    This doesn't help, this is part of the problem. Predatory developers buy up properties, lie to the tenants to push them out of their rent control telling them the building will be demolished. They then renovate, chop apartments into smaller units and/or add extra bedrooms to jack up prices and squeeze as much out of the space as possible, then flip the building, rinse and repeat. The city does nothing to stop these people. There's no penalty against them lying about demolition. They can't even protect the tenants from harassment when they stay and defend their rent control. Also average $2200 in Pasadena? BS, 1000sf apt in Hollywood $3800... These greedy developers and impotent governments will be the death of many Angelenos.

    I'm torn about these. I'm a minimalist and love tiny houses. I also lived in tiny one room apartments in Los Angeles for much of my adult life. But, the fact that people are being squeezed into more and more claustrophobic places due to insane housing prices is upsetting. I know that rents are high everywhere, but I would urge all of these people to move to more affordable states.

      I've made major moves in my life without jobs lined up (but sometimes with jobs lined up). Because I didn't have truckloads of cash to spend on moving, in most cases I moved with very little. My 2016 move to the Denver area was just what fit in my Honda Fit and a couple of extra boxes I shipped via FedEx ground. It CAN be done. People CAN change their lives. As much as I miss living in a major city like L.A., I know I can't afford to move back to Los Angeles. I need to stay in New Mexico or...where I really want to go, Savannah, GA. Most of my L.A. friends have had to leave CA due to costs and quality of life.@@boardingpassjunkie

But given free as needed. Volunteerism to maintenance and upkeep as a added option by residents with skills in professional maintenance like plumbing, electrician, etc etc then a fee supplement to up keep and care of facilities etc

      No, you should not be thankful. I could just as easily say you should be thankful to live in a car, peeing in a juice bottle because you could be living in a dumpster _in_ pee. There's always something worse and people should take a stand for a baseline standard of living. If that means leaving California (something I'm in the process of doing), then do it.

      Everything's a rental because we made abundant housing illegal decades ago. If sellers had to compete for the business of the general public, who prefer ownership, more would have to sell rather than rent. But because of limited supply, sellers can place any condition, like eye-popping rent instead of ownership, on people who have no alternatives.

    People complain about large houses being selfish, and then complain if builders make tiny living space situations. Basically the problem is the complainer being a failure who is self-entitled. Smart people move to where they can afford to live, not cry that they can't get a spot in a place where the majority of 8 billion people would kill to live there.
    By the way, most of these complainers and failures could change both those aspects with some sweat, discipline and persistence. I'm not trying to say these are bad people, I'm telling them to wake the f___ up. Life is hard for 99% of us out there. Toughen up and confront it.
