Palmdale is ridiculously far from Downtown LA. It will take you at least 2 hours to get to Downtown from Palmdale because of traffic. You can forget about public transportation here too because it is too spread out and there are few connections that will take you to downtown from Palmdale. It’ll probably take you 6 hours if you use public transportation.
you clearly have no clue what California is like .
or how big or diverse….
you need to rent,
till you have a clue what you are doing.
by the way the real estate market is crashing out here
