Two quick items worth checking out when you have a spare moment: First, this interactive chart of median home sales prices in Southern California over the past 20 years. It is the work of my new colleague, Ben Welsh, and I think it rocks.

Also new and improved: the search feature for the entire LATimes.com website, which is at the upper right corner of this page. For the first time, you can search and find archived blog posts from this and every other L.A. Times blog. This is a feature BetterVillage has asked for many, many times. It’s here.
