Your first week in Los Angeles
Once your household goods arrive, focus on: setting up LADWP (electric/water — same utility in LA), SoCalGas, and internet. Update your CA driver's license within 10 days of establishing residency (California law). Find your local grocery stores, urgent care, and pharmacy.
The biggest adjustments for Austin transplants to LA are usually traffic (worse than most cities but more predictable than people fear), the housing cost shock, and learning neighborhood geography. Give yourself 3–6 months to feel at home.
