Tired of Column

Am I the only reader tired of the “Hot Property” column in your Real Estate section? Is no part of your paper free from this type of “journalism?”

With 90% of Angelenos unable to buy houses, I find the front-page devotion to stars and their mansions to be in very poor taste. The Times only adds to the disgusting hyper-glamorization of celebrities’ lives, which already is culturally far too prevalent. Must we gawk while our middle class gets squeezed into extinction?
