Follow the money, and the money ends up in Japan.
FWIW, we should all be thanking the American unions for this as they continue to stifle the profitability of American manufacturers.

Ah-ha! OMG, I know so many people who work there .. and Honda, too ..located in the same area. HOWEVER ... you neglected to post that Torrance is Toyota's NORTH AMERICAN HEADQUARTERS!!!! Man oh man. Factoid ... Toyota owns many homes in this area (not Torrance) that are used for their Japanese executives for TEMPORARY family relocation. The execs and their immediate family are sent here for usually 2-3 years and then return to Japan. My son has lost a few friends who had lived here for only 2-3 years, only to be sent back to Japan.
