      Still a lot but not bad since it might be in a prime area and income was spot on spankin’ for the time. In the Philippines (now) housing is rising but a not as bad. Php 3 million for a reasonably sized 3 bedroom + guess house (60k USD) and Php 12 million for upper middle class mansion (220k USD). And those prices are already challenging for the average working Filipino, since salary rates here are much lower.

      Anonymously Anonymous no it’s not, it’s sadly that people aren’t very smart and if they go back 50 years prices for cars to food to gas have increased. People have different beliefs and some don’t want to hustle to live here, it’s not for the faint of heart. The people leaving are usually trying to get ahead while keeping their lifestyle or they are retiring and aren’t able to afford the lifestyle they want in CA. It’s hyperbolic to say it’s bad when for every 1 person that leaves there are 20 people who come in that want to work really hard and honestly that helps the CA economy because those people make CA stronger because they hustle and work hard.

More lanes, a relatively low crime rate (lower than texas my man), more suburbs, more cops, and a grid that doesn’t explode when it gets cold.

      That’s $10k per year..$833 per month. If college students choose a quality major and got a job making AT LEAST $60k out of school (which isn’t difficult at all for a college graduate in SoCal) there’s no reason they couldn’t save $833 per month. The issue is now that they’ve graduated they feel like they “deserve” a new car or a car they absolutely can’t afford. So now they have a $400-$500/month car payment, which is naturally going to require more insurance coverage than a cheap vehicle that’s owned outright plus they’re in their early 20s, so slap on a $300/month insurance payment. Coupled with constantly eating out and just spending money on stupid shit. Most college graduates could DEFINITELY do it. They just handle money poorly or start families way before they should smh. I’m on my 7th year out of undergrad and literally begged so many people not to do what I just described and fiscally wreck themselves but was just called a hater 🤷🏾‍♂️

      Shit here is so expensive, that you need to spend 100s of thousands for just a fucking flat unit, an apartment (HDB Flat). At this rate in my country, anyone that below being a millionaire would be considered the new poverty line lol.

      Fed policy supported this by low interest rate below inflation since before 2008. Now it is too late too little to correct. Real inflation rate of needs including housing, fuel, foods, energy, medicare are much higher than the average inflation. Instead of using average inflation rate of needs upon the percentage of consumption over income. Only good part that Fed needs to sell bonds with discount rate. So, the better solution for CA is to increase the supply over the demand in housing, and offer decentralization of tax and permit to lower cost; etc in rural areas. But no way hose for this.

    Personally, I did something similar to people leaving California for Texas. If I'm being honest it's the best decision I've ever made. In Vancouver (my previous city) I was working endlessly just to maintain living standards and despite having a great salary, it was hard keeping up with year to year price increases and watching 2 thirds of my income go to paying someone else's mortgage on a shitty apartment that I could be kicked out of at any time. During the pandemic, my Dads business started struggling, and since I could work remote I moved in with him and helped him pay the bills. Within a year of paying off his mortgage, The reduced stress of not having to work my ass off, thanks to my reduced bills allowed me to focus on myself. By the end of that year, I found my fiancée and saved up enough money for a down payment on a house 2 minutes away from my dads. My mortgage, property taxes, utilities and food for me and my fiancée are less then what I was paying for myself in my old apartment, but here I get a beautiful front and back yard and 2 additional bedrooms. The lower bills allowed me to take on more risk, and to start a business further increasing my income and happiness, the increased space has also allowed me to get 2 puppies, take up new hobbies that would have violated my old rental agreement. Me and my fiancée are even talking about having a kid.
    This is just conjecture, and based on my own personal experience, but I feel like people are happier, and more productive when they can own a stake in their communities. I have friends that sacrifice so much... They have to do unfulfilling jobs, for assholes just to make enough money to spend time in a city they don't have enough time off to enjoy, that lack of time also leads to them losing opportunities to find people and build families to enjoy their cities with. Even if they're able to save up enough to buy a place, its because they've worked so hard, and gone without for so many years, they'll be lucky to pay that house off by the time they retire. There's an old Greek proverb that says "Great societies are build when old men plant trees who's shade they will never sit in" unfortunately its unlikely that in some cities people (if they can even afford to buy a home) will ever be able to buy a place where they can plant a tree and watch it grow tall enough to provide their children with shade.

