OC workers need to be able to live somewhere decent near their jobs or both they and the employer may make the big decision to move out of state to friendlier turf then everything will change. Both the state government and the local jurisdictions within Orange County have better wake up fast. That's a reason why OC prices remain out of control. However, only 16,000 new homes were sold during that same period. Currently, many OC workers have to endure the infamous super commute from far-off affordable regions like Lake Elsinore, Southwest Riverside County, and Eastvale which has clogged the 91, I-15 and 57 freeways.īut here's the headline: In the past three years, Orange County employers added a promising 119,000 jobs to the marketplace. But part of productive employee retention has to involve ensuring that workers have a decent place to live near their jobs without any sort of subsidy from the government. I would love to see something similar in the Inland Empire. Working salaries are also up as managers continue to look for talent and retain workers. The report also mentions that the local job market remains solid, with slower but above-average hiring expected. Because of that, the median selling price for an OC home has ballooned to a whopping $618,500 – the highest January price on record according to CoreLogic. Other than that, I say: Let's develop the UCR Mobility Hub Transit Center.ĭespite being one of the most expensive regions to live in the country, the Orange County real estate market experienced a buyer's spree according to the OC Register. However, this plan looks promising considering the fact that more than a whopping 20% of UCR's population ride RTA buses to and from school and remains one of the agency's busiest destinations with a reported average weekday boarding and alighting count of almost 1,800.Ī footnote from this idea is that the City of Riverside's Riverside Reconnects streetcar line is not mentioned in this memo. The proposal is in the draft stage for now and needs to be approved by the UCR governing body. It will branch east from University Avenue. Dubbed the UCR Mobility Hub, the transfer point will link Routes 1, 16, 51, 204, 216, the future Metrolink rail feeder Route 52 from Hunter Park, and the soon-to-be RapidLink Gold and Blue Lines. I'll keep a close watch on this.Ī new transit center is in the works at the Fiat Lux four year university we call UC Riverside. Hopefully, greed won't create another artificial oil price bubble which more often than not, leads to a crash. What is very interesting though is that oil prices are on the rise even though U.S. However, if I hear another excuse or incident that sends this variance past the $1 mark, count on me to bring it up. But unlike last year, the price difference remains at an acceptable level. With all the outages and reported maintenance issues, I thought we would be paying at least a buck more this time of the year. Looking at the GasBuddy charts, Californians are currently paying about 70 cents more per gallon than the national average. So the fuel price hikes associated with the transition to California's summer blend was not as bad as I anticipated.
