The quality of life for many people in L.A. County appears to be dropping, according to a new survey. High prices, rising crime, health concerns and the homeless crisis are all playing a part.

LOS ANGELES -- High prices, homelessness, rising crime and health concerns are taking their toll on the quality of life in Los Angeles County, with a UCLA survey released Friday revealing the lowest level of residents' overall satisfaction in the survey's seven-year history.UCLA Luskin School of Public Affairs

"For the first time since the inception of this survey, respondents' ratings dropped in each of the nine categories, and eight of the nine fell to their lowest rating ever,'' Zev Yaroslavsky, director of the Los Angeles Initiative, said in a statement. "What the pandemic couldn't do over the last two years, inflation and increases in violent and property crime succeeded in doing,'' Yaroslavsky said. It appears that the dam has burst this year.''

Imma wondering if the lethal doses of 'blues' isn't about this

This is sad

I could have told you that without a study!

You’ll find it’s dropping all over the US. Get real. Our planets on fire, people are in trouble, we need serious solutions. savetheplanet

. Too many people moving here ! Stop building housing ! This shit is out of hand now.

Most people are disgusted at how far our state has deteriorated into poverty- but I see no cohesive strategy of Californians+the media getting together to take massive action to replace ALL politicians & remove the influence of special interests.Where are the millions protesting?

DEMOCRAT LEADERSHIP. BOTTOM LINE. GavinNewsom DNC RNCResearch

RickCarusoLA is the right leadership to restore our city and put it back on the path towards a better future.

I saw a homeless tent with an AC unit hooked up. How bad could it be?

🤣🤣🤣 wow great breaking “news”🤣- this fact is as obvious as a hard slap in the face…..UCLA did you really need to waste all those resources on what couldn’t be more OBVIOUS!!! A quick look around you: homeless humanitarian crisis, INSANE cost of living, traffic, filth, crime.

May I suggest to ABC7 to go further and compare house prices between L.A. county area and S.F. Greater Bay Area? I am finding comparable home prices dropping a bit more in L.A. area than in our own Bay Area. Noticing as I am shopping to buy a home and researching prices.

So I’m sorry I’m not sorry!!! Hahaha 🤣

_ovalle1 Absolutely it is worse. Way worse. Born and raised in SoCal. Why do you think this is? Honestly.

Ya think? newsroom is now officially full of fucking geniuses. What an accomplishment.

No duh.

I don't feel sorry for them. LA votes for this. Try someone who is not a liberal Democrat next November.

…VOTE FOR CHANGE! 🇺🇸midterms2022

You could’ve walked around LA for an hour and figured that out without having to pester people with a lame ass survey.

recallgascon

Dropping further, that undeclared quiet silent violent proxy war upon the citizens continues from Sacramento

Oh look, another survey. Yawn.

Not surprised anymore! Even our weather is nuts from flooding rain to extreme heat. Still waiting for the earthquake. Homeless everywhere businesses shut down just it’s a different LA. Business is still closing at eight 9 o’clock even on weekends.

Don’t think you needed a study to find that out.

This is our own fault. We voted in the same people over and over and over again. That’s where the change needs to start. Let’s start by electing Caruso for mayor and Villanueva for sheriff - then we can work on the county board of supervisors.

I’m not surprised it hadn’t happened sooner!

SoledadUrsua Stop voting for stupid liiberal dipshitzz. That’s the only way it will change.

Well der! This nation is about to see inflation within an administration of desolation. Best part is, he blames it on covid-19 and Putin. Other cities I'm sure will follow suit.

When thousands get to live rent free in the toniest zip codes like BH, Venice Beach and West LA, surely this is fake news!

The quality of life has been dropping for the entire country, if you’ve been paying attention.

It the homeless and crime . The Metro has become a rolling motel for the homeless

You mean for everyone living on planet earth- correct?

I just heard Young lady Here in California can't find a place to live because it's so expensive

HollywoodLANews

Bet if they raised taxes that would help.

Do tell.

Considering how much it cost to live in OC and/or LA county, the quality of life is absolute garbage. Moving out of Orange County was the best move I’ve ever made.

Who knew? Except the legions of struggling wannabes that live in the LA basin. Humanities priorities are totally upside down.

But NO WHERE else has CA weather. 😂hence we will tolerate our low quality life, drive in traffic to make ends meet, take kids to their sports games or parks while counting the ever increasing homeless camps and glitzy luxury cars at the same time .

I can’t imagine why

Yep it’s just getting it worse.

Too bad GavinNewsom couldnt give two 💩💩 about our state

Bad roads , bad freeways , traffic , overpriced food , dirt , filthy streets, crime , and LASD

This is not new !

