Date: May 20th, 2013 10:49 AM Author: Pearly House I believe it has to do with the water, which doesn't work well for making the dough. Also, I think they are reluctant to pack as much fat into the pizza as in other areas. But yeah, it's awful all over northern and southern california.

This whole thread is silly. The benefit you get in L.A. in exchange for the sprawl and traffic is that it's generally a credited city for middle class living, and part of that is cheap-to-mid-price restaurants. TBF, L.A. does suck at pizza relative to its overall prowess in this domain. E.g. the burger renaissance in L.A. has produced a lot of good spots all over town. L.A. is one of the few cities outside of NYC where you can actually find really good jewish deli food or a badass Italian deli. Lots of good options for basically all kinds of Asian food (Sushi, Korean, Vietnamese, didn't find especially awesome Chinese, but I'm sure it's available). And of course lots of excellent Mexican food (dominates all NorCal in this respect, and probably only San Diego and Texas can make legit claims of being better).
OTOH, fine dining wise L.A. will never be able to compete with NYC or even the bay area (i.e. counting both SF and Napa), though it still falls well above the median of tier two U.S. cities like Boston and Philly. |

Date: May 20th, 2013 10:47 AM Author: French cerise field lol breh i just moved away from LA after 5 yrs because it is decidedly not a good place to live if you are middle class. sure it is probably better than NYC / SF but that doesn't say much. you still need $1 mill to buy a tiny shitty little house. it is still a giant hassle to do anything. and just lol at having kids in that city -- i would kill myself having to drive them around anywhere.
as for pizza, there are a couple of DECENT pizza places, but it's insane that you have to search far and wide for even a decent slice. forget about finding one in your immediate neighborhood unless you just absolutely luck out. |

Date: May 20th, 2013 11:57 AM Author: Exhilarant Kitchen Hominid Fair, I suppose I should've said upper middle class, but my point is what's best on a decent 10-year lawyer salary. The LA real estate market provided one of the best opportunities of our life times for upper middle class people to build great sums of wealth in the aftermath of the financial crisis. The party is essentially over now, but if you had any decent savings in SoCal in the 09-11 period you would have grabbed up a bargain (or two) if you had any sense, and in doing so would've set yourself up with an asset that has already appreciated immensely. It will provide YoY returns for decades that are certain to be huge, especially when compared to cost of renting, and especially if you're upper middle class (i.e. 200k in household income per year) and can't take advantage of a lot of other tax breaks. There could still be opportunities for upper middle class people to find good entries in the near-term future as PE firms who bought a ton of distressed properties might curb the pace of price escalation as they sell off, and will often be selling reliably at the precise moment when a neighboorhood turns from primarily renters to primarily owner occupied (i.e. the perfect time to buy in, because the PE firm isn't going to actually fix up the property, but you can and your neighborhood will continue appreciating as a result). Long-term RE will be an impediment to non-upper class life style in LA (just as it is in MFH, DC, SF and Boston already), but for people our age it represents a uniquely huge opportunity, especially if you are handy at all and can handle a fixer upper without spending a ton on tradesmen.
The schools are generally shit, though, that's true. But it's also true in every other major city (SF, DC, Philly, Chicago OFS) other than sort of NYC, but not really.

Date: May 20th, 2013 12:29 PM Author: French cerise field even if home prices dropped like 20% from 2009-11 you would have still needed like 150-200k down payment for an entry level shit home. and most of us were either still lowly associates during that time period or even still in law school. plus you realize that the stock market appreciated significantly since that time, too, right? so it isn't like home ownership would have provided a bigger gain than just buying an index fund.

domino's is actually pretty good, as long as you're not expecting a ny-style slice. |
