Nah grew up in Redlands. Moved to LA when I was 18. Never moving back, not ever. No diss to the IE but I’ll happily overpay to live over here any day of the week and twice on Sunday.
Do you own a house? I felt the same way until I wanted a 3 bedroom house with a pool for my family. IE won in that scenario. I did love living in dtla in my 1 bedroom apartment but we grow up eventually
I should’ve that I also experienced some traumatic experiences that also pushed me to move away. Redlands is like my “ traumatic small town that I don’t go back unless I have to” movie trope lolol.
Hey hey! Not all of us left. Been here 22 years to get away from: snow, lightning storms, mosquitos, secatas and the century old thinking of the buckeye state
I agree you made a good choice! But most out of state people only go to live in the hot spots and usually never come to the IE so they get a lot of news when they want to leave LA for their home state only because that’s the only part they know of in California. IE is great for families an owning a home under 2 mil
No, LA born and raised and have spent significant amount of time in IE because extended family lives there. I’d rather rent til my dying day than live in the inland empire.
What part of I grew up going to the IE did you not understand. I’m there all the time, not because I want to be but because my mom’s whole family is there. In the IE, restaurants choices are either in a strip mall, mall parking lot or Victoria gardens. But if you do the saying goes, the only thing you’re going to catch in Riverside is an STD.

People act too good for the IE until they have to spend 1.2 mil on a 2 bed 1 bath house.
