I was very busy last night so I gave u a very brief description but now I can elaborate. First of all I disagree with a few people. LA can’t be labeled as more or less tznius because there are SO many different types here. There are very yeshivish people (although they are still plenty open-minded), there are less yeshivish people, even less yeshivish, modern, MO, All types! A lot depends on how yeshivish you are-where u would live here. The area where I live is more yeshivish and the schools I am affiliated with are also more yeshivish. They do have much more of a limited choice and the community is very spread out and mixed up. There’s not that much choice in schools. There are many kollelim all over. There are pretty few yeshivas and I’d say Yeshiva Gedolah is the biggest. The community is very warm. Yes, the mentality is very different. Nobody pushes, shoves, screams, honks, speeds, etc. here. People are calmer, friendlier, nicer and more patient. People don’t stare at you all day, they are more open-minded and all around a very nice place. Hollywood is probably five minutes from my house but if you don’t want to you don’t go. I don’t even know which movie stars live next door to me! The billboards I got used to (but I’m a girl) since I grew up here. This post is getting long but if you need any more info. maybe the mods can give you my email or something. G’luck!
