Moving out from family home in suburbs of Pacoima. Haven’t felt like I lived in Los Angeles this whole time. I’m 27, taken, and female.
I’m ready to do Los Angeles the real way. People come from Out of state, dream of living here, the least I should do is take advantage of my location and not need to make a whole trip across the country to live here.
As someone who has not been able to make friends, but don’t have anything wrong with myself, just lack of opportunity, where in LA would be the best area for me? ( most of my HS classmates had a baby soon after graduating HS ( not my vibe) , my college was remote for 3 years, and I work remote).
I have a dog, want to meet people who are also looking for friends, and I work remotely. My budget is $2000 including utilities.
I considered housemates, but I don’t think it’s worth the hassle of her living with some strangers.
I’m going to feel self conscious preparing food, taking hours in the kitchen, sharing fridge space and kitchen pots and pans, as well as sharing quiet hours/respect others sleeping time, etc
Where would you suggest? Please help! The reason I want to move out is to finally make some friends! I feel it’s so hard to make friends here nobody wants to come to pacoima. My parents are fine and treat me like an adult but I feel like I have no social life and I’m not interested in driving an hour plus to where fun things happen