      As someone born and raised in Texas, it’s always been so hard for me to understand why people leave these beautiful states for mediocre Texas. And I guess it always just comes down to money and space for their family. We had a 4 bedroom house with a few living rooms, backyard, front yard… none of that mattered to me as a kid since the weather and scenery were usually not very inviting to be outdoors. So I grew up on the internet and video games. Whatever one can do inside. I lived in California for a few years and it was so different. I worked a lot to pay for my small bedroom in San Francisco and the cost of living in such a desirable city. When I wasn’t working, I was exploring the sights, enjoying the weather, trying new restaurants, meeting friends at Dolores Park... It always felt like there was something to do. Texas never felt like that to me. It’s just a place to stay inside and save money if you can, even though the wages are much less in Texas on average.

Those places were even worse with crowds, traffic, high prices on literally everything.

    I've lived in a few European countries and for the last 6 years, Australia, specifically Queensland. I recently visited CA for the first time. I have to say it was one of the most underwhelming and even sometimes shocking trips I have ever taken in my life, and I have worked in the Middle East, sub saran Africa and South Asia. Of course, it is richer than those places, but the amount of homelessness, dereliction and atmosphere of decay was absolutely unbelievable for the a state with 6th largest economy in the world, famed for the most prestigious industry, tech. I found myself asking why the hell would a tech billionaire want anything to do with that place, it's outright decrepit in comparison to many Australian and European cities. The weather? I'm sorry but the weather is not even close to as enjoyable as, say, Queensland, and the beaches are incredibly crummy in comparison. Overall I had a good time there but something felt seriously seriously wrong with California in a way I had never seen in a developed country before. The fact that every glistening mega bank building was adjourned with a rainbow flag whilst a small shantytown of homeless tents gathered around it definitely gave me the impression that it is end stage neoliberalism, decorating itself with social justice so the middle/upper class can feel good about themselves whilst actual inequality is through the roof.

    I remember the good old days when California was the most prosperous and advanced state in the USA. The taxes were low, the people were nice, and this was the place you could pursue your dreams. I remember when it was a red state and would always go Republican every time in the presidential elections. I remember when it was proudly known as “Reagan Country”. Now it’s run by left wing loons, Hollywood and left wing tech companies.... it’s become a communist state ...
    In CA It's against the law for a restaurant to offer me a plastic straw but it's ok for Starbucks to serve drinks in a plastic cup and it's ok for me to use plastic Keurig coffee pods and buy tons of plastic water bottles. It’s against the law for a grocery store to give me a micro-thin plastic bag for free, but it’s okay for them to sell me a plastic bag for a few pennies that is 20 times as thick.
    CA is going to fine citizens billions a year for not having health insurance and paying for their own medical care, but they are going to provide free health care/insurance for those in the country illegally.
    In CA we provide driver's license to people in the country illegally, and you can list your sex as “X”, but I have to bring my original birth certificate, social security card, and two utility bills to get my Real CA driver's license so I can use it to board a plane since the Federal government no longer recognizes regular CA licenses.
    It’s ok for a homeless person to build a house next to the river out of plywood and tarps on property they don't own, but I have to pull a permit and pay fees to have an inspection if I do something as simple as replacing a window on my own property, and pay to camp in a state park.
    In San Francisco they provide free Safe Drug Centers for heroin addicts to shoot up under nurse supervision and provide new needles (also plastic), but it's going to be against the law for adults to Vape.
    In San Francisco it's ok to crap on the street but it's against the law to spit.

No California does not require its "citizens" to be vaccinated. Health care workers must be and teachers can get vaccinated or test instead. Documentation needed for REal ID is a federal requirement to fly the requirements are the same nationwide nothing to do with california uniquely. Covered California is one of the best run exchanges in the country and very affordable for most. If you are envious of the homeless guy living under a tarp go for it sell your house and try setting up camp maybe they won't come rip up your camp and confiscate your stuff for some time.

      Yeah he is talking about a net decrease of nearly 300k people of a state with 39 million. That is so imperceptible. If this occurs annually, it would take 4 years before the total population even moves down to 38 million. Honestly, it’s not a big deal.
