Yea I saw this list & was like: 5 mins ago working class & moderate income folks could buy a home w/a pool in Chino Hills.

Chino Hills median home price in 2012 was $370k ($453K in 2022 dollars).

That these places have become expensive (& how) is a the story. /1
I always saw Cerritos as a working class API town (some folks who owned & worked the counter at the beauty shops, nail salons, liquor stores in SoCntralLA ironically).

Weird to any1 who has been here more than a min to lump these cities in same bag as Palos Verdes Estates. /2
This isn’t to say whether Chino Hills is doing enuf now (dunno & they probably arent)…but rather to say a lot of now expensive towns in SoCal are new towns never built to be an exclusionary white enclaves. Heck Chino Hills didn’t even get built out until the late ‘80s/‘90s…
