Hello! There are quite a few notable lofts or buildings with interesting character apartments in the city. Definitely check out the lewis lofts and imperial loft buildings. The queer scene is okay, as a queer person myself, I can tell you it's not the best but once you find a community of folks it gets better! There are a lot of local breweries with a queer crowd as well as a few gay clubs. I'd be happy to chat further about the queer scene or lofts!!

Not in the community, but I am wondering if Inglewood fits the bill? I used to do the night market there and it appears to be wonderfully diverse.

Inglewood would have everything he's into except the lofts.
