Correct! Southlands best bet is to be aggressive with multi-nodal employment centers. Imagine if the State government allowed a place like the Inland Empire to be as aggressive with adding new employers as Texas is!? Imagine if there were land and tax incentives in place to land corporate relocations or expansions to Corona or Menefee or Murrieta? Definitely out in remote exurbs like Victorville they need employers to water down commuting.
Shorten commutes and allow for growth that isn't just bedroom community type. Downtown and west LA have their own draws and will take care of themselves. Multinodal is the key.
