"$1800 to $5400 to live right next to a busy freeway?" Yep that's one of the GW Palmer. Orsisni, or Assini, or some such. Geofry Palmer wonderful human being that he is, is now the largest landlord in downtown L.A. with some 2500+ rental units. He has yet to provide even one rental unit for low income renters, claims it's a hardship on him. He'd rather have his units sit empty and/or spend money on lawyers fighting the 15% low income unit requirement that was in place when he started building downtown. Also, if Prop 98 passes you can bet any and all low income units will be eliminated, and prices everywhere will start at $1800. Myself? I'll have to get a second job just to eat!

$1800 to $5400 to live right next to a busy freeway? I don't get it. I work just down the street from that building and there is nothing around it to even walk to conveniently let alone at night it can be rather unsavory out around there. I wonder how that place is doing with filling occupancy. For that price I'd rather buy.

Sounds like a good way to cause a freeway pile up.
