I guess the thrust of the reason for my (late) participation here is: why are the posters only using some of the most expensive housing markets in LA for comparison purposes (or to drive home the notion that LA county is “unaffordable” or a “hellhole”).
Sure, if you won’t live in SD Co unless you can buy a SFR in Mission Hills (or in LA unless you can buy a SFR in Pasadena), then of course, BOTH counties would be “unaffordable” in your eyes.
If an LA Co resident works near the home that they own and occupy, how is that any worse than living in, say MM and “commuting” 10 minutes to CV every day (using this example for SD Co)?
What the h@ll is wrong with “regular” homes in “regular” neighborhoods in SoCal … you know, the ones which have large enough lots for your kids to actually run and play in?
Speaking of family-oriented communities, was anyone aware that West Covina (among nearby cities) has one of the largest (if not THE largest), most sophisticated little league stadium in the nation?
