It's expensive because of the concentration of wealth, not the quality of the area. There's a ton of crime, homelessness, car break ins, etc.

People often leave their car doors unlocked or their windows down to prevent their windows from being broken, but instead they find random people sleeping in their cars.

On the plus side, the weather there is quite nice.
