[lbo-talk] Renters priced out of L.A.

[Steven L. Robinson]

That, and more comprehensive public mass transit.  In the 80s and 90s folks moved out to places like Lancaster, Victorville, Moreno Valley etc to BUY housing.  I suppose one can rationalize 3-4 hour total daily commute if you see yourself as a homeowner.  But in the underlying story, the person is renting and still stuck with that massive commute.  I imagine the rise in gas prices is really hurting such long distance commuters. SR
