Newly released census data shows San Diego County saw a big dip in net domestic migration. In 2023, the County saw nearly 31,000 more people move out than move in, almost double the number from a year earlier.
You forgot to mention the high crime rates & homeless encampments everywhere that people are tired of as well. We are tired of Paying high prices to live in a shithole. Also perfectly good businesses that provide good jobs are leaving CA. It’s why we are looking to move to St. George, UT in 2 years.
Left for work in 2013, returned in 2023, and left again, this time permanently, in January of 2024. San Diego is more expensive than Orange County (lived in Irvine and Costa Mesa for 9 years) and LA (North Hollywood), the wages are lower, the few tech jobs it had are gone, and going out is ludicrous. The food was mediocre everywhere we went, the service lacking, the city congested, smog (I could see it coming from del Mar to La Jolla), sewage runoffs whenever it rains and beach warnings regularly - you could smell the sewage in La Jolla - it's cloudy 6-8 months of the year, the home prices are insane while the wages have stagnated behind the coastal California cities, including Orange County. The city is fighting for its identity everywhere you look. It's definitely not what it was 10-20 or even 30 years ago. At least, we had the surfer, hang loose vibe before, but now it's completely gone. I'm afraid native San Diegans lost the fight for the city's soul.
I’m moving apartments in June because my lease is up and I have to and I’ve found that because it’s “summer” season and everyone is moving that renters can raise rent by 400-500 dollars for the “busy” season just cause they can. That’s bullshit to me, and now I’ll be stuck in a lease paying 500 dollars over the actual rent price of my complex for a another year. That’s an extra 6,000 a year I’m losing out on because of dumb greedy rules like that. Have someone change that please.
Inflation affects 99% of us. Welcome to the club. We have inflation in housing, transportation, food, medical, clothes, school, everything. You suffer high housing inflation and I suffer high food prices inflation. I can't just go into a supermarket and demand they cut prices by 30%, why are you demanding housing costs be brought down? The whole situation is messed up, not just housing.
@@diegoflores9237 I wasn’t trying to signal out the housing market inflation as the only issue plaguing the United States. I was simply explaining my situation and what I am experiencing. I am, however, demanding the prices be brought down in the housing market because it’s ridiculous. As well as every other aspect of inflation. And you should demand it too instead of being a cunt about me explaining my issues. I thankfully have a job where I make decent money and housing is the last stepping stone for me personally that I need to live comfortably. That is why I posted what I posted. Don’t be a cunt dude, I’m not knocking anyone else’s issues or anything like that I was just explaining my own. And I hope one day you have the balls to step up and demand groceries be cheaper if that is what is affecting you.
I've lived in another state and out here I notice they don't upgrade apartments or offer the best maintenance services, then if people leave they just hike up the rent- they know there's not enough housing so there's very little competition. They want you to leave so they can increase the cost of rent.
All of my friends have left SD in the past several years. They simply can’t afford to live here, especially ones that have kids. This is unsustainable and eventually lead to serious economic consequences and quality of life problems.
I also forgot to mention our terrible infrastructure with potholes and crumbling streets. For as wealthy as San Diego is, we have street conditions that look 3rd world. Bad priorities, higher crime, homeless everywhere, greedy landlords, expensive everything. We’re definitely not paradise anymore. Nor are we Americans finest city.
They prioritized spending on things like bike lanes, contributing to zero emission goals.....while Sewage flows untreated from Mexico 🇲🇽......from botched real-estate deals, ongoing litigation from sidewalks , potholes, wasted water released from a non functional dam, to flooding neighborhoods. Not being proactive and a Fudicary of Finances has put tax and rate payers into a diffrent thought of mind that , there are other places
Lots of comments about prices being outrageous. Serious question: What specific steps should the local government take to bring housing prices more in reach? Do homeowners share a similar vision of bringing house prices down vs values going up?
@@minh13101991 I agree legislation is going to have to play a lead role in shaping how investors buy properties if this is gonna work out. That’s not going to please the small/limited government leaning people, but something has to give.
@@minh13101991 How about decrease all the requirements and regulations to build additional housing- theres tons of land available for new housing to be built but too many requirements and regulations to even begin building
Come to Oxnard and Port Hueneme, live close to the ocean with actual beaches for far less than San Diego. Oxnard shores is hidden gem, beautiful beaches with way more affordable housing as well in inland Oxnard. Close to Malibu, close to Santa Barbara. Oxnard, the secret is in the name.
Shit when I get my shit together im move to Fresno CA or Sacramento still in California but a apartment there is 800 Right now danm san Diego county is getting sad out here
I owned my house in mira mesa no mortgage and I still left. SD is not worth it unless you live on the beach , but im 47 if i was 25 I would definitely have stayed
Does it surprise anyone that Todd Gloria's lack of planning is causing folks to leave San Diego? Look at the situation with the Dam now we have to pay a high price for water simply because of his poor planning. We released millions of gallons of usable water into the ocean because of their lack of planning. Now we will pay a high price and hear about droughts when all the reservoirs are full to capacity except our hapless city that can't plan a short stretch of roads without screwing them up. I'm sick of this city leadership, they are destroying San Diego.
increasing the wages lol that does nothing to bring the cost of living down... typical california logic.... one thing that is for sure, if you work in GOVERNMENT you arent struggling at all hmmm think about that for a sec
@@ChrisTopherBunnell The irony. You're being a whiny little bitoch about the whiners. 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣 Anyone that sees this can go up and down the comment section see you whining about whiners.
Will do. Republicans have done nothing but destroy my life and neglect what they owe me. You are not welcome for my service in Iraq. I wish I was a divisive partisan asshole, like you, when you were crying about terrorists on 9/11.
😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣@@ChrisTopherBunnell So you made a worse decision and came to be screwed over by the sick, evil, corrupt and tyrannical California Democratic Party politicians and R.I.N.O.'s here instead.
Nice to visit but once you start living there, as I did for several years, you start realizing after some time the nice weather is not ultimately worth it.
News flash if you can’t afford it, you can’t live here. Do you know why I don’t live and work in Hawaii? Cause I can’t afford it! Do I cry about it? NO!
@@mr.centrist5789 why because I can afford to live in San Diego? Laughable! I bet you think I should go to hell too because I am going to vacation, in Hawaii in May! Not only do I live in San Diego but I can also afford to go on 2 vacations a year! lol! I also work a blue collar job, 40+ hrs a week, overtime, it’s hard work but I live here… comfortably. You get what you work for in this life.
Supply and demand. What do you think happens when millions of people legally an illegally come here. They all need to live somewhere. Reduce the demand and the price will go down.