Doubt it. You couldn't pay me to live elsewhere like Kentucky · Florida · Idaho · Arizona · Wyoming · Oklahoma • Texas • Tennessee = No Thanks. I love it here in California! No place better in my opinion. And if you don't think so, no one's keeping you here but you. *Big Sur*

First: small wonder. Second: I read it and, although the s weren't good for a few years, they did not drop tremendously. The condition here are pretty bad.😕

***CORRECTION…ORANGE COUNTY RESIDENTS.

What? Are you telling me paying overpriced rent for a basic apartment or house, with a homeless shanty tent town on your block, while employers try to lowball your pay isn’t ideal? I would’ve never guessed…

If biden was a LA resident, he'd probably to blame ptn.

I live in OC, housing prices are expensive 😳 meanwhile I believe some can’t afford it here, there should be a balance. Every city needs min wage workers and they also need a place to live so if they can’t afford where they work then they start commuting or moving out of state.

You all are so surprised?!?! Look at who is running so cal. It sucks wverywhere.

Californians we need to unite for change and stop voting for the same people over and over! Let’s try something new. I’m backing ShellenbergerMD for Governor. Join me! 🙏🏻☀️💜

It’s horrible. And sad. Why are our major cities being allowed to decay?

Time to get out of this place!

Stop voting in leftist lawmakers.. Please don't move to conservitive OC and mess up our peace of mind. like a good neihbore stay over there.

I left in the 90's and CA was a total disaster then!

LA is another whole type of CITY

Quality of life is white supremacy

True because cost of living going up

Tax the billionaire more

Makes sense considering we have to pay outrageous prices for rent food and gas it’s insane.

Dropping implies there is some actual quality of life at all

ShellenbergerMD for governor!

GO OUT AND VOTE BLUE AGAIN THAT WILL MAKE IT BETTER

Keep voting for people like Garceti, Karen Bass, Bonin, George Gascon, etc, leftist woke progressives who don’t know what they are doing, they don’t care about the people, they care about politics. Break the cycle, start by electing RickCarusoLA

Yay democrats

cmaddenmft When I studied urban planning at UCSB the examples of disasters in planning were alway Los Angeles. Money over quality of life, overdevelopment, poor public transit planning, 99% of waste water still goes to ocean rather than irritating parks, sides of freeways.

My quality of life has gone up in Los Angeles. I finally came out as non-binary and was released without cash bail after I robbed 3 stores on the same day. Those racist cops need to be DEFUNDED.

Nice job Democrats. Can't wait for my 14 year old transgender sister to get her abortion. Are they still giving free heroin needles to homeless?

Activist Quack GinaForLA and CaliCre8ive say everything is just fine. You think so too, LexStepp … right?

There’s human crap on the streets. I’d say quality waived bye bye a while ago.

VOTING MATTERS you voted out JACKIE LACEY because BLM told you to and now you know why Don't blame GASCON for the way you voted you are going to do the same with Rick Caruso very soon. don't blame Rick for your mistakes you never learn

Stop electing career politicians. They are ALL owned by special interest. Might want to try RickCarusoLA and ShellenbergerMD Elex_Michaelson

It's dropping in San Francisco, too. It's a damn shame!

Congrats to all contributing to this thread. After a difficult day, it's nice to read “F$& Democrats” “F$& Republicans” “F$& everybody I don't agree with” We face real problems. Smart people working on hard problems will make progress. The rest are just spectators

👀

So where's the good quality of life. I want to know so that I can move there 🤣

Thank you Eric Garcetti

Well no shit

Gascon sucks D!CK

When you live in a beautiful city it’s suppose to be family friendly or dating friendly or exclusive party friendly or maybe even physical exploring friendly …. Fyi not hoodfriendly or robbery friendly or murder friendly or homeless friendly

That started a decade ago. I lived in Upland for almost a decade and treated the west side, Ventura and the beach cities as if they were on the moon. You can’t get there from here. Took less time to fly to Seattle or Denver than drive to Manhattan Beach

so sad

Did the study consist of participants opening their front doors and tripping over homeless transients, narcotics users or robbery suspects?

GeorgeGascon GavinNewsom ericgarcetti 🤡🤡🤡👀

Thanks Garcetti

Yet nothing will change. Our “leaders” will continue not to lead. The people will vote for more of the same. It’s an endless cycle. What will happen is more long-time residents will up and leave. We love our city but will not be able to remain.

It’s dropping everywhere. Let this narrative go 🙄

Totally not related to everything encouraging isolation

That’s what having a one party supermajority of democrats does to a State. The woke ideologies of California democrats are turning SoCal into a crime ridden, very expensive sh*thole💯🤮

yeah, we're broke. the government should give us all money, that would help immensely.

GeorgeGascon is making sure it’s terrible

You mean not punishing people for crimes they commit affect QoL? Can we abort this experiment? No one who touts criminal reforms knows what they're doing

They get what they voted for and what they deserve.

