Demographics

So the most primary thing to living any particular kind of lifestyle is finding your niche. In other words, LOCATION! Therefore, if you are going to be fresh out of college soon (as the case with me) with millions of different options as to where you could work, live, and play, then you really need to know the demographics of the location of interest. And by demographics I am not referring to your typical wikipedia definition, but Mr. Superficiality one.

Therefore, with no further ado these are places that will make you feel right at home if you are...

1. a tweaker and/or someone wishing to live in West LA but can't afford the rent ~ VENICE

2. looking for the beach, city, someone to impregnate you so that you could roll your Orbit stroller down a row of designer but relatively main stream stores ~ SANTA MONICA

3. rich, middle aged, just want the zip ~ BEVERLY HILLS

4. wealthy, old-er, don't want to be near the hot hollywood mess ~ BEL AIR / MALIBU

5. mix between 3 and 4 ~ PACIFIC PALISADES

6. gay, your best friend is your mirror, crunch gym, every scandalous celebrity, overly priced lounges and stores on Robertson Blvd where you will be greeted by pararazzi ~ WEST HOLLYWOOD

7. aspiring actor, model, writer, but would not mind waiting tables to pay rent ~ HOLLYWOOD

8. hipster, most likely bisexual, organic foods, incense, not fooling anyone with your $700 diesel outfit posing as if you got it at a thrift store ~ SILVERLAKE

9. actually DID get it at a thrift store and visit whole foods only periodically ~ LOS FELIZ

I don't really have the accurate demographics yet for downtown LA, but basically it's an up and coming area to live (but only near LA Live, i.e. South Park) although there is not much going on there other than construction and homeless emigration...so if you are a real estate investor, this area is your new home sweet home!

Ok I kind of got tired...LA is a big city and I still have OC to cover, so this will be a multiparter. Stay tuned!
