Southern California was built on the sale of sunlit homes in affordable real manor developments. Just the many building booms of the by century haven't been enough. In simply the by 15 years, Los Angeles has added 230,000 new residents, only simply 40,000 new homes. The median cost of a home in L.A. has doubled in the last five years. Rent climbs e'er upward. That's led to a edifice smash that is utterly transforming Los Angeles. Suburban sprawl now covers all the land within reasonable commuting distance of the job centers, so L.A. is growing up instead of out. Cranes belfry over skyscrapers in neighborhoods of single-story family homes. Small stucco houses in middle-class neighborhoods are priced over $1 million and once-neglected neighborhoods are chop-chop gentrifying. See Cesar Vega, whose bungalow in Hollywood is surrounded on three sides by enormous new apartment buildings. As Los Angeles becomes denser and more urban, Cesar feels like a stranger in his hometown. "I don't see myself in a lot of the things that are happening," he says. Most of the new apartments volition rent for market rate — these days, that'southward $2,500 for a two-bedroom apartment. If in that location's a housing shortage in L.A. and lots of new housing is being built, shouldn't prices exist dropping? Why aren't they? Cesar Vega owns this pocket-sized Hollywood dwelling house as cranes rise around him. "A lot of the people I grew up with aren't here anymore, let alone the buildings that everyone used to live in and the homes that they use to live which have been bulldozed." –Cesar Vega.
