L.A., O.C. housing prices 10 times more than earnings: Harvard
A new report from Harvard University’s Joint Center for Housing Studies has quantified the struggle many face when looking to buy a home in Southern California.
A new report from the center finds that in Los Angeles and Orange Counties, the average home costs about 10 times the average income, as reported by the Orange County Register.
Even outside of some of the pricier areas of Southern California, home prices soar above the national average of homes being about five times larger than incomes.
The center’s State of the Nation’s Housing report said the Inland Empire’s home prices are about six times larger than incomes.

The U.S. just saw its busiest air travel day in history
More than 3 million people passed through U.S. airport security on Sunday, marking a new single-day record, according to the U.S. Transportation Security Administration.
The record, which was widely predicted to happen at some point over the July Four holiday weekend, topped the June 23 mark of more than 2.99 million screened passengers. Eight of the ten busiest days in TSA’s history have come this year as the number of travelers exceeds pre-pandemic levels.
At Los Angeles International Airport, officials expected 241,000 people to pass through terminals on Sunday and over 2 million during the June 27 through July 8 holiday travel period.
“Looking ahead, domestic travel remains steady leading into the fall, and international travel continues to grow, with notable increases in travel to Canada and Central and South America,” said Doug Webster, Interim Chief Operations and Maintenance Officer at LAX.
While Americans continue to grapple with inflation, travel costs, including airline tickets and hotel prices, have eased significantly from a year ago. Hotel rooms were 1.2% cheaper in May compared with a year ago, according to recent government inflation data. Those costs have been trending lower since the beginning of the year.
While most U.S. airlines lost money in the first quarter — traditionally the weakest time of year for travel — they were all expecting a summer of full planes.
This spring, American and Southwest said they expected solid second quarter profits. They joined Delta Air Lines and United Airlines in giving an upbeat outlook for the April-through-June period, which includes the start of peak season for carriers.
Delta reports its second-quarter earnings on Thursday, with analysts predicting sales of $15.5 billion, nearly $1 billion more than the same period a year ago. Next week, United and American issue their quarterly results, with Wall Street forecasting higher revenue from a year ago for both carriers.
TSA was created after the terror attacks on Sept. 11, 2001, and replaced a collection of private security companies that were hired by airlines. The agency operates under the Department of Homeland Security, which said that agents on Sunday checked 35 passengers every second.

Some say deputies response excessive after 73 teens detained at Carson mall
After more than 70 juveniles were detained and cited Saturday night in connection with a major disturbance at a mall in Carson, some parents and relatives of the kids are calling the law enforcement presence excessive.
Deputies with the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department responded to the SouthBay Pavillion Mall around 5:30 p.m. on reports of a large and unruly gathering of an estimated 200 minors that prompted the mall to close earlier than normal.
Authorities said that some of the juveniles were setting off illegal fireworks inside a store at the mall and that someone else started a fire inside of a trashcan.
Dispersal orders were issued but the crowd reportedly refused to comply. Officials said that more law enforcement backup was called to the scene as the teens were disrupting business and endangering shoppers.
Sheriff’s deputies set up a perimeter and were, at one point, seen jumping into bushes to detain some of the teens, many of whom were seen scrambling to get out of the mall as law enforcement officers arrived.
Jamila Buie’s 16-year-old nephew was one of the 73 teens detained and told KTLA that she believes the law enforcement response was over the top.
“I feel like they should’ve only detained the ones that started the fire, not all the kids,” she explained to KTLA’s Carlos Saucedo. “It’s only 30 people. They said they had video of the kids that started the fire.”
Deputies issued the minors citations for failure to disperse and disturbing the peace. Parents were forced to come and collect their children, with some saying their kids should never have been held by deputies.
“He’s 11-year-old, exactly,” Amber Lyn, whose son was detained, told KTLA. “No paperwork, never been in trouble. He gets straight A’s and he’s an athlete.”
A similar incident occurred late last year at the Del Amo Fashion Center in Torrance that led to curfews and the requirement that minors be accompanied by adults while in the shopping center.
At the mall in Carson, there were no reports of any injuries or thefts from any shops Saturday night.
On Sunday, the mall was back open for business, though with a visible presence of security on hand.
In a news release on Sunday, Carson Mayor Lula Davis-Holmes said:
“Mayor Lula Davis-Holmes commented, “The safety and well-being of our residents and businesses are our top priority. We are taking immediate steps to ensure such incidents do not recur. Our community’s strength lies in our ability to come together and address challenges head-on. I commend the Sheriff’s Department for their quick action and the community for their cooperation.”
While it’s unclear what those steps might entail, there were other shoppers who said they were rattled by the incident.
“I come to the mall often here,” San Pedro resident Michelle Brooks said. “I think it’s ridiculous. Parents need to get a hold of their children at all times.”
