Ahmed Nashaat Asks: Is Los Angeles the City for You?

Travel blogger Ahmed Nashaat says that a huge part of Los Angeles' appeal is that it is one of the most iconic cities in the world. From entertainment to sports, L.A. and its surrounding areas have an air of glitz and glamor.

That said, is it advisable to buy real estate and actually live in this part of the world today? Ahmed Nashaat answers this by sharing his insights on some of the biggest pros and cons of investing and living in the City of Angels.

First, let's start with the good stuff.

Ahmed Nashaat mentions that the weather in L.A. is generally great year-round. It never gets too cold. Then, there's a plethora of job and business opportunities for people of all skill levels. While the cost of living may be too high for middle-class earners, the wages for many jobs in the area are also high.

Los Angeles is also a very culturally diverse city with plenty to offer residents and visitors alike, and it has a good number of the most famous tourist destinations in the world.

Now, time for the cons and the things that turn people away from living in Los Angeles.

While the salary of people is generally high in L.A., the cost of real estate is undoubtedly beyond middle-class earners' budget, and it continues to rise. As a result, the cost of living is relatively high. This is why many workers commute long distances due to a lack of local jobs.

Traffic is notoriously bad and can make getting around the city crazy difficult.

In conclusion, Ahmed Nashaat mentions that, like so many other high-profile places in the U.S., living in Los Angeles right now may no longer be practical. Instead, surrounding areas may present more viable and practical opportunities.
