My max is 700 (what I've been paying as a roommate in palms for the past five years) and I'm open to either my own studio or a roommate. I work night shifts at a dog daycare so I'm either sleeping during the day or going to play dungeons and dragons at a friend's place. On my nights off at home I use my ear buds so I don't disturb anyone while I watch movies or play video games.

If any potential roommate or landlord wants to adopt a quiet cryptid, I'm your thing. Drop a DM. Thanks!

No, I don’t plan on telling the subreddit where I’ll be working, or what my budget for housing is. I’m definitely not moving here to work for a tech company or defense contractor.

I want to live in a dense, walkable area, but I also want it to be completely devoid of poor people, the mentally ill, and any Black or brown person who doesn’t make Wayne Brady look like Huey Newton. I mean, I didn’t say that, but that’s what I really mean when I say I’m concerned about safety.

I’ll check the replies in the morning. If you’ll excuse me, I’m going to catch a Waymo to the Abbey tonight, where I’ll leave my purse unzipped and loosely hanging off my shoulder, and leave my drink unattended. After all, it’s totally safe: I’m surrounded by people who conform to an aesthetic that makes me feel comfortable.

I definitely wouldn’t have gotten in Ted Bundy’s Volkswagen if i were born in 1950 instead of 2000. Why do you ask?

I’m from the East Coast (no, I’m not an aggressive asshole like many East Coasters happen to be lol). I’ve worked at 2 different jobs since moving here for college and have had the same experience at both. One coworker bullies everyone else, and everyone else just takes it because they’re too afraid to speak up. I, for one, take no bullshit and have no problem pulling someone aside and having a respectful but firm discussion where I call them out on their bullshit and tell them to stop, because I know what they’re doing and it’s not okay. Every time, that has gotten the behavior to stop pretty immediately and my coworkers are all amazed at how I managed to do it.

Why does no one here stick up for themselves? Like I’m sorry, but ADVOCATE FOR YOURSELF LA!!!!! Don’t let people walk all over you! Be assertive but kind! Take no bullshit from anyone! I love that people here aren’t aggressive and fly off the handle over EVERY little thing, but y’all really need to learn to defend yourselves from bullies in the workplace and in life! It makes me kinda sad :(
