According to a survey conducted by UCLA's Luskin School of Public Affairs, the quality of life for L.A. County residents remains low. What's to blame? Inflation, homelessness, and the lack of affordable housing.
"The lower income folks are the same people who's income hasn't come back to pre-pandemic levels and they're the ones getting clobbered by inflation," said Zev Yaroslavsky, a former elected official and the current director of the Los Angeles Initiative at the Luskin School of Public Affairs at UCLA.
"Twenty-eight percent of our respondents said they go to bed at night losing their home and becoming homeless as a result," said Yaroslavsky. "28%. There are 10 million people who live in this county. That means 2.8 million people go to bed at night worried they're going to become homeless." This was the survey's 8th year and saw the second lowest quality of life rating, only two points higher than last year.
