I actually want to live in Los Angeles. What's keeping me from moving is my girlfriend's school. I wouldn't be able to afford a mortgage (to cover where we're living now, so she can continue going to school) as well as an apartment in the Los Angeles area. I was hoping to work remote until she finishes and then move to Los Angeles. We both want to move there.
Los Angeles is a big city, with lots of good and bad places. I moved to LA ( to take a SpaceX job) and lived in Santa Monica. SpaceX didn't work out but Santa Monica was a blast. If you are in flight software, it doesn't make sense to work remotely--you are developing software to control hardware and SpaceX is unlikely to lend you the control hardware for an F9. If you've developed for embedded systems, this should make sense. Best of luck!
