Long Beach

Long Beach is just too expensive for the average person. Housing is in a good part of town is astronomical. I am a teacher and owning a home here is just a dream for me. I can barely afford the rent. $1900 for a 2 bedroom. Have to pay a lot just to live in a safe area. Schools are great....district has a great rep. in SoCal. Enrollment is declining though because so many young families are leaving SoCal and CA altogether because of the cost of living. Crime and gangs are a problem. Very multicultural city, can't beat the diversity of the people and attractions. So many things to do ....that is one of the great things about LB.
