I'm encouraged by what can be accomplished when neighbors work together. Cleaner streets, better housing, influencing decisions that affect the entire city. A great group of people with whom to work.

I would describe the West End as a “Victorian Sesame Street.” It's a great diverse community with beautiful historic architecture, and there's plenty to learn from the warm and fuzzy people that live and work there.

I grew up in Los Angeles and I don't drive. I love being able to live in a neighborhood where I can walk to the grocery store, a yoga studio, a bookstore, to meet friends, and several amazing restaurants and bars.
