        because it’s not ‘right now’. You either get $120 a week or the 600 after five weeks. Emergencies don’t just wait for you to have the money for them

    Maybe make your metro usable so not driving would be easier. It’s kind of impossible to get where you need to go without a car in LA

      LA is a tough one for this because it’s so spread out. San Francisco has a famously amazing BART system but the city is also very tiny compared to what most people think of as “LA”.

      Depending where you live and where you go, LA Metro can be useful. I use the Metro quite often, and I know the bus system is pretty expansive as well. They’ve also consistently been adding new lines and stops including a way to get to LAX via Metro. So it’s not like improvements aren’t being made.

    Sounds like a great way to get a free car!

    Buy the car, park it in your driveway for the next six years and use the cash incentives to make your car payments!

      Looks like its only a one time payment and only 2000 households. So its just a PR stunt. 2000 is enough for a news story but not enough to effect anything.
