Me considered Monrovia? I work in Marina del Rey. No way in hell I'd do that commute. From where I am now in west LA it is 10-15 min when the freeway is light or at worst 30 minutes of surface streets. The move to SM won't change that much.
I used to live in Pasadena (love it). But my ex did the commute from Pasadena to the west side - between 2-3 hours a day in the car. That's why we moved in the first place.
Living in LA is all about minimizing commute time. SF Springs is not a very nice place, but there are decent areas around it.
Jeff, I have extenuating circumstances so I'm making the best of it. I can't just pick up and move anywhere. I wouldn't move at all but the bump in school quality is significant and the SM public schools are as good as any private in the area. Lots of places I'd rather live, but none of them have as good a school and still maintain reasonable distance from the ex.
And not all of SM is like the 3rd St promenade...
