Thinking about moving to Los Angeles? Here is something you can expect … very high gas prices..
Background & Context
LA has always been the city of dreams, but man, those dreams come with a hefty price tag. After spending over 30 years in the music and radio industry, I’ve seen the good, the bad, and the ugly of Los Angeles. And let me tell you, the gas prices? They’re definitely on the ugly side. The cost of living in this city is sky-high, and the gas prices reflect that. It’s a constant reminder that the glitz and glamour of LA come with a cost. But don’t let that scare you away. LA is still the city where dreams come true. Just be prepared to pay for it at the pump.
