How Long Should my Class C Be?
I live in LA and have been thinking it would be good to find an RV 19 feet (or under) so I can park in a regulation parking spot. That being said, I CAN park on my block even if it's a little long...

As the OP is considering a 19ft or SLIGHTLY longer RV, I think they are looking at 24ft or under, not 28ft or longer.
Between a 19, 21/22, and 24, you probably won't see much difference EXCEPT that a 19 is most likely going to be a van conversion and will be narrower (so that it fits in tighter parking lots).
A 21/22ft will pretty much fit lengthwise in most parking lots but you may have to have the end overhang over bushes, etc. so it doesn't stick out. A 24ft will need to do that more often and/or use 2 spots end to end.
Both the 21/22ft and the 24ft will likely be the same width (about 7ft). This will fit in "normal" parking spots, but many parking lots scrunch the width of spots really tight and you may have to use 2 spots side by side.
You don't indicate how you are planning on using the RV. Are you planning on going to big cities for sightseeing? Camping out in the woods with the ability to use the RV as a 2nd vehicle or stop by the store on the way out to the campground to get supplies? Months at a time? Weekends here and there? 1 to 2 weeks at a time?
How you plan on using it could help folks to provide more information about pros and cons of the various lengths of smaller RVs that are applicable for your circumstances.
