    @triodug Something we learned in #Los_Angeles: if you have a good-sized market and refuse to pay for a stadium / arena, the teams will come back after several years and pay for it themselves.

    It was striking to see the #NFL #Rams walk away from a free stadium and rabid fan base to return to Los Angeles and pay for their own stadium.

    Study: #Los_Angeles area rents rose an average of 65% in 10 years, vs 36% nationwide. https://nu.federati.net/url/254345 [abc7 . com]

    And that, my friends, is why this is not such a great place to live any more. The golden state #California is corroding faster than an imported wedding ring.

    Another reason homeownership is sliding for those who don't already own real estate: the price is rising at many times the inflation rate. One guy I worked with in #Sacramento told me he lives in a major city near the agency's regional office, and that renting apartments (not buying / becoming an owner, renting!) in that relatively high crime area costs around $4,000 per month. In my former #Los_Angeles County area in #SoCal, the homes I lived in when I was growing up (less than 1,200 square feet, with a tiny yard, built in the 1950s) are all showing a value of $500K or more on RedFin.

    That's price growth of 10X or more within my lifetime.

    I don't know whether I agree with everything that City Observatory says, but this one is spot on: http://cityobservatory.org/transportation_housing_affordability/ It isn't possible to judge housing's affordability unless transportation (commuting) costs are considered.

    If you live in #Las_Vegas, but work in Los Angeles, either you spend more time getting to and from work than you spend at home, or you'll get a small place somewhere much closer, so you can stay during the week and just go home on weekends. Either way, you should include those costs in your affordability figures, because you may find that you didn't really save money versus living in #Los_Angeles County. (I used a #SoCal example, but you can switch to other areas and see the same situation.)

    When I was in high school, there was a college student that got off the bus near where I lived. She gradually changed from a somewhat overweight person who didn't quite fit in, becoming a person that wore army boots and an army jacket and talked about all the groups of people that would be killed "after the revolution". I just remembered her and I find myself wondering if she's still in that part of greater #Los_Angeles and still waiting for the revolution.

    USA Today: The #Chargers Were Always An Awful Fit for #Los_Angeles https://nu.federati.net/url/251310 [usatoday\.com]

    I mostly agree. The Chargers should have stayed in #San_Diego, where they had a loyal and enthusiastic fan base. They and the #NFL erred in moving them 100 miles North.

    (I personally care not for the #Rams, either. They left !SoCal for #St_Louis, #MO, and should have stayed there.)

    LOL. One of my brothers was in #Los_Angeles this weekend. I did not even know because I had not checked my SMS messages until someone (unknown number* to me) just replied to his series of group texts. That's the "keeps in touch with everyone" brother, so I need to pay more attention. Only a few more years until the 50th year high school reunion, and he's likely to be the one that informs me about it.

    * Anyone that did not get in touch after my phone suddenly died three years ago is now unknown, as I don't use any kind of contacts sync service.

    Talking with a co-worker about the area in #Los_Angeles County where I grew up, the malls where my friends and I hung out, the high schools I attended, the level of perceived safety. All because she has relatives that grew up in the same general area a few years after me.

    @kai I think you should move to #SoCal. You've been really unhappy in #Buffalo, #NY, for several years. You'll never know whether a move to the #Los_Angeles area will improve your life unless you follow Uncle Jed to California.
    .
    Give it a decade. If you decide it isn't for you, you can move back to NYState with some different experiences and hopefully better financial resources.

    The #Los_Angeles South Bay is a little humid compared to the more desert-y part of !SoCal where I live, but subtracts 20-30F from the peak temperatures, so it isn’t unpleasant, just different.

    @kai I haven't lived in the #Los_Angeles metro since the 1980s, but in most areas there was one locally-owned pizzaria that was head and shoulders above the national chains. This still seems to be true in other parts of #SoCal.
    .
    OTOH, I tried #pizza in Northern #NJ (Middlesex County / Somerset County area) and did not like it, so my opinion may not count for much.
