The real problem is how impossible it is to get remote work in LA, employers here demand onsite even when it hurts the project, its very hard to get remote work living in La as most employers are looking for remote employees in cheaper cost of living areas.

If having everyone onsite hurts the project, there is something terribly, terribly wrong with that project.

The problem in LA is that VCs and founders have money to live by the ocean, so they start companies near the ocean.

If an LA startup is stunted by its inability to hire, that startup should move downtown where trains can deliver a workforce from distant suburbs and the surrounding counties of Orange, Riverside, San Bernadino, and Ventura.

I have to travel 6 hours a day to get to work and back but my employer doesn't let me work remote, not even 1 day a week, attitude is its hard for everyone to get here and the harder the location is to reach, the better.

Sounds like you need a new job.

Yeah man you need a new Job. Tons of people are looking to hire here in Santa Monica.
