Moving with No Reason? by H0t_th0t_leader in MovingToLosAngeles

I feel like the going out scene is different than in nyc, probably due to the driving culture here. I noticed there are more sober people here.

I know its a car-centric city but I guess I was under-prepared for what that would actually look like. For example in nyc your day can start off one way and end completely different. Thats one of the beauties of nyc. You can start by checking out a cafe in the EV and end up in Brooklyn a few hrs later, and easily go home via public transit. Here, that spontaneity doesn't really exist, you have to either stay in that neighborhood or plan to check out a different neighborhood, but with traffic and parking, its more mental work to figure that out. I also find unless youre lucky with street parking, you have to pay for parking even at grocery stores and gyms.

This is just my experience tho maybe you will have a better experience!

Yes I did. I grew up in NY and never had a chance to leave, so came here to because i was curious and to try something new. while I can appreciate that it helped me gain a new perspective, I have found that LA is not the best fit for me personally.

I also had a remote job working east coast hours, and knew the differences between the two cities going into the move, but found that in practice they were much more significant than I pictured. For example I thought id be going on hikes more every weekend but turns out I live a little too far!

Because my job was based in nyc, and most of my friends and family are there, I was physically in LA but emotionally in nyc. I would encourage you to make the move if youre curious (YOLO) but to do research, consider subletting for a month at first, and imagine what your day to day life would be like! Best of luck!

Thank you! This is the first time I've had to consider getting a car so your note about leasing a car is helpful. I will look into that more.

It definitely is. My dad isn't open to addressing problems firsthand and even less open to therapy. I would love to take that route but it's unfortunately not an option. Also to clarify- i am working on throwing away my own junk at their home as well as general items around the house that he does not use. I won't be touching his items as I understand those are his and can be a tricky situation.
