"OKP: Tell me everything you know about SoCal"
Tue May-26-15 08:35 AM by legsdiamond

          

For a few years my LA crew been telling me to move out to LA. I've resisted the temptation but I'm at a cross roads. The art/design scene in Charlotte is BOOOORING.

We have a baby on the way and we are thinking about making the move in the next year or 2.

My concerns.

1) THAT LA RENT IS TOO DAMN HIGH.
2) We own a home in Charlotte and the market is still hot here. Do we hire someone to rent it out for us? Mortgage is $850 and we could prolly get $1100 a month for it.
3) Is we trippin? Charlotte ain't the worst but it lacks that big city energy we are used to.
4)Traffic. Is it really that bad?
5) earthquakes, droughts, mudslides..

****************
TBH the fact that you're even a mod here fits squarely within Jag's narrative of OK-sanctioned aggression, bullying, and toxicity. *shrug*
