This is depressing.

I second ↑ statement

None of them are worth that much. I wouldn’t pay more than $800 for any of these. The housing pricing in the SoCal area has gotten way out of control once again. I feel for the young kids getting their 1st apartment today. It’s really tough. No wonder they are staying with their parents longer. I don’t blame them.

If you’re a property owner, please advocate for development across the city. Don’t be like the others.

In all honesty, the Highland Park bungalow is a pretty good deal.
