Good point, Akula.
Yeah, LA is probably a only really worth living in long-term if you are one of the following:
1. You work in the entertainment industry or a related creative industry.
2. You moved there to try an break into the entertainment industry or related creative industry.
3. You plan a short-term stay (a few years max) and are just there to party your ass off before you move on.
4. You are rich and you don't mind paying crazy taxes because you can afford it and you live in a high-end place (Hollywood Hills).
Otherwise, it ain't really worth it. In fact, for a regular guy working a normal 9-5 job, I would say it is definitely not worth it unless all you plan is #3 above.
