I'm in Los Angeles and a potential spot might have fallen through for a long-term situation.
That means looking for a new building but I'm somewhat lost as to how that can be done. The last place I completely lucked into, it was a fluke that I don't expect to see again. LA has some rather strict standards about what buildings can and cannot look like and will actually send crews to a building to do cosmetic repairs if a building starts looking run-down. They also pounce pretty quickly on abandoned property and sell it off once they find it.
Code Enforcement doesn't have a public list of blight cited buildings and most of the public lists of places that are abandoned are highly trafficked, tourist-y spots or so destroyed as to be unlivable.
I feel a little stuck. Relocation is out for at least several years (my partners want to finish their education before they leave) and I don't earn enough to save for a move.
So, how can I go about finding another place?
