"The response: I read a comment on YouTube yesterday about this. The commentator was from the Bay Area and seemed to be at least somewhat neutral. The concern he had was this, look at the inflated property values in the Bay Area. People have invested heavily in homes that have become terribly inflated over the last several decades. Fairly ordinary houses priced in the hundreds of thousands and even millions of dollars. Imagine what would happen to property values if one third of the folks in this area have to go back to Mexico or wherever. This is what is generating the fear these libtards are reacting to.
Myself, I don’t live there and these folks cheered while 0bama screwed the rest of the country in their favor so I say it is their turn but this is an aspect of the current events that I had not considered.
I think it is a legitimate concern.
This article is from a year ago this coming Monday and precedes Trump's election. I wonder what a repeat poll would find now.
“Do You Know the Way OUT of San Jose?”
This is bad news for the rest of us! Right now all those libtards are confined to one area; this suggests they’ll migrate elsewhere and try to change their new locations to be the hellhole they came from.
Please Dear God make them stay. Don’t let them infect the rest of the country with the disease that they’ve inflicted on the Bay Area.
This is our canary in a coal mine...?
How so...? It’s all according to the liberal agenda!!!
My dad bought a new four bedroom, two and a half bath house in East San Jose, for $41,000 in 1972.
I don’t know the precise assessed value today, but I’m pretty sure it’s north of $1.5 million.
Don’t come to Colorado. We have ticks, snow, predator bears and mountain lions.
Bad traffic and high housing costs are going to be the least of their problems when the tribes and the ferals go full tilt.
Stinks of Urine ?
More than one-third of Bay Area residents say they are ready to leave in the next few years, citing high housing costs and traffic as the region’s biggest problems, according to a poll released Monday.
Doesn’t look like leaving for Mexico has 1 thing to do with it and is not even mentioned. Jeez
The proverbial canary died in the Nineties, at the latest. Some people are only just seeing it, decades later.
They'll apply more heavy handed leftist government idiocy, as a solution.
I'm a fifth-generation San Franciscan. I miss the hell out of the Bay Area and I don't have a lot of time left. I'd LOVE to move back. It's my home. Maybe when all of the ultra-left types get done ruining the place and flee to f*ck up other people's states, I'll be able to go home. (Not that I wish that on anybody else)
Stay out of Texas. All the roads are blocked by cattle drives. Gunfights every night on Main Streets. The rednecks have even taken over Austin.
Colorado is open, as there are many like you (bay area freaks) already there. They're even already stoned.
Better yet, head up to Washington State. They've got plenty of room.
Leave already. The newbies are the problem. I was born and raised in SF, and it was Republican until all the liberal newbies flooded in starting in the mid-1960s. The libs from the east coast ruined it for everyone here on the west coast.
1. Stop voting for people that allow anyone and everyone into the country.
or...
2. Move
I moved out of San Jose nearly 5 years ago and back to Misery, the state I grew up in. There are some things I really miss about the Bay Area (mountains and coasts, weather, working with innovative tech, a whole world of cuisine options, and a bunch of friends from church and work) but all the reasons I escaped are still there in spades- off the wall militant wacko liberalism, a child unfriendly culture, and unrealistic housing costs combined with wages being undercut by H1Bs.
Here in rural western Missouri people seem to have very little clue or imagination about what can be done with modern technology, food is as plain as the terrain, and weather sucks but folks vote conservative, property is cheap, your neighbors are friendly but don’t mess in your business, and you can raise your kids as you want and not many look askance at a big family. I only wish I could find the best of both worlds.
In the 60’s and 70’s, the Bay Area was the place to be. Los Angeles was a running joke in California for being smoggy and crowded. Now the Bay Area looks and feels like LA with a bit more topography. The area around San Ramon is growing so fast it’s unrecognizable from just ten years ago.
