I came the other way .
Uk to socal .
I’d rather have the ability to use public transport than have to drive everywhere
Commuting to la from south oc ? Forget it !!!
I worked in portland for a while a few years ago when I first came over , and that was more like it .
Walk to the Train station , then a quick hop to the city center for beer and football !!!
My old commute into Manchester City center wasn’t much fun on the train everyday , but to get anywhere else in the uk is easy if you know what to plan for .
I guess you never got the right info to do this planning , but I’ve managed a beer in 4 different countries plus a job interview all within 24 hours ...
