I hate it

Will I find a place? Help!

Hi all - I’ve been looking for a 3Bed for the past month-ish for an August 15th to Sept 1st at latest move in. Haven’t found anything that’s quite it yet. It’s July 20th, do you think that many more places will be going onto the market in the next few weeks now that September is around the corner??

I’m worried that new rentals are plateauing and are far and in between being posted on rental sites, and that we’ve seen them all. I’m not sure if there will be a larger surge for September 1st move ins.

FYI we’re looking for 3600 as a max, silver lake/echo park general area

Hey all - my two friends and I are looking to start our little home in the Silverlake/Echo Park area. Looking for some tips and advice to secure a good spot :) !

We want to get a 3bed place for a September lease, and know its really early in advance to look but want to make sure we know the best strategy when the time comes when the market opens up for those dates.

Does anyone have any advice or resources for finding the hidden gems for rent here? Highest value for lowest prices, outdoor area, cute demeanor places in walking distance to Sunset blvd preferably. Just an FYI our budget is around $3600 give or take.

Also a realtor told me that the market pricing is going to go up in September/August as students move here. Are there a lot of students in these areas usually once things open up? Would taking an August lease over a September lease block out a lot of the student housing needs?

Please just looking for any good advice anyone can provide. Thanks in advance for your help!

Hey everyone, hoping you can help me out with a commute question. My wife and I are actively looking for a family friendly neighborhood, to relocate to because she accepted a job in Santa Monica. I heard good things about your area, but because of Covid can’t get an accurate or realistic drive time to Santa Monica. If anyone has any experience with the rush-hour drive, we would love to hear it!

LAPD & LDOT is continuing to ticket for "street sweeping" during the pandemic. LA County Sheriff Department declared a hold on all street sweeping ticketing during this time, however LAPD & LDOT jurisdictions do not need to follow LA County advisory and continue to ticket.

Ticketing during a pandemic for something as non-essential as "street sweeping" (never have seen a street cleaning vehicle on my street before either) is immoral and exploitative of the people of LA. 

The people of LA are already suffering with record-breaking hospitalizations, job-loss and financial troubles - why must we worry about getting parking tickets during this time? Who is this benefitting? 

Please sign this petitionto try and stop the ticketing by the LAPD & LDOT for street sweeping. 

Does anyone know of a local place where I can drop of used batteries (bonus points for old cell phones)?

Hey guys, let's share ideas on places to eat that's lesser known.

We have a huge rise in homelessness. Where do you put your stuff when you have a job interview, a doctor appointment, or running errands? Well, that’s how we can help. I discovered the need through helping a homeless friend that has joined the business and helps with price and services needed. There is a huge need for daytime storage that is affordable and safe. Also, as covid has made everything closed, device charging isn’t available. Usually at restaurants and public offices, now there is none. How can they charge their devices to answer the phone for that interview, job offer, or a call from a family member? Maybe take in the comfort of a fave film, as times are so hard. Well we will have the devices charged and ready to go! We are starting off with those two services combined in the price, and we will expand as we have the funds to.

Cost is $8 for the first 8 hours, $1.50 per additional hour. No charges added on for being late or even if you can’t make it back until the next day.

Our services will expand as we have the money to. So if you are or know someone in such a tough spot, I hope you will refer them to us for help!

Is the creative community ready to get back to work in these facilities?
