LA moves live and die on access
The price of an LA move is set before a single box is lifted: which floor, which stairwell, which parking spot the truck can legally take. A third-floor walkout in Silver Lake with no elevator takes longer than a ground-floor condo in Playa Vista even with fewer rooms.
Permit parking districts complicate curb space, and building management companies increasingly require a certificate of insurance and a dock reservation before a truck rolls up. Booking labor that asks those questions in advance is the difference between a four-hour move and a lost day.
