Without PCH or Sepulveda, what other quicker side streets or highways are available to reach El Segundo? As I stated previously, the 405 is always congested. Taking the St. Thomas Bridge would lead to the 110. From the 110, one would either have to connect to the 405 or the 105 to reach El Segundo. Going 110 north then 105 west isn't going to be faster than taking the congested 405 north.

Also, Long Beach is the 5th largest city in California. So it has many different and diverse neighborhoods ranging from filthy rich to depressed poor.
I don't disagree with your description regarding the quality of living in Long Beach. It has some of the finest community in all of Southern California. If I were working there or around the satellite cities such as Lakewood, Cerritos, Los Alamitos, San Pedro, etc I would rank Long Beach on the top list of choices. But the fact is that there really isn't much favorable smooth traffic patterns to commute between Long Beach and El Segundo (Freeway or Side streets)
