I'm sorry....the New Yorkers are killing us locals in the Tampa Bay area as well... had to move an hour North. Rent which was $950 in Dec 2021 is now $1900 in April 2022 for a tiny 650sq ft studio in a dilapidated 1950s house. That was the thanks I got for faithfully paying rent through the pandemic and not damaging anything. Now living in an old RV in an RV park.

@Benny Hill 2 million illegals a year and the government is committed to giving them free housing. Oh look, if they use 1 million rentals a year, and another 1 million the next, etc, there isn't half that available in the entire US right now, much less 6 more million under Biden with a second term. Prices are going way, way, way up.

@@LetsDanceTampa the more people come , the prices will go up.

I lived in humboldt county for years and I have to say the people there are chill. I still consider it my hometown. Live in ukiah now and homes are shockingly expensive so we purchased a mobile home in a park near ukiah. Paid cash and we love the weather here. Sorry humboldt county wasn't for you but hopefully you find your own paradise 😉

Californians please dont come to conservative states and vote for democrats.

Same. And it's EVERYWHERE.

because we can't afford to live on this planet. You're actually right about that. Not under the current economic system anyways

You can thank every legislator, city council member, and al of the last few governors in California for bowing to environmentalists who scream for less fire management and more housing restrictions. During that same time, they’ve made it harder to generate electricity and stopped water storage plans from moving forward, all in the name of “progress.” That’s why I left 18 months ago and I’m so glad I did.

@@moisesaguirre1207 It has nothing to do with the economic system and everything to do with corrupt politicians in bed with unions and environmentalists. And I’m a union member who loves this planet.

@@verda_renee buy a house in japan. it will depreciate lol

I agree but that goes back to wages being a living wage. This country lost track of what that means and why the minimum wage law was created. The rich and large corporations have been undermining our economy for decades and this is why many younger generations are deciding not to have kids.

Can they atleast leave their Bay Area policies where they came from?

Unfortunately, history has also shown that migrants bring their problems with them. California is already a wasteland in most cities. The California migrants will ruin Texas and Florida next. I guess it's good that they're keeping it in-house for now. But the "situations and systems that caused or exacerbate displacement" are the very things they asked for to begin with. And they'll ask for them again in their new city.

_Amen._

All the reason people are fleeing is due to the laws they voted for.

That’s funny I think that’s how people from all over America feel about all Californians

That's why I moved to Texas I was priced out of the only city I grew up in

All four places you mention are highly desirable and yes the prices have gone way up. I don't have answers other than to move to another lower priced town. But if you were able to buy ad sell, then you'd have pocketed substantial amount of equity.

Yeah, I was kind of hoping COVID woulda worked to 'thin out' the population a bit, but it hasn't made a difference at all:(

@@tempest411 I was hoping for the same. Maybe if WW3 happens?

People move for a variety of reasons. In and out of locations. The places you listed are all desirable places to move to. To help current residents and new residents have places to stay, cities should invest in all types of housing, especially dense housing. And in addition, invest in robust public transit. It’s not easy, but it could help address the challenges you laid out while making the locations better for current and new residents. Hopeful that advocating for these changes make a positive difference!

In the ‘60s I heard the adults talking about Lockheed re-assigning a number of executives to Atlanta from California. Their wives were livid, thinking the area was peopled by KKK members in sheets. But they got here and found out Atlanta had a world class symphony and other things that made for quality of life. But - and Cali husbands, don’t read this to your wife- we have four seasons which meant that the wives had an excuse to buy clothes four times a year. When the execs were transferred again the wives didn’t want to leave.

Yep I agree 👍 I live in Rocklin and everything is getting built out here. So many people are coming here and making it miserable. Traffic, crime, homeless and expenses are all continually rising up and up. I'm moving up to Foresthill for now and if that don't work I'm outta here for good.

