California's population dropped by 500,000 in two years as exodus continues

8. Good -- maybe the morning drive of less than 20 miles into DTLA will drop below 2 hours on the 405.

The 405 Frwy is the largest parking lot in LA County in the hours of 7 - 9 and 5 - 7. It fucking sucks!!!!! I flatly refuse to do work in-house in DTLA. The commute into LA IMO is the biggest reason for the hike in the cost of housing. If you do not live close by or if there is no public transportation, you are going to be in a car for 4 hours a day -- plus 8 in the office or at work. So, any residential property close to DTLA is going to go at a higher price.

The 10 Frwy is not much better and the 60 from the Inland Empire definitely sucks.

I get calls and emails every day to do legal work in DTLA (no remote option) and I flatly refuse. I got two calls like this within the last 24 hours. Most calls are from out of state recruiters and they do not understand why I will not drive into DTLA. I still do some legal on the side...but NEVER in DTLA. And...I get the response..."but it's only 25 miles away!"
