Ryan Nelson, my newly-hired Director of Digital Things, will be coming to Los Angeles this week to start looking for a place to live.
Choosing your neighborhood is an important part of any new city. But in a place as big as LA, the area you pick to live in has a huge impact on your experience: traffic, weather, hipsters and panhandlers.
So I thought I’d throw it open to LA folks to offer some suggestions.
Ryan is moving from Columbia, MO, a college town. He’s 28 and has a girlfriend. He will mostly be working from his own place, but will need to come into the office (Mid-Wilshire) at times.
He’ll be making enough money that he could afford an apartment without a roommate. No exotic pets that I know of.
Thoughts? What part of town makes sense for Ryan?
