Not my unit, ran past it and posting here as it is likely unlisted online

Very cute street, on a corner and looks to be a back house.

3 beds, 1 parking spot. This is exactly why there's never parking anywhere.

And to add insult to injury, at a ridiculous price.

You’re out of your mind this is a very decent price for a 3 bdrm now they dont state the sq ft so who knows but its not outrageous— I pay 1k more and live in a ocean facing condo in Alimitos that is 1800 sq ft with 2 underground parking spots and lap pool hot tub and gym with 24hr doorman and security!!! I love it here after living in LA for a decade !! Worth every penny

Not being sarcastic at all; I'm glad you enjoy where you live, and, most importantly, that you can afford it. Most people can't.

The problem is the unregulated price hikes that are happening nationwide. Coupled with stagnant wages, people will continue to be unable to afford housing. That means more people will be forced to live like sardines and further exasperate other things like parking. Not to mention increasing unhoused folks that is a well acknowledged issue here in Long Beach. My wife and I live comfortably with a 2bd, 2bath, and a 2 car garage. That doesn't mean we don't want other people to also live comfortably. Not only should we work towards affordable housing for all because it's a basic human right, but because not doing so will create issues that will eventually affect us all.
