Second eviction by far.

LA is a horrible place to live , had I been 19 today I'd end up on the streets since housing is so much more expensive now. Stop thinking about what "society" will do to solve homelessness. Garcetti has no real ability, nor will , to fix LA. Leave while you still can. I had to estrange myself from my family , but hell. I went from 25k in credit card debt to 40k saved up. When I moved to Chicago my cost of living dropped by 30% , I had an amazing partner and for the first time in a good while felt hope. I can't express enough how horrible LA is.

Leave now !

I think a lot of big cities are terrible places to live. People only live there because it's close to work, and work is only there because the people they want to hire have already bought houses there.
LA is uniquely messed up since you need a car as well as paying NYC rent.

Cars add an extra 300$ to 700$ a month . Most people just can't afford it so they live very precarious lives.
