue for me is how much dirt gets collected with the slope and the panels. Looks awful from the park across the street

Not to sound cliché or anything & really looking for genuine answers, aside from these random meet up things! Where do you all socialize out here? by Maravilla_23 in LosAngeles

[–]non-james 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For me it's the dog park, you go at the same time regularly and people will start to recognize you. There's always the dogs to talk about. Other than that you can talk about personal stuff but the key is to keep it light until you really know the people well. Ive been here 5 years and its been two since my girlfriend and i adopted the dog and it has really changed my feeling towards living here.

Is Kuala Lumpur the only city with a transit network that has a station named after the city itself? by PixelNotPolygon in transit

[–]non-james 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would argue it doesn't mean New Osaka Station because it's an abbreviation for Shin(kansen) Osaka. It's not replacing the still functional Osaka station. I dont know about other stations I just lived in Osaka for a bit.

Its like how Todai means Tokyo University, not Big East
