I recently saw the article on an actress complaining she doesn't make enough to live in Los Angeles

Problem is... She is choosing a rich or upper middle class neighborhood

If she lived in Compton, East LA, Crenshaw, Watts, South Central, or anywhere in a cheaper part of LA... her money can go farther

Personally, I wouldn't be afraid to live in the hood in a decent house there if it meant saving money until I'm an A list actor like Tom Cruise

I mean you would probably be a target if it was truly a bad neighborhood and you were actually rich.

I'd rather live in the middle of nowhere.

Youll just get robbed though. Its better the rich stay out of poor neighborhoods since the market value will just go up.

I've lived in ghetto areas for over 2 decades and just recently moved away from them. 2 back to back shooting happened this past weekend there with one person shot. Last year someone got killed next to my backyard and I've witnessed deaths and multiple shootings over the years it's not worth it especially if your rich.

Being rich in a bad area is just asking for trouble. Which is why the only rich people in bad areas are the ones at the root of trouble.

Hell no. Have you actually been to the hood? The goal of most people living in the hood is to get out of the hood.

I'm born and raised in Los Angeles and I don't even like to visit one of my friends because he moved into the Jungle (Baldwin Hills).

They have a standard of living and aren't willing to lower said standard regardless of how much further it'll take her wealth.

Although she's not special in that regard. And most people think the same regardless of their income.

Even still if someone wanted to save that much they'd be better off moving to Mexico, and purto rico or something.

LA gangs keep on shooting the rich celebrities that live in their neighborhoods, so no I absolutely would not want to live there.

I thought that wasn't even legal, wasn't section 8 restricted by income caps?

Look what happened to Pop Smoke and that happened in Hollywood Hills.
Living in a gang zone is making you a sitting duck.

Higher chance of getting robbed and my home invaded? No thanks. I already dislike my neighbors from my current neighborhood. Bringing hella people for parties and getting drunk and damaging other cars. Also, they damaged my car with fireworks last July 4.

if I could vet future neighbors before hand as decent people, I would.. But that's impossible. I few ruin it for everyone.

This. As someone who lived right down the streets from the projects, I don't go back there unless I absolutely have to. One of my neighbors as a kid was a little girl who died because a bullet from a drive by went into her bedroom & killed her. She wasn't the target, she was just a victim of terrible circumstances-- and that shit happens all too often.

I visited friends in the hood during my high school days and it wasn't all that bad IMO. Maybe because San Francisco hoods aren't as bad as others? I don't know

I mainly grew up in working class neighborhoods the past 30 years

It's possible. Some places described as hoods are still places people will drive through if they don't have to get out of the car. Everyone detours downtown Paterson if they can help it, here.

It's actually a good thing being able to walk to your car at night, take a walk at night and not have to worry about getting mugged or worse.

So no. I'd never by choice, live in a bad neighborhood.

If you mean somewhere with routine shootings, gang violence, and theft, I would avoid those areas. If I had to live there, I would want to be armed. If I was rich. I would have security.
