Transportation
Up to now, very few of our buyers thought of giving up their cars to commute to work but with the Metro under their building, getting a ride to Korea Town, China Town, Universal City, Hollywood, Pasadena, and Long Beach Harbor for $1.25 sounds really appealing: no more driving in peak hours, no more worrying about drinking and driving, and no more parking issues.
And, how about the Metro link system to spend a weekend in Santa Barbara, San Diego or even San Francisco. It just keeps getting better. You could be reading the paper or a book while others are wearing out their brakes.
But after all, you’re probably buying here because you want to walk to work and walk to dinner, bars, dancing, movies, sports, or the arts. Now we’re comparing the cost of shoes to the cost of tires. No contest.
One buyer figured the savings of living where they worked and walking to entertainment would lower the cost of car insurance plus wear and tear, save them hours a week and add years to their lives. Not a bad deal.
