Not everyone in Santa Monica is loaded and unaffected by the recession. I challenge you to look up the Santa Monica homelessness, crime & unemployment rates. Also, you'd be surprised at the amount of apartments under Rent Control. That being said I feel our community has a positive attitude and welcome all the travelers (like the NY'er who wrote this piece)with open arms. I have to disagree with you Target-Addict.

It is not, however, representative of other parts of California, such as Silicon Valley which is facing over 10% unemployment.
