Interestingly, I’ve never had any desire to live in Marina Del Rey either. It seems that there used to be much more to do there in the ’80s (at least in my limited POV of those days), but not really now. But I don’t really know anyone who has lived or currently lives there.
I’ve actually been more of an “urban” type than a South Bay dweller with most of my adult life having been spent in L.A. proper (9 years) and West Hollywood (6 years). But parenthood changes perspective, and I’m all about a good school district now (if I can afford it).
