I left in 1973.
That’s a real good question. Article says “Residents between the ages of 18 and 24, and between 45 and 64 were most likely to leave.”
There can’t be that many Google, Facebook & Apple gazillionaires 25 - 44 years old who are propping up the market.
Redwoods, the coast, the coastal mountain ranges, quaint towns. It’s some of the most spectacular scenery on earth. If you like to spend time outdoors, this is the place to be. But the price to enjoy it is beyond exorbitant. And having 40 million people breathing down your neck is awful.
The ten counties in all of North Idaho have 330,000 people. That’s less than the four towns surrounding us here on the San Fran Peninsula.
Wow, Jenny Shao is one brave woman and a great citizen. Good for her. Too bad she didn’t request anonymity. I don’t think I would have gone on camera like she did.
Actually, New Hampshire, not Vermont!
Agree with you about Idaho. Everybody stay away. Nothing but hicks, potatoes, rednecks, cloudy skies and cold winters. Brrrr.
Looks like Hunters Point vs The Mission there.
LOL...we are in our mid 60s and just bought a second house close to the Canadian border. We are doing it all wrong — doubling our house size, going from a single story ranch to two stories with upstairs master suite, going north to the cold, and doubling our lot size and maintenance. Fortunately, there’s a large bedroom on the first floor we can use as a master bedroom and not have to climb the stairs again...as long as we make that change before we fall down the stairs.
We know of two families who lost a loved one in their early 70s due to falls down stairs in 2018! Yikes...too close for comfort.
We are so fed up with the insane politics of California and that was a major factor in our purchase. But we haven’t sold the CA house yet.
“People leaving California and New York are enough to forever change the balance to the Dems.”
That does seem to be happening, but I (perhaps naively) think it is conservative Californians leaving here for more hospitiable places. The radical leftist politics, the leftist-caused horribly degraded civic life, the illegals, the hostility of people toward conservatives, the ultra high cost is pushing out more conservatives than libs.
I hope.
You hear more Mandarin and Hindi on the streets of many San Fran Peninsula towns and near San Jose suburbs than you do English. It is just awful. It’s like we moved to Bangalore or Guanzhou.
What a coincidence...I arrived in August 1973. Came from the east coast and midwest at age 21. I remember crossing the Bay Bridge looking for San Francisco and I thought to myself “That little town there just can’t be SF. It must be farther down 101.” So I drove down to Burlingame and then thought “Yikes! I guess that little burg was it.” It was smaller than the outskirts of many large eastern cities.
I’d suggest Portland, Oregon or Seattle, Washington both are filled with their fellow lefty nutters.
And guns. Lots and lots of scary guns. Probably automatics.
I know a guy in CA that says his street in 50% rentals owed by Chinese nationals. The Chinese are speculating in CA real estate.
Even worse, you can’t even see the guns! Why, the guy or gal next to you is probably carrying and you never know — he or she could explode at any second.
