The LA Times Homicide Blog and the Real Estate Blog come together in this comment on the latter:

I was just reading the homicide blog, and there was a mention that the homes on the Compton street where Quanisha Pitts was killed sell in the half-million dollar range.

And according to the blog post above, the median American home price is $219,000.

Parts of Compton (parts where people get shot) selling for more than DOUBLE the price of the median American home, and some people wonder if L.A. home prices are a bubble.

Crazy.
