    I had forgotten Bel Air is part of LA.! Still, the people there probably can get more response from the city govt., for one reason or another.

    So basically Bel Air is more for an older/ introverted crowd while Beverly Hills is for more younger/ extroverted crowd? What type of crowd is in the Hollywood Hills area? Also, as far as diversity goes what suburban areas would you recommend that is more racially diverse for minority A Listers?

    • @357twilson
      @357twilson 3 роки тому +14

      As a native Los Angeles resident my whole life and a person who lives right outside of Beverly Hills, I would say Beverly Hills and Bel Air would both fall into the introverted crowd. The biggest reason being is both places require such large assets that typically older people have. On the contrary the Hollywood Hills is much more the younger crowd or “new money” crowd. Having a place in the Hollywood Hills is where I think most resident quote “want to be seen”. High end class Bel Air and Beverly Hills for sure. Young and flashy, the Hollywood Hills.

      The Hollywood Hills is the #1 spot for home burglaries and stalkers. Almost every single young A-lister has moved from there because of the numerous break-ins and weirdos hanging around in the bushes. Stay in Beverly Hills or Bel Air and just drive to the parties elsewhere. As far diversity, plenty of minorities live in both. It's not the 1950s.

    It’s not a fair comparison. As a resident of Beverly Hills, one gets far more for your property taxes. The city of BH has great leadership, responsive city employees, excellent police. Bel-Air is in Los Angeles. ‘Nuff said. Now, if you’re gonna let the Palisades join the group chat…

      We didn’t compare them. We contrasted them. Also, re what you mention: These are external variables to homeownership. Not as important to everyone. I know bc we’re with buyers all the time and “city employees” is not once been heard in a must-have list.

      The housing price of Los Angeles is a start from 1.5 millions.
      It isn't possible to have the dream which buys a house for a general person.
      High tax, the high cost of maintenance and eternal mortgage.
      I can't think there is a future in such town.
      The general public has begun to move to an other state, too, as many enterprises have left California.
