Considering Leaving LA for Texas or Florida

Tim muses about leaving Los Angeles for Texas or Florida, describing the LA lifestyle of young hot 20-somethings who move to Orange County and find a rich-people megachurch like Mosaic.
- Tim considers leaving LA, weighing Florida swamps and Texas as alternatives.
- New York neighborhoods like SoHo and Tribeca have fallen, but LA's decline feels terminal to him.
- The clubs are closed and LA has become a city designed for 20-year-old influencers, not 35-year-olds.
- By 30, the LA dream dissolves into a trajectory: money, hot wife, kids, Orange County church life.
- Mosaic Church in Orange County is essentially rich white people asking Jesus to keep them wealthy and improve their golf swings.
- Tim will never experience the authentic LA arc because he's not young and beautiful, so why stay.
- Texas and Florida both have no state income tax and represent viable alternative lives.
- The world shut down right after he moved to LA permanently and passed at the Comedy Store, changing everything.
- Networks won't give you good entertainment anymore; real comedy is behind paywalls on platforms like Patreon.
- A guy at DXL fat store revealed a feud between that location and another fat store in Beverly Hills over rejected inventory.
- All fat stores should stick together, but instead they have feuds and drama.
- What keeps Tim positive isn't avocado toast or running nine miles—it's watching gypsies get married in fields.
