I'm very seriously considering moving to the Los Angeles area in the next 1-3 months, and am looking for suggestions on where exactly to move. I need to be relatively close to LA. I don't want to be in the valley, the ghetto, a high-crime area, etc. And I'd need to be able to find a 2-bedroom place for around $1100 or less. The closer to the beach, the better.
Any suggestions? Thanks for the help!
p.s. If you're in IT and can hook a brother up with a job, even better.
