I wasn’t kidding. LA is expensive. If you have a low wage skill set, you’re screwed.
Then, as others have said, move.
30 million impoverished third worlders get here from parts unknown, and then these dumbasses languish in the desert?
Forgive me for not giving a shit.
LA is expensive. The outlying districts are less so, as with any large city, and the houses are bigger too and more land. On the other hand, we have many poor people here in Los Angeles who somehow make it. There is always the option of upgrading your skill set so you can make it through life. life is TOUGH, no promises. It is not heaven down here.
