Dear littlelionness:
Regarding your question: “did you find it to be a more open place for different nationalities, or just a place like any other?”- LA County, from the South Bay in the south to the San Fernando Valley in the north, from East LA east to West LA west, it is HUGE. Where you live within the county makes all the difference. Except that traffic is unbelievable heavy every single day for hours in the morning and hours in the afternoons and into the evening, sometimes extending beyond when there are accidents. Gang crime is a huge problem in many areas, as many neighborhoods “belong” to this or that gang. And there are many gangs. There are very wealthy areas and neighborhoods and very poor areas.
Rents and real estate prices are extremely high all over LA, mostly in the more desirable places, so it may be hard to feel at home when most of the paycheck goes to rent… for some, I imagine.
Is it a more open place for different nationalities- politically it is, that is most politicians in the Sacramento and LA are liberal- but there are plenty of people living in LA that are politically conservative.
