You realize it takes close to an hour to cross Irvine at rush hour? That the 405 and 5 southbound traffic out of southbay and east LA is heavier than the traffic going into LA?
A job in downtown LA will take me about an hour to commute to. A job in the UCI/Newport area will take close to the same. One iis easily less than half the distance of the other.
Apparently the trivial solution is to sell my hell suburban place and move to Corona del Mar or Westside. Although coworkers from the west side have told me plenty of horror stories about taking an hour to get five miles. CDM is great, takes a half an hour to get out of it though so hopefully I work in about a three mile radius.
But let’s not let the reality of 18 million people wanting lives intrude on our anti development rants.
