Where do the lower wage employees live?

Yes, I meant to say "10 to a home in a home designed for 4".

When we visit the Orange County Beaches or the La Jolla area, we're intrigued by the number of people that clearly work in relatively low-wage jobs, and wonder where and how they live. Does anyone know? For example, on our last trip we were in La Jolla, and around 3:30, cars were pouring out of the area, which may have included employees leaving the businesses for the day. Where do they go? Are there affordable areas to which they return? I find the situation intriguing from a sociological perspective. Obviously, there are tons of non-managerial, service-industry type workers that, very likely, can't afford million dollar homes.

Again, it's just curiosity, partly rising from a documentary that I recently watched on homeless issues.

Thanks!

We have apartments and town homes priced well under 1 million.
