There's a reason why those houses are cheap. Commuting from the Inland Empire to Los Angeles is miserable. It's an hour if there's no traffic, which of course is never the case in Southern California.
- jimmaswell 8y agoWe need some way to incentivize companies to spread out more instead of overstuffing these same places more and more.
- Ericson2314 8y agoNo cities are far more efficient (engery, economically, culturally...). Suburbs are massively subsized miserable alienation farms that only appear cheaper.
- jimmaswell 8y agoThere are more cities out there than what you find around SV, and there are middle grounds between super-dense and rural.
- burfog 8y agoThe problem may have been created by our norm becoming the 2-income household. Previously, one would simply move to the location of a suitable job. Now, the pair of people must find a pair of suitable jobs. It is easy to find a small city with a job for one person, but not easy to find a small city with a pair of jobs that might be wildly unrelated. For example, one person is a petroleum engineer and the other person is an avionics repair technician. Finding one job or the other in a small city is easy. Finding both in the same small city is hard.
