All those positives is exactly why im trying to zero in on Cali.

Bay Area im not feeling the weather stats.

Question about San Diego though, hows the black population/diversity out there? Id picture it overrun with mexicans.

Plus I heard its a fail for bachelors in SD:patrice:
I'm a young black man from New York looking for a place to move to away from this madness.

But I need some insight on living in Cali (LA, San Diego, etc)

I never been out there so educate a breh on how y'all live out there. Insight on any aspect of lifestyle out there is helpful.

:popcorn:

U ever consider moving to the Chi tho?

Its way more affordable with the best food in the nation

Thats why im looking at it. Im not looking for something too spread out. What you call dense id probably :ahh: at.

But how the population demographics looking. I also heard Long Beach on the comeup and crime is really just in the north
Crime is north, east, and parts of downtown

There's an expensive part of long beach also where the white folk live

Then areas like bixby noles where the hipsters and gay people live

Yeah I've been to New York so I see wut you saying about density, but California is different (dense+packed with cars :scusthov:)

I love LA but I prefer Long Beach than LA as a place to live.

Job opportunity wise you will be better off in LA.

What neighborhood(s) y'all suggest I look into? (LA city and LA county)

I'm not tryna live near pretentious cacs. I'm tryna be near black people with Hispanic mixed in, I don't mind hipsters. But I'm also not tryna be in no gang neighborhoods:camby:


What y'all suggest I look into:ld:


Edit:

I also like someplace dense population and cityscape. I'm from NYC so I like the energy:manny:

Think of beach cities or close to it with working people like Venice, El Segundo, Dana Point, San Pedro, Oxnard, Oceanside, Carlsbad, Encenitas, etc.

It's easy to become disillusioned with Cali if you don't visit the beach frequently and don't eat the real Mexican food where they live. :win:

Sorry forgot to mention I'm looking for somewhere dense too, I'm from NYC so I like the energy:manny:

idk if that disqualifies/adds anything to the list.

Yeah i thought that too, then i went to SD and was wrong lol. Weird bc you'd assume it be filled with mexicans since its so close to the border but no, not many mexicans. LA has way more mexicans

Can you school me on Torrance? That's a spot I'm interested if I make the jump out to california
It's mostly Asian

not too far from tha water (hermosa beach)

it's at the end of the 110 freeway, so it can take you directly through Los Angeles to downtown

Hollywood is not too far, about 25 min drive without traffic
