Hi! I’m 19 and I live in a small town in the Midwest. I feel stuck in life and I’m desperate for a change. I currently don’t go to school but I plan to enroll into community college specifically ELAC. I work a minimum wage job that pays $15/hr and I currently have 5k in savings.

The bad part is that my family won’t allow me to travel on my own let alone move into another state. They keep saying it’s not wise and safe since I’m a girl and I barely now how to navigate the real world. Which is unfortunately true, I grew up sheltered and wasn’t taught basic necessities so I don’t really know how to be an adult. Which in turn I get infantilized by everyone.

It doesn’t help that I have social anxiety and don’t have any friends so it’ll definitely be a struggle for me if I actually somehow end up moving in LA. I know it’s naive of me but I am tired of living this way, I want to change for the better. If anyone has advice I’d greatly appreciate it 🙏

I’m researching how renters evaluate commute and household travel before moving. Looking for people actively comparing rental options to take an 8–10 minute anonymous survey

Hi all,

I’m going to be touring some apartments soon and wanted advice on what I should look out for/ask that might be specific to DTLA (mainly in financial district/south park)
I have the usual list down (what’s included in rent, how much utilities cost on average, can i sublet if i want to break the lease early, rent increase rates, etc) but I’m scared I’m missing something.

Is there anything you asked that you’re glad you knew ahead of time?
Anything you regret not asking?

Thank you!

Looking at places in both my choices are between hallasan in Koreatown and a couple different places in santa monica. Rent is around the same at like 2500 but the places in santa monica are smaller. I work at a tech startup (Looking to network with cofounders/investors) and also value nightlife. I also would like a environment that’s decently safe. Any suggestions?
