Los Angeles' Hold on Hollywood Is Slipping
www.hollywoodreporter.com: There’s not enough work. And especially not enough work to afford to live in Los Angeles. More often than not, it seems, that’s what people hear when the topic turns to Hollywood’s film and TV production in the industry’s home base over the past couple of years.

I think this trend that less and less media is being filmed in Los Angeles is both a concerning trend, as well as not particularly surprising. I think especially after covid it was realized how certain parts of production, especially management and the planning side could be done virtually that the need for this one place to film most things just isn't as necessary as it used to be. Los Angeles is also just like an absurdly expensive city. like the cost of living in Los Angeles is just not something that most people can sustain and therefore it's really hard to find a lot of the entry-level people who would be willing to work for less money because those people just can't afford to do that work anymore. I also think the targeting of ICE by the Trump Administration has made things even more difficult, as a lot of construction work, janitorial services, and catering services that are staffed by immigrant workers are not currently able to function to the same capacity as they have in the past. I think for Los Angeles to be able to bring back their Monopoly in filming locations, they need to especially look at current cost of living and how that can be improved.
