AH! I hear the smog in L.A. has definitely decreased; Mexico City and Athens win the smog fight hands down! Yup, you can walk to work, but, what if you live around the L.A.'s MOCA or LACMA, ever seen those neighborhoods? Gotta be at least $2000 a month rent. And if you are going to live in L.A., you do need a car, public transportation is atrocious and atrociously expensive!! So negotiate for a higher salary, these guys probably don't know they've made a terrible faux-pas; perhaps they meant part time position? O Olivia S.
