    Hmm. Atwater village/Los Felix/Glendale just made my shortlist of places to consider moving to. Pity they’re off subway though.

        If you can't get Atwater, LA, try the Atwater street neighborhood in Montreal, Canada which is also great

        can't beat that area for convenience otherwise. The Metro bikes are getting a lot more docks around here, so bike to Vermont red line is an increasing possibility

        I love @MyGlendale and though it is highly walkable and near good hikes, being off-transit and not allowing scooters/bike shares is up there on my list of its worst and most annoying qualities. Prime access to LA River Bike Trail is great however!https://twitter.com/starsandrobots/status/1183213882732531713?s=21 …

        Would also give low grade to pedestrian-friendliness despite walkability and prevalence of sidewalks: https://twitter.com/starsandrobots/status/1196148927742898176?s=21 …https://twitter.com/starsandrobots/status/1196148927742898176 …

        Safety for pedestrians in @MyGlendale can only be achieved by negotiation between individuals at each instance. Glendale: how should a pedestrian engage with a driver who is not inclined to make eye contact? Should drivers not too be so admonished? pic.twitter.com/X3YhHuKwpM

        We moved to Glendale because it had the most options and inventory for apartments. There's two bus lines that are reliabl for Silverlake/echo park/downtown, and it's a 10-15 minutes drive/rideshare to most of the other spots. Of the three Los Feliz was our favorite.

        Not the other two, but Los Feliz has a red line rail stop and great bus service
