I was curious about applying for a job up there, but decided against it. The position was near the NBC Universal building, just north of Hollywood (I guess), I am not sure what area that is called. It seemed like parlaying my skills to enter into the Entertainment industry wouldn’t be a bad idea so it still bugs me a bit.
In any case having a couple of kids who like to go outside and throw a ball around, it seemed like a rough area to try and move to. I hadn’t considered these South Bay areas mentioned. I tend to prefer stale white dominated areas for school district purposes. Yes I know it’s boring, but it seems to do us well.
Sounds like from here there are some areas. It looks like when you get east of Hollywood, the demographics really change. I have mixed feelings about hispanic dominated areas. If you cruise around Bonita you see people out jogging, park activities, basically great neighborhood activities. However the whole gang thing up there makes me want to avoid these areas so I was looking at rentals around burbank and didn’t see a whole lot that makes me want to leave San Diego.
