    rent and property values have skyrocketed in the last 3 years here in los angeles (i am not sure about ventura). the problem is that employers have failed to keep up with housing prices. when i moved here from nyc 5 years ago, the average 1 bedroom was $600, now it $900-$1000. the average entry level position (general) is about $9-$11 hour. i know, my girl has been looking for work the last month. i have a friend who works for a small design studio here in burbank and she makes $32,000 year. then you need a car if you dont have one. are you still paying? insurance? gas? food? by the time you finish with all your payments, your broke. where upstate ny are you? i grew up in rochester.
