Have you considered Santa Barbara? Laid back, active, safe, but still close enough to LA to stay connected with your networks there. Thanks to the university here, tons of cultural events and arts you wouldn't expect in a small town

Fun UC parking policy fact: At Berkeley, the only way to get assigned parking is if you win a Nobel Prize.

UCLA is not turning a profit from giving out citations. Staff and maintenance are expensive, and what's left goes toward sustainable transportation programs like subsidizing bus tickets.

UC Parking employees have to follow ticketing policy and can't just believe every note they see on a windshield. That's what the simple appeals process described on the ticket is for. Take the ticket, then appeal.
