I asked about best areas in LA for retired couple moving from NYC. I got great recommendations Considering Melrose/Beverly Grove, Beverly Hills, Larchmont/Hancock Park, Fairfax. Basically want to be close to Cedars. Santa Monica or Marina Del Ray also possibility. I never spent any significant time in LA and fires and air quality is huge concern. I see fires are everywhere. Probably stupid question but what it is like to be in areas i listed as far as air quality? Do people stay inside? What about last year fires? Will i be better off in SM or Beverly Grove?

We prefer public transport, being close to major medical centers. Climate and air quality major concern. Want to buy. Would like not heavily republican area such as OC. Moving from NY area
