Pacific Palisades is like a universe outside LA, leafier than the rest of the Westside without being as far out as Malibu. Pacific Palisades is a COMMUNITY, people know their neighbors.

He has a Beverly Hills Zip Code, but lives outside Beverly Hills proper, which meant that when he called 911 it was the L.A.P.D. that responded. Factor says he started calling the L.A.P.D. at about 1:30 a.m. He called a second time, then a third. The police finally came, he says, at about six a.m.<BR/>The L.A.P.D. is stretched so thin that only one squad car is assigned to respond to low-priority residential burglary calls for the entire 64-square-mile area that encompasses its beat of West L.A."<BR/><BR/>http://www.vanityfair.com/culture/features/2005/02/robberies200502Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7179311615101890268.post-71493619719075580552008-03-19T17:57:00.000-07:002008-03-19T17:57:00.000-07:00He was thinking of me and him in the hot tub and n...He was thinking of me and him in the hot tub and nothing else mattered.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7179311615101890268.post-72054905529571481912008-03-19T17:18:00.000-07:002008-03-19T17:18:00.000-07:00Crab away; I concur.

Probably not. Why must you feel compelled to point out the zip code?<BR/><BR/>Interesting sidebar. Santa Monica canyon is a very nice area of Santa Monica that one would call SMPO. Shares 90402 with No. of Montana folks, but is considered city of LA for all other services. Their school, Canyon School, is one of the best public schools on the west side and people move mountains to get their kids in there.

Place names and zip codes don't really matter to locals. It's the <I>street</I> you're on, and sometimes the <I>block</I>, that really impresses. I'd much rather be on N Beverly Dr (BHPO) than around the corner on that expressway called Coldwater Canyon (City of Beverly Hills for many blocks), where houses sell for similar prices. Plenty of Beverly Hills proper can be had for the same money as plenty of BHPO. So it's time to retire this meme that BHPO is for strivers. (And no I'm not a BHPO resident getting defensive -- I just think it's stupid.)<BR/><BR/>If someone does buy in BHPO (instead of, say, Beverly Glen) with the express purpose of impressing people with a zip code, it's only going to work on friends and family back in Missouri or wherever. But locals know the difference between N Oakhurst (City) and Beverly Park (BHPO).pchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09283315335849825659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7179311615101890268.post-49102312402499582352008-03-19T12:57:00.000-07:002008-03-19T12:57:00.000-07:00I agree with Lucy.
