Moving to LA.

[Devia]

You'll be lucky to find a unit with a refrigerator, much less a washer and dryer. Be sure to inquire about parking.

that's all kinds of stupid. paper is even worse for the environment than plastic.

Part of the "problem" is people are more inclined to recycle the paper bags. The plastic ones people would just toss or they would go flying and creating a lot of litter. Traveling on the freeway, you'd see them stuck on fences all day and the second they cleaned them up, within a week it's back. Also the paper bags we have a tendency to reuse. We have a mix of paper and reusable that we use for groceries and I usually keep a paper bag in the back behind the passenger seat of my car to toss garbage in.

Ok, 100% living west of the 405. Also, WTF is with using "the" to describe a highway.

hey bro, welcome to socal.

Refrigerators aren't standard in apartments in the LA area? Wtf. Just moved to Seattle and it's expensive as hell but at least every place I looked at had a fridge, and I ended up finding a place with W/D too.

"Three ring" is even in the lyrics

Personally, I do not know about apartments without a fridge and oven. Like, some really really cheapass (relatively) and rundown places might have that, but everywhere I've ever been has had them.
Now a dishwasher, and washer/dryer, probably not, unless it is a recent and upscale place. Generally though there is a washer/dryer room for the whole complex, or a laundromat nearby.

All I know about LA is that they make those talkie pictures out there.

[BaneTheBrawler]

the movers?

[Zetanio]

the movers?

Yep. Fancy stuff out there.

[Vaspinne]

I hear they make a lot of porn there too, in some place called "Silicon Valley", you know, because of all the silicon in the boobies.

[Cantih]

Not anymore, Measure B from back in 2012 has the industry running from LA.

Yeah, you used to know when you reached LA by the billboards for cosmetic surgery.

[Cantih]

Most of them featuring Angelyne lol.

BRO HOW YOU GONNA LEAVE DC

Clearly he wants to be closer to Archie & Ksandra.

It's how you can tell if somebody is from norcal or socal. People who use "the" to describe shit are 100% from socal. Thank god you don't have to deal with the word hella down there.

Opposite experience for me. Before we moved to the smaller apt to be near work, we looked at some nicer places when we first moved out here. None had refrigerators, but they all had dishwashers. Even our current apt has a dishwasher.

And let me tell you, I don't care how tiny our apt is, not dealing with work traffic for hubby is worth it.

Ring, you may think you can handle LA traffic...until you've done it everyday for like a month.

Be as close to work as possible.

Thank god you don't have to deal with the word hella down there.

It's been slowly spreading down here since a decade ago, primarily through asian community links between here and San Jose.

I'm surprised no one's mentioned the thing that L.A. residents dubiously call "air". When i went to visit a museum there a few yeras back i spent the entire time needing to drink water every 10 minutes because my mouth felt like it was full of ashes and dust. Hell, especially in winter when the cold air forces it down, you can see a brown haze where L.A. is at from 2 hours south of it on the 5.

Spoiler: show

BWAHHAHAHA yeah right, as if you ever get from Mission Viejo to L.A. in 2 hours on the 5. more like 4.

[Cantih]

Still not as bad as it used to be in the 60's-80's.

[Psion]

Oh, I'm sure. Still couldn't pay me enough to live with air that bad. I had a taste of bad air quality before when a wildfire broke out around rancho santa margarita and lasted a week... the constant smell of smoke in the air wasn't terribly strong, but after a day or so i was constantly coughing and teary eyed until the fire was put out. horribly miserable several days for me.

L.A. is only slightly better than that to my nose.

San Diego seems better in air quality, but then again you have jaywalkers who seem to throw themselves at your car everywhere.
