21. driving and traffic have always been tough in LA. I lived in NOHO before it was NOHO

also lived all over the SFV. live in OC now. traffic is easier in OC but we have street takeovers and homeless (not as many as LA) too.

The Redline from NOHO to Highland was very convenient. But took the redline recently and saw lots of drugged out "nodders"

agree that LA has so much to offer regarding "things to do". I have plans to see the Keith Haring exhibit in Downtown LA soon. Dreading the metro.

Also, LA is a job center. employed people don't want to commute from way out to their job.