Who are you begging for these things you want? You talk about "weak" people who moved to Sacramento from the Bay. I have to point out that begging some other entity that you can blame for things and people that you personally do not like is pretty weak as well.

@@closer02001 Nope, not begging an entity.... it's the attitude of the people. Each person's attitude contributes to the community. We already have our job cut out as is. -- I'm saying if you have to move because you can't afford San Francisco. Please Don't come to Sacramento just like the original invaders... with a wound up aggressive irritability, an air of smugness, and assumption that... you, your way, and your vision is automatically better because it comes from "San Francisco".... Cause it's not😂. It doesn't mean you don't have your value and strength. It just means that.... -Sacramento has a Sense of humbleness, calmness, uniqueness that is beautiful and sacred.... We already have people that don't appreciate it, and ruin it....we need to reduce those numbers not increase them by "turning Sacramento into San Francisco". It's like when you add new fish to a tank... there's ways to go about it. You set them in a plastic bag with reservation and let them get acclimated... ---And you pay attention to the type of fish, there are aggressive fish...that just don't work well at all with non-aggressive fish communities. Those aggressive fish breeds are not bad....they just don't work well in a non-aggressive fish community. Those aggressive fish work best with other aggressive fish communities. So it would probably be best...to either read the room... instead of trying to be the room.... Or find another city more similar to San Francisco like L.A.? That is more aligned with your flow. Everyone will be much happier. But that's just my opinion. It's not law😁

Pure socialisms at its finest. DID you not watch the video clip!? This is the reason people are leaving CA. NO PERSONAL FREEDOM. MORE Restrictions on business will MAKE IT WORSE. Please study economics. Then you will understand better the circumstance that people are trying to convey through anecdote's.

If you REALLY want to put the hurt on them, build more housing! With more supply, it will naturally decrease the value of their investment. Therefore decreasing their incentive to buy multiple properties!

Best comment here. It will happen just exactly as soon as Congress all holds hands and stares down the Real Estate lobby. (And banking and insurance and hedge funds) So, yeah, never. It still is the best idea though.

Thank you! You are the only person to hit the nail on the head here, besides me. The unregulated real estate industry is killing the American dream and many cannot even afford to even rent! What is their end game? Just more, more, more money, as they could care less about people affording any housing, anywhere? These are the same people who manipulated the unregulated mortgage real estate industry that crashed our economy in '08! The Donnie tRump's of the world.

And also just increase interest rates so they can't leverage up.

Well said.

My thoughts exactly!

The greed of the unregulated real estate industry does not have a ceiling and they will not be satisfied until all non wealthy people are living in tents on the street. Oh, and fighting amongst each other for the scraps the wealthy throw out, just to see us kill each other as a rich man's sport.

You bought it at the lower point ! Great job ! I bought it at 2003 at Elk Grove ! Pay off !

I remember when my aunt's place flooded out in Linda, when levee broke. (And the helicopters removing her drowned horses.) Linda was nearly abandoned after that flood - as unsafe. Californians are increasingly desperate for "affordability." Some places - are not worth the discount. They are too dangerous. "Affordable" California is now in either extreme flood or fire hazard zones. I sadly, think it's best to just leave.

The parcel taxes Will be Raised

You need to be the top commenter here. Ground floor businesses and purchasable homes on top! 🙌 Enough with the suburb life of car-dependency

It's not helping in my area at all. High density is not the holy grail. Every where they've said it would eliminate cars it hasn't and residents own two cars per apartment. Traffic is now the number one issue getting out of town if you don't work within 10 miles of your house. Maybe SF is different but I doubt the economics of supply and demand are very different anywhere in the USA.

@@spencerhansen8374 High density has not been implemented the proper way here in California to see any results. To notice a reduction in cars in an area requires 99% of the daily/weekly trips for a home owner to be done without a car. Since we don't have reliable railway options or short commutes, the only other option is to allow ground-floor homes to be converted into retail, grocer, and dining business (as a start).

