Neither Here nor There

Too bad Kate Braverman had to leave town to find a meaningful lifestyle (“A Tale of Two Very Different, You Know, Spaces,” March 3). Her article kindled the I-should-leave-L.A. feelings so many of us have.

But it isn’t Los Angeles that causes a chill within families or creates the obsessions we have with famous people we don’t know. True, we have a high-decibel media, but still, no one forces you to listen. I think Braverman’s I’m-happy-now story goes to show that it’s really how you spend your time that counts, not where you spend it.

As a mother of four, I live with my husband and children in a three-bedroom house. We all share the sole bathroom as well as the living room, dining room and kitchen. We have one telephone and one computer. It’s crowded, but it’s fun and very rewarding.

Braverman could have done it here.
