I love downtown. There's more entertainment and culture there than a person can shake a stick at. What's cool about it is it's fairly unpopulated
because no one wants to go there. What more could anyone ask? Museums, theaters, concerts, restaurants, clubs. Meanwhile, the Westside is a congested mess I avoid like the plague unless I'm on my bicycle. Secondly, there seems to be more whacked out drug addicted homeless on the Westside than even Skid Row, which is beginning to go through a renaissance, for the better mind you.
If I had to leave where I am now, my choices would be:
1) Downtown -- convenient, less populated, quiet on the weekends, cleaner than one thinks. Lots of history --- just check out Olvera street to see that.
2) Burbank -- cute little houses, less populated, Toluca Lake is very nice, quiet.
3) Pasadena -- though it's cost prohibitive. Gigantic homes, Craftsman, maybe a couple Neutra, lots of history.
