lkjkhfggd it’s also where a lot of great paying jobs I do agree with you the prices will not come down in areas like California until people start leaving in those bubbles burst but the problem is you have so many people living there now that that’s where a lot of the jobs are and also you have to take it account family and where you grew up I know it sounds cliché but it’s a lot harder to move and start somewhere new when you’re not from there but that’s why I’d never live in California as much as I love California’s lifestyle it’s just not worth the cost me and my partner make over 250k a year combined and we wouldn’t be able to live very comfortably in most of California especially compared to where we live(western NY) which prices have increased in recent years thankfully not to much but Cali is out of control it’s going to become a real life Gotham city eventually

Everyone here is saying "move to where I live"--the problem is that the Bay Area needs nurses, police officers, and teachers. All across California we have out-of-control housing prices, and lots of foreign investors in the Bay Area especially that buy up properties in cash for sometimes dubious reasons. We need to address our housing crisis in California, not advocate that people just leave.

This woman and others like her are the backbone of this country. I live in SF and the tech companies, which pay their young workers unbelievable high amounts, have created a housing and income crisis in this city. My home, which I have owned for 15 years has almost tripled in value. I was able to both rent and buy in earlier years in the city but now I wouldn't be able to buy my own house today. There was a burned down house in the city that was sold for almost $900K. I guess it is great for when I retire but keeps me and others locked into their homes until then and changes the mix in the city of just having wealthy tech employees living here. The tech companies have destroyed this area with their wealth. The greedy mayor and politicians here have helped fuel this crisis.

I commute 1 hour each way, sometimes longer if traffic is a mess.......ive been doing it for 33 years.....raised 3 wonderful children, now grandchild that I pick up each day because her mom commutes 1-2 hours each way each day.....thankfully I go in earlier to be able to get off early enough to pick grandchild up.........you never get used to it but just deal with it!

@jasonmeadows8510 4 года назад

If you are a software engineer making $200k a year, then $4500 a month is probably not an issue, especially if you're single. And it can be a very demanding profession, where you simply don't have the time to be making ridiculous commutes. Basically, paying that type of rent can be worth the financial sacrifice.

The solution is transform the bay area into Tokyo. We don't build high rises in this country outside of the center cities, yet we insist on increasing the population through mass immigration. In Asia, companies also provide low cost dorms for workers. Finally, California is CORRUPT and mismanaged. High Speed rail is a not gonna happen unless people are willing to pay a very high price for it. All over the world the rail is subsidized by the govt. Fed govt. isn't gonna subsidize California rail. Also, the water infrastructure is 100 yrs + and there are not even adequate reservoirs.

@davidferker8136 4 года назад

I did this for 2 years. Commuted from Long Island to NYC 5 days a week. 2 hours one way, so 4 hours in total. Not worth it in my opinion, there is only so long you can do this until your body and mind break down. I moved to North Carolina and now I make the same salary as I did in NYC, but my commute is 15 minutes one way, and my rent is half of what it would be in Long Island. This is why so many people are leaving NYC and other large cities.

We need to rethink zoning and built taller safer buildings. Also rethink transportation to a 3D way. Also if tiny apartments were a more common thing that would help as well. Like a tiny house but an entire complex, if I had the money I would bring that to fruition but I’m broke, I would pay whoever I had to pay, since it’s legal, to change the laws around in regards to zoning laws, and apartment size, and build safe, livable tiny apartments

This lady needs to move to the Phoenix area. Healthcare is a BIG industry here. RN's earn minimum $40-45K/yr and I've seen salaries upwards of $50-60K/yr if you work in a major "name" hospital. ***Cost of living, while going up, still WAY WAY less than Northern Cali.*** Average 3 BR/2BA home in greater PHX under $300K in nice suburban neighborhoods. Ethnic/racial diversity on the increase, this is no longer Evan Mecham land. Less developed mass transit but it's getting better. Freeway system excellent. Commute WILL be much better and nicer. Lots of transplants from all over California and America. Her son WILL be sought after by HS coaches, there is an effort to beef up HS football in this market. Yes there is traffic but a fraction of the Bay Area or LA or even Houston or Atlanta. ***Arizona's weather is WAY better than cold damp rainy Bay Area!!!!***

It sucks but we CHOOSE to super commute because the money is waaaay better in the cities we commute to. The job that pays her $64k in SF is probably less than $40k in Stockton, CA. (otherwise who would do it). It's a choice; and because it's a choice I don't complain... much, lol. TREMENDOUS RESPECT for this woman. I don't have kids... I couldn't imagine. Hats off.
