I hear you, but it's not happening just yet. So many of those rentals in the once-beautiful Uptown were the crummy garage conversions, big boxes, etc. The city finally cracked down a number of years ago, but we're still stuck with them.

Anyway, I guess I'm not going anywhere soon.

We lived in Whittier, about thrirty years ago. It was a terrible school district then, I can't imagine that it has gotten any better. Closing some of the schools might be an improvement. There used to be a first grade teacher that had more tenure than anyone in the district and had built up so much sick leave that she would take off the entire second marking period and go on a cruise. The school district could get rid of her, so they transferred her to a different school every two years.
