Reply To: Los Angeles, Yes or No?

Hi glock maybe we are neighbours… 1 million is very outdated. Houses in la brea area over 1.5. We rent. Rent or property is the highest cost. School costs similar to other communities I have lived in us and they give decent break if u need it. Many baalei teshuva families also in la brea (us for example) that want a real makom torah. But bear in mind the huge billboards (we call and complain about some of them and they get removed) and proximity to trendy Melrose and Hollywood. Lots of homeless. But I love Los angeles. Miss Israel but this is am amazing community. I lived lots of places. If u keep chalav yisrael then yes all milkig products cost more than n.y. many more details
Lots of kiruv opportunities to invovle yourself in. I find l.a. has enabled my kids to thrive without the box. One kid bh shtark married kollel guy. One modern and keep halacha and thriving too and still feeling belongong. Others still young…iyh… one can find their niche here. Omg the weather…how can a working mother feel down when she can do outdoor water aerobics class in the winter
