Home prices in the valley increased 13 percent between August 2014 and August 2015. Rents were up 12 percent.

Hmmm, might this be a localized and fragile housing "bubble"?

If I recall the stats correctly, they show the Once-Golden-State losing citizen peeps at a very high rate. (Don't remember the source.)

I see no stats that confirm your comment.

Perhaps you were looking at California prison inmate numbers?
