There is a lot of missing information in these numbers. LA County has approximately 10 million…Read More people in it. They say people have access to 2.5 million jobs but do not mention how many people are vying for those jobs. It also, of course, does not mention the relative education and training of the residents versus the requirements and compensation packages of the jobs. I spent nearly a year looking for a middle-management job and finally found one 45 minutes away. In this town, that is a short commute.

Not only is the answer "no", it's "hell, no". "Accessability to jobs?"…Read More By spending hours in personal vehicles? The absolute lousiest public transportation for a city of this population? What were they smoking before they crunched the numbers? Is there some spreadsheet error we don't yet know about? Are they confusing apples with oranges? Sheesh! I used to take Metrolink when I worked, but I wouldn't exactly call it convenient nor inexpensive. Short trip to the train station, but.......and no, my employer did not kick in any $ like so many others did. That's life.

This study suffers from a classic error. It assumes that access translates into a job--which is…Read More often not the case. Because of high housing costs, many Angelinos can not afford to move and thus select long commutes over moving to a higher rent/ purchasing a new home nearer the job. There is also a second self selection re commutes-- individuals will stay with a job close by, even if it means giving up raises or advancement to avoid excessive commutes or finding new housing.

He was my world history teacher, and my chaperone on an 8th grade trip to DC. Never would have…Read More thought.

I work in the building near where it happened. I was told 2 cars were racing. This one hit the…Read More pole and the other car fled the scene. The lane markings are fine, its just a curvey area people go through too fast.

Bless this sweet boy's soul and may he journey with us and show himself to us when we need his love.

Did you see the pictures? It's huge! I shouldn't have, but I did the math: 14 of my home could fit…Read More inside his one! Now I don't know whether to laugh or cry!

Question is can they dig a tunnel to place the city counsel??
Sean McCarthy May 10, 2013 at 12:14 pm
I'm glad someone at the top finally recognizes that we need new roads now. Tunnels eliminate the…Read More NIMBY problem except where they descend and ascend. The Valley needs relief from the decades of neglected local roadways. Give us back our family time. Give us back our free time. Give us back our waking hours. If Los Angeles will reach its potential its leaders must recognize what needs to be done and then do it. NOW, NOW, NOW is the time!

You forgot to mention that U.C.L.A. / Reagan got a "D". Talk about a black eye.
