I've lived in L..A. since the age of 5 and I can honestly tell you can literally see the income inequality every single day. Other than the weather I don't know why anyone would want to move out here. In addition to the high rents, there's the high price of gas and even higher taxes. It's a truly sad state of affairs. One that I would never think I would see in my lifetime. Thousands of people are being forced out of their homes and into their cars. There is no middle class in this city. In San Francisco, people who work in the city have been forced out because of high rents and now have to commute into the city which can take up 2-4 hours. Can you imagine that? Being forced out of your apartment and you now have to commute 4 hours to a job that probably would have taken you 30-40 minutes because you can no longer afford to live there.

@asafaust6774 4 года назад

The problem with living with relatives are many. Different Generations like lots of company. They like to smoke and drink and they keep up too much noise. Sometimes relatives don't clean up behind themselves. It's just so much simpler and quieter to have your own place.

@margaretwilson8736 4 года назад

I have a great relationship with my parents and they can always live with me if they need to. I lived with them for a while. The roles can reverse! Lol

@txspacemom765 4 года назад

My parents passed away within 18 months of each other. My brother coerced my father into redoing his will, after my mom passed, while he was grieving and sick with cancer, to give him full control of the assets. I received nothing. That is fine because my brother and sister will get their karma. Point is, they are greedy and wouldn't help me if I was on the road, dying. And I have done nothing wrong. Family can change quickly when money and being humble is involved.
