"metropolitan Los Angeles sustains more manufacturing jobs than the entire state of Michigan."

"Only about 90 people live in Vernon, many of them cops and fire-fighters. Most rent their homes from the city for a pittance—a one-bedroom flat costs $147 per month. They are the city's electorate and, in theory, the pool from which mayors and local politicians are drawn."

interesting place.
