      See the thing is it actually would! LA has built out their metro recently and naturally a house near a station increases in valiue. But the suburban brain can't understand that. Also it might bring minorities from Santa Ana

      Also they're so carbrained they don't want anyone around who can't afford a car

        Also they’re so carbrained they don’t want anyone around who can’t afford a car

        Whenever roadtripping, you know you've arrived in LA/OC because the highway expands from 2 lanes, into 4, then into 8 in each direction.

      Infrastructure means poors (aka people who have real jobs), which is why the only options to get from Sausalito to San Francisco are the Golden Gate Bridge and ferries.
