Well, I moved to LA about a year and a half ago from Sacramento, so I guess I should put in my comments. To sum it up, LA is rude and dirty. Rude meaning the people can be very inconsiderate, especially on the freeways, and dirty meaning LA has the worst air polution in the United States. I moved here as a freelancer and got myself a nice little studio right near the beach in Redondo Beach, where I'm still living. I managed to pay the bills as a freelancer since all the firms right now would rather contract than employ. A cool job finally came around in Santa Monica about 8 months ago, which is where I'm currently working. VERY IMPORTANT: If you're going to live in Los Angeles, WORK NEXT TO WHERE YOU LIVE. The freeways will drive you insane. I live 16 miles from my office and it takes me around an hour to get to work. Don't move out to LA expecting to find a job right away. There are so many unemployed design school graduates right now it's insane. If you can deal with the horrible traffic and dirty air, LA is great. It's a very artistic place if you know where to look. Me, I don't want to deal with the traffic and people here. I'm getting outta here and moving to Hawaii shortly. You think finding a design job in LA is hard? Try Hawaii...
