Why isn't the NFL in Los Angeles? And why isn't it the Arizona Roadrunners?

A year and a half ago I moved to Southern California's Inland Empire which is considered part of the Los Angeles metro area. Not too long ago there were two football teams here but as everyone knows the Rams bolted for St. Louis and the Raiders scrambled back to Oakland.
Here's an idea: get another NFL team in here. Either expansion or one of the lesser performing established teams such as the Jacksonville Jaguars, it doesn't matter. So no one wants to play at the ancient, dangerous Coliseum, the inappropriate Anaheim stadium or even the Rose Bowl? Build a new place! There is certainly enough money out here and plenty of potential fans.
So real estate and land are at statospheric prices in L.A.? Do what the car dealers do, move to Fontana or Rancho Cucamonga. There are perfect spots for a magnificent facility near the intersection of the 10 and the 15 freeways. And Las Vegas is just a short day trip away.
And why in heaven's name is it the Arizona Cardinals when there isn't a cardinal flying within 1,000 miles of that hot, dusty city? They still wear the same basic uniform that they wore when Jim Hart was their quarterback! The people of St. Louis must get weirded out when they go there to play the Rams.
