southern Californians aren’t as into the virtue signaling yard signs as people in the DC area

Sherman Oaks?

You are in a very high-class part of Cali.

I would imagine that many people would just kill to live there.

It’s actually a very nice area. I used to live in the palisades and West Hollywood, but I love that there is always parking in the valley and people are normal. I’m not in the ‘rich’ part or the ‘area for the poors’, but the in between place where people are welcoming and there are lots of immigrants (like me).

Dude. A lot of people live in the valley, even including celebrities, athletes, coaches and scores of hard working people who work in entertainment. I assure you that most people on DCUM would also live in the Valley if they lived in LA.

The Valley isn’t “LA”. Especially Van Nuys and Sherman Oaks. LA is Hollywood, the Hills, Beverly Hills, the beach, even downtown. The Valley is a different culture and class.

Snort. Maybe if you’re a 13 year old living in Ohio and you only know of LA from what you see on TV…

Omg, all of these DMV people opining on LA is….”lol”

OF COURSE Sherman Oaks is part of the City of Los Angeles. Do you live under a bridge?! Do you know what’s NOT Los Angeles? Beverly Hills. West Hollywood. Santa Monica .
Sherman Oaks is 💯 LA.
And it’s not exactly a shit box. It’s a fairly nice area. Most people here could not afford a home in Sherman Oaks. Yes, it’s hot in the summer.

You’re being to literal, PP, and calm down. Of course Sherman Oaks is in the city of Los Angeles. We’re saying it’s not quintessential Los Angeles.

And I do live in LA and not DC. And no one uses “lol” anymore (at least not in LA - maybe they do in the Valley).

You are what gives people on the Westside a bad name. If you think “quintessential” LA is pacific palisades or Brentwood then…you really don’t know LA as well as you think.

The pandemic is over Amy. Time to unwrap your face and crawl out of the basement. Wearing a mask now means you don’t trust Joe and deny the science. Is that what you want people to think of you?


OP- it’s cooler on the LA-side of the mountain. The ocean breezes usually keep it about 10-20 degrees cooler than in the SF valley.

Apparently no one told OP that Southern California is in the midst of a very serious drought.

Oh, OP. Sherman Oaks isn’t even Los Angeles much less Southern California.

news to me! I used to live in Sherman Oaks. I guess sending my tax $$ to city of Los Angeles, sending my kids to LAUSD, voting for the LA mayor and city council...that was all just a figment of my imagination, huh.

The PP doesn’t even think you’re in Southern California, so I wouldn’t really take what they say about any of California with any merit.

NP here from the Westside, but used to live in Arlington. Just want to comment on the OP, that the lack of police presence here is actually a problem. We have to hire private protection. We have a huge homeless issue due to the weather and a lot of services for homeless that attract homeless from out of state, and they keep setting fires. People who are running from the cops infiltrate there, and gangs come in and charge them for "protection." All is financed by theft.

There is a recall campaign for our councilman, Mike Bonin, who wants to put homeless pods on the beach (among all other drug, theft, and violence-related problems, the beach is the only place where the public goes barefoot, and my DD stepped on a needle a few months back. A month or so ago, there was a cleanup in a local park that had turned into a homeless encampment, and they found 30 pounds of needles. I can't remember the numbers on the human waste, but it was like, tons.

Anyways I miss the police and military presence of Arlington and DC, and I liked how VA was purple because it keeps the politicians from getting complacent.

I agree. I’m from DC but moved to LA years ago, and wish LA was “purple” as well. I personally am a Democrat, but not the type of Democrat that makes excuses for inept politicians or homeless encampments or filth and crime.

As for police presence, I agree. I chuckled at OP’s observations about freeway drivers. As much as people are giving OP a hard time, I actually thought he/she was accurate.

People like that are EXACTLY why I moved from the palisades to Sherman oaks. I didn’t want my kids being raised around people like that. So entitled and gross.

Hahah Hahahahahaha I love that you’re getting homeless pods!!! Do you think they all belong in the valley? I’m sure you do!!! I chortled with glee when there was talk about the tiny villages we have to deal with in the vary going to Venice and the palisades. Seems fair to me!

Weirdest thread I've read here - I grew up East of DTLA, lived in Los Feliz for years, lived in Westwood for years and now live in the valley (for years).

1. The valley IS Los Angeles
2. People who visit here for a week don't know their ass from their elbow
3. People who live here and fight about who's neighborhood is better or more LA… I question if you are actually born and raised here
4. The only sign I've ever put in my front yard was a *gasp* 6th grade graduation sign that DC's school sent to all of the kids this time last year

Yeah it's dry here, welcome to obvious-ville. We have droughts and fires in the summer and mudslides (IF it rains - this last winter it rained for maybe a week combined when the world first shut down and that was it) in the winter. I'll take it over living anywhere else in the world, I love my home.

Don't be dumb, our beaches are getaways for everyone in the Valley too. I don't think homeless "belong" in the Valley. I don't care if they are on the Westside; I DO care if they are at the beach. WTF are we doing living in this mismanaged expensive congested city if not for access to the beach?

Homes are more spread out. As you said, but didn’t recognize, look at the masks. That’s their “virtue signaling”. That and every stupid diet under the sun. They also own less, and on the whole, SoCal is politically inactive (minus Hollywood) than NorCal.

Bonin is an idiot. Please vote to recall him if you are in his district. We would love to but moved from Playa del Rey years ago and hate what he’s dne there.
