    "Like the rest of Los Angeles, South Pasadena isn’t without its traffic issues. The commute to downtown can be up to 45 minutes at times. When there’s no traffic it’s usually about a 15 to 20 minute drive. But the train is pretty consistent coming in at around 2025 minutes"

    "It’s a pretty and quiet, “small town feel” but with a lot of strings. Local government is hostile to renters (unless up for reelection), homeowner associations draw a direct line between affordable housing and crime. If you like a homogenous Mayberry with Teslas, it might be your place. "