LA pollution is horrible due to the ego/auto 'culture'

Crime doubled this year..

Also the homeless problem is out of control!

Let's see: Governor Newsom releases criminals bc of covid. District Attorney Gascon won't prosecute criminals. End results more crime. Stop voting for Democrats peeps they don't give a shit..

We need to bring back caning in California. A good whipping is a good punishment for theirs. It’ll save the state money too. If you ask a criminal if they’d prefer a year in jail or 10 lashes, they’d pick the lashes

Having lived in LA for 21 years, I left in 2016 for Dallas. Haven't looked back. Quality of life & level of happiness increased dramatically. The California exodus for Texas & other states will only gain momentum in the coming years. Businesses are leaving & so are the jobs.

I’d still live here over Gary, IN or Baltimore MA

Overtaxed

Did those surveyed vote for democrats?

You can stick this survey. I would live nowhere else.

You dont say...

yes it is and we can thank all the idiots that voted during the recall, when we could've had change instead we got more of the same, Newsome and Pelosi along w the rest of the california left wing have destroyed california, LA looks like the worst parts of 3rd world countries!

gee....i wonder why!? cant taper a ponzi opt out BTC

And ironically the people of Los Angeles will still vote the same politicians.

This is one reason.

This is what's considered news? This has been known for some time.

Thank a democrat

Candy for whoever finds your sheriff’s name first:

All those lasdgangs hiding under lacosheriff’s porcine behind…

When St. Vincent’s Hospital is done being used to treat Covid patients, we should turn it into a mental hospital. LA needs more places to treat people ASAP.

It took a UCLA survey to figure this out ?

…vote for change! midterms2022

Gas prices are crazy!

It is no longer the enlightened utopia it once was.

Who are the 45% who view Eric Garcetti favorably? He’s the worst mayor LA has ever had.

Dont need a survey to tell us that

COME ON!! This survey originated in 2016! Everything has gotten worse everywhere since 2016 for regular folk!!

Where in the USA did quality of life go up? Outside of the Gates, Bezos, Musk households. Someplace they frack oil probably.

Quality of life IS going down in LA county, why?! The mask mandate is one, the stupid high tax rate is two, the cost of living is three, a lot of robberies and crime makes four, it all makes LA county a pit instead of a Heaven for tourists and locals!! This NEEDS to be fixed!! 😡

It's nationwide.

George Gascon upon reading this study: ‘Quality of life dropping for Los Angeles County residents, UCLA survey finds’

NO SH/T

The bottom 25% of incomes in America went up just 13.8% (2018 dollars) from 1975-2018. The price of homes in America last year went up somewhere north of 16%. JUST LAST YEAR. Nobody in America is seeing the quality of life improve unless they're in the top 25%.

Need a UCLA survey for this?

Well gee, I wonder why?

Yep…duh

No shit! Thugs rob people while dining outside, smash-and-rob stores becomes a regular sport, superficial helps with the fast-growing issues of homelessness, shit shacks for over $1 million. I wonder….🤔

Was there ever a quality of life in Los Angeles ? I mean it’s over crowded you have to drive anywhere or taxied ! Infrastructure sucks ! Pollution and crimes is over the roof ! Fake people , liars , actors wannabees .. Never was into it

with scorched earth policies and their undeclared quiet silent violent proxy war upon the citizens don't you ever not this it?

We r fckn brokeeeeeee

Don't think we needed a study to draw this conclusion

It's not just L A County!!

This is a consequence of underfunded schools, social programs, law enforcement, failing to tackle affordable housing crisis, homeless crisis, mental health crisis, traffic,

The Voters wanted prop 47 and no bail and gascon and now they want rick curuso. they deserve what they get

Please folks. Masks and the he/him, she/her loons are what really matter. Please try and stay focused….

Liberal run cities and states.

Heckuva job there Garcetti!

I’ve grown to slowly hate this city. The underfunded school. Over priced rent. Oh and the tax in poor neighborhoods hoods is real. Wait the shitty roads. Asshole cops that are more armed than the military. I can’t even afford a house in my old neighborhood. Poor leaders killed LA

🙄

Here, I'll list a few reasons why...

remember that time we had a chance to RecallGavinNewsom? man, we blew that one.

Turns out that paying out the ass to live in a hellscape doesn’t add much to the ol quality of life.

Why am I not surprised 🤦🏻‍♂️📉

Shocking 🙄🙄🙄

PplsCityCouncil

More like dead body's dropping in LA.

.GavinNewsom time for those 400.00 fuel ⛽️ stimulus payouts.

No kidding.

ericwn913

turns out not funding social programs and instead putting military hardware on par with the invasion of iraq on the streets for out of control cops isn't a favorable policy choice

No shit lol

You don’t say.