Yeah they tried that in Chicago. Gangs took it over.

@@firebolt100 That's already been done. It didn't work.

you know let me tell you something interesting... I remember me and some of my friends use to have an inside joke about California.... Cali is so expensive that even lawyers and doctors are basically considered "Working class" in this state! It is like you have to be a multimillionaire, billionaire or a film star to really live in luxury/privilege in Cali. Honestly, this somewhat turns out to be true.... because one gentleman even said " His son is an engineer and makes a $120k year salary and being a professional" can still not afford to buy a house and or property because most houses sell for at least $1mil and not only that... one thing this guy didn't mention... most of the houses that sell for at least $1mil are only 700 or 800 sqft ( which means very small houses) with $1mil you would at least expect a 5k-6k sqft house.... but not in Cali... so yes, very good points all made and the inside joke turns out to be absolutely true. Cali is just out of control!

That sounds harsh. I wish you the best; like Tropical Beach said, California is out of control.

yes, OC transplant to IE

Orange County has been expensive since the 1980's. I tried moving down there when I was 19. I was working 3 jobs and living in a 1 bedroom apartment with 2 other people, and could not still make ends meet. I moved back to Northern Ca.

California never talks why they have such a big economy thanks to federal contracts with the state, NASA, military bases etc and the state is one of the latgest with the biggest population in the USA! More people than the whole country of Canada. That said, put things in perspective!! Big size and huge population. Little Massuchuets has a stronger economy and better colleges and more educated too.

Go to Michigan! Its ten times better with awesome clean, safe beaches note

Probably not. No water. Housing is limited. Prices going up as a result. New developers have to find the water, so developments are one and two houses infill in cities, not big tracts any more. No new water infrastructure, no more housing, prices going way, way, way up.

It's not that hot everyday. It cycles from low pressure to high pressure continually. When its high the temp goes up. Most places are hot in summer. That's what summers are.

Yes They keep building but where is the water supply gonna be coming from in this drought there’s no restrictions on the amount of building that can happen which is disgusting because we already are low on our water and gruesome Newsom won’t do anything to open waterways this is going to be real

those open lands are part flood zones and part agriculture. I hope you like flood insurance and having less local food.

You are a special kind of stupid. "Miles and miles of open land..." That is farm land, and as someone else stated, land kept open to absorb when all our rivers overflow their banks. You can't eat houses. California is the largest Ag economy in the world. We feed the nation. A lot of that open land is either grazing land or rice fields. You gave away that you are a city idiot who is not in tune with nature.

What part ? I'm in the 559 Tulare County

That’s really great! I’m going to cross my fingers for you because what’s happening in the bigger cities will happen to the small ones in the next 10 years as everyone migrated to find more affordable living.

Yeah but the only economy in Hanford is agricultural based unless you work from home..plus the water smells like boiled eggs I would have chosen clovis..good schools and law enforcement that actually enforces.

Enjoy getting robbed by methheads

Is Vandersteen Audio still in Hanford?

Yeah but all depends on the lifestyle you’re looking for. Do I wanna live in the middle of nowhere? Nope, I’ll stay in the Bay

That's what I'm saying! Detroit is America's best-kept secret right now. It's the northern version of Atlanta with a beautiful waterfront and very cheap housing

I moved to SF in 86, was shocked at All the hispanics

3rd gen California. I too have chosen to stay. I am on our county planning commission. I can tell you that two things need to stop immediately in California. 1) Euclidian Zoning - we need to take a page from the European playbook on urban mixed use planning and stop sprawl and suburban building 2) Multimodal infrastructure - abandon the vehicle infrastructure and immediately support all multimodal infrastructure - pay for it with massive gas taxes that penalize gas hog drivers.

Good luck with that 😂

@@Nicomanism thats why you should leave California and then...... mind your own business in your own community.

@@mikeferrini8884 i don't live there mate. Cya

I'm not leaving either.
