Good side hustles in LA?

Hey y’all, I’ve got some debt I need to pay off.

I’ve got a 9-5 job, but thinking I need to add something on the weekend. I’ll flip burgers at McDonald’s if I have to, and my car isn’t new enough to be an Uber driver. Just curious if anyone has a hot take on good side hustles in this crazy city?

Thanks!

Hidden gem cities in Socal to live?

Hi everybody,

I am exploring the option to move back to the southern CA area. I lived in the San Fernando Valley (Northridge) for a short period of time in my late teen years and did not really enjoy it. Currently in AZ and have been thinking of moving back towards the socal area.

What cities/areas do you guys currently live in that you love? it can be anywhere in the socal area, seeking a place with a good active nightlife when needed, not to far from hiking trails, and somewhere not to hustle and bustle for daily living. Preferably, I would like to be within an hour drive to either SD or LA.

A little about me, mid twenties working in the tech field. Occasionally like going out on the weekends, hiking, trying different breweries, wineries, and restaurants. Would like somewhere were the demographics lean towards the younger crowd and LGBT friendly. :)

Short term sublease in PB

Subleasing my entire place in Pb for ~3-4 weeks in December!

I am going home for the holidays and will be renting out my fully furnished, spacious, 1bd/1bath (entire place) while away.

I will be going home probably the second week of December (in 2weeks) til the 2nd ish week of Jan (no dates set in stone yet & im flexible)

The place is beautiful, very clean, laundry on site, street parking but it’s always easy to find a spot

I’m looking for someone clean, respectful, and mature as this is my home <3 (no pets or couples)

If you’re interested/want info on pricing, dm me!

Huntington Beach Ford and Manager Omar Zeola (Omid Ziaolagh) Under Fire: Former Service Manager Exposes Alleged "Five-Star Review" Scheme

I recently visited Huntington Beach Ford to learn more about the available rebates from Ford. After finding a truck that interested me, we went through a thorough negotiation on the monthly payment, which was quite an enlightening experience.

However, I was surprised when the salesperson mentioned that my wife and I needed to leave a five-star review on Google or Yelp before we could proceed with financing, with the promise that they would verify it afterward. While I appreciate the importance of positive feedback for businesses, I believe it would enhance the customer experience to avoid tying reviews to the financing process.

Our review under the name Cameron B reflects our experience. I also discovered that the dealership is currently facing legal issues regarding rebates. We reached out to Ford to share our experience, and I hope this situation is resolved for everyone involved. Overall, I believe a more straightforward approach would greatly benefit future customers.

Can you get to LA from OC without a car?

I’ll be visiting SoCal and the West Coast for the first time next month. I’ve noticed in Miami (The only other American city I’ve been too) there was a steep drop in public transportation quality when you left the city limits and the urban core. If this also the case in the LA metro I will be staying with my partners family in Irvine, how practical is it to go down to LA without a car from there?

Where the girlies at?

Heyyyy guys! I’m not 100% sure where to post this but I figured I’d give this a shot. I (19F) am trying to find fellow women who ride motorcycles. I have been riding for some months now. My boyfriend and his buddies all ride, however I never really feel like part of the group. They are all super kind and I enjoy riding with them, but I’d really like to find a fellow girl who enjoys riding as much as I do.

Anyways… I am located in the socal area, does anybody know places to meet people who ride? Any girlies out there just looking for a nice little ride and a good time?
