Is traffic just as bad on the side roads or going to the grocery store?

I know about the freeways but I don't know what you can expect when you're just grocery shopping, going to a park, riding your bike around streets, or hanging around your neighborhood.

I stayed with a friend and it was pretty crazy just going grocery shopping at Target. Granted he lived near the Chinese Theatre which is right in the heart of Hollywood lol.

Moving to LA from NYC with family

I'm weighing a decision to take a once-in-a-lifetime job in LA which would require moving my family (husband and 4 year old) to LA. We are most concerned about creating a lifestyle that resembles that of ours in Brooklyn where we can still walk/bike easily to our daily spots (coffee, groceries, pharmacies, doctors offices) and be off Metro to get to work in downtown LA and/or museums/beaches/parks on the weekends. Looking for suggestions on neighborhoods/cities in LA County that we should be focusing on.

Best Area to Live for a student

Hi Everyone, for context I go to a college located in Koreatown. My original plan was to move to La in January with 2 other girls, but my in person classes have started a bit earlier than i had expected. I am from San Diego and have been commuting since it is only 2 days a week, but this is going to burn me out so quickly. I dont know much about the communities and where a good place would be to look for apartments. I am hoping for something affordable for college students or subleasing for a couple of months. Does anyone have any recommendations?

The Sinclair LA, in Westlake, any experience, advice, thoughts? Moving soon, looks like an option.

Moving to the city for work, am low maintenance/not fragile, just need a cheap place for my training period/first year on the job, found The Sinclair LA and would like firsthand experience with the place, the more recent the better.

Looking at street view and crime maps, I get it's not a gated community but you know beggars can't be choosers.

Appreciate any info and advice.
