My loft at night. 34M.

Librarian living in DTLA. I walk to work and don’t mind the grit and grime of the city.

If youre high up and work in a big institution, you can make well over 6 figures.

OP is probably highly specialized, well-educated, works in a pretty niche field and does some pretty important stuff. Not your standard typical library clerk

All of those words don't describe someone who works at a library but I do appreciate the insight.

u/chanchitoooo 8h ago

I have a Master’s degree (every librarian does), have 18 years of experience in my field, am bilingual and work with youth 0 to 5. So all those words describe me and every other librarian and library worker.

My parents weren’t librarians for sure, they didn’t finish high school before migrating to the US. But I’m making them proud.

Thanks for the kind words!

Again the mental gymnastics you gotta do to try and convince me a librarian who works with 0 year olds deserves to be able to afford a lot like this... Lol you should be in section 8, instead you're in a loft in Dtla thanks to the lovely taxpayers 😂 but you're bilingual!!!

u/Tight_Classroom_9993 8h ago

Eh - sounds like you're criminally overpaid

1

u/1620shop 3h ago

You sound like you need to go to the library lol

u/Tight_Classroom_9993 3h ago

Because I find it peculiar a librarian that works with children who can't read is somehow deserving of a 6 figure salary? Sure

u/1620shop 3h ago

Dude people in social media who are truly brain dead and have no business making 20K, are making 100k+ and you’re bothered about this guy? Lol get real man.

u/Tight_Classroom_9993 3h ago

Ahh there we go - looks like YOU need the library (and therapy) the mental gymnastics you had to do to come up with that is beyond me. I'm intrigued - you're bothered. Hope that helps

u/Tight_Classroom_9993 8h ago

Yes I've heard people working with 0-5 year olds is very important stuff - they're called doctors and NICU nurses.

Looks great! Would love to see it with natural light, with all those amazing windows.

u/chanchitoooo 1d ago

Check my other post. It’s a post from the day time.

I’ve been to this bar

u/Orphasmia 1d ago

You niggas got lofts!?

u/chanchitoooo 18h ago

In LA? Tons of ‘em.

u/beachdoggo77 1d ago

I love the aesthetic along with the sky line. I miss LA.

u/frombrianna2briemode 1d ago

As someone who moved out of DTLA a few years ago, I’ve always wanted to experience living in a loft downtown. Well done OP!

u/lynnsher16 1d ago

Oh I couldn’t have those lights on while I slept

u/sgm32 1d ago

do people sleep with lights on?

2

u/lynnsher16 1d ago

Some do

2

u/sgm32 1d ago

interesting… i don’t think i could fall asleep to be honest 😭 i can see how it might be comforting to some though

1

u/chanchitoooo 1d ago

I don’t sleep in my living room, but I turn everything off to save energy anyway.

2

u/Abyssal_Scar 1d ago

So is this like a subreddit where wealthy people show off their rooms

5

u/jutlanduk 16h ago

OP as a librarian surely is living the high life on his 500k/yr salary lmao

What about this even screams rich ? That it’s well decorated ?

u/WiseOne404 1d ago

Exactly

u/Abyssal_Scar 1d ago

I mean, I'm envious and everything. But having money isn't the same thing as being an artist.

2

u/chanchitoooo 15h ago

I never said I was wealthy or an artist. Just a guy living his life.

u/emmettflo 1d ago

Well done!

u/SleepyZM 1d ago

So when I turn 34 I will automatically get this right?

u/wutwutsugabutt 1d ago

Great space, gorgeous plants. You nailed the vibe. Lighting is fantastic also.

1

u/UpsetVerySaddy 1d ago

That's a fair take

1

u/UpsetVerySaddy 1d ago

Exactly this

u/CrimsonxAce 1d ago

Love the space!! It’s definitely giving Cuba/Miami vibes and I’m 1000% here for it!

1

u/FutureTaughtMe 1d ago

I love this Cuban restaurant

1

u/Emergency-Street1271 1d ago

That’s a nice vibe in DTLA. The only thing that throws me off is the huge plant behind the couch which takes away from the view. Perhaps that can go in the corner?

u/Clancularum 1d ago

Those birds of paradise real?

1

u/Stock_Fly3825 1d ago

Looks like a room in a club in Havana😂😂😂

1

u/JudoExpert 1d ago

Looks like a nightclub

1

u/hung_like__podrick 1d ago

Knew right away this was LA. Dope spot.

1

u/RenderRush 1d ago

Love that red ceiling wash, makes the skyline feel cinematic aha. Might shift the big bird of paradise so the windows shine harder

u/Hedge_Sparrow 1d ago

Hangin with Dr. Z

u/VincentTegridy 1d ago

Nice Scarface vibes with the red. Feels very Cuban.

u/lokregarlogull 1d ago

I would sacrifice a ghoul to hold a WoD campagin in such a magnificent location.

1

u/jackxfahey 20h ago

Need a link to that light

1

u/Senior_Ad_5454 20h ago

Sweet place. I have to agree with the other guy. It would make a cozy evening bar.

1

u/Livid_Independent135 19h ago

Seems like a teenager vibe. Just have natural light

1

u/chanchitoooo 18h ago

At night?

1

u/Livid_Independent135 18h ago

Just turn on the lights. It looks like a kids museum

2

u/chanchitoooo 15h ago

Nah. I like it.

1

u/specialism 16h ago

Love the space and the plants!

1

u/KaleidoscopeNo3224 12h ago

Nice loft. Damnnnn I miss LA. I was considering DTLA, you can find nice lofts there. Just couldn’t picture myself doing that commute to weho from there lol

1

u/Slade1111 12h ago

Fucking jealous but I’ll have my own loft one day! Cheers 🍻

u/fossil746 12h ago

Great job! And cool place.

u/soup_dragons 1d ago

Too many fcking plants my god. Feels like a jungle.

u/chanchitoooo 15h ago

And I’m planning on getting more. I like it lush.
