Imo, places like CA will continue to be very expensive for many reasons, so people will simply have to decide if they can afford to live here or not.

In the age of “entitlement” it’s interesting that some people feel that things like particular jobs or housing, or–you name it–should be theirs for the asking.

I’ve seen this happen with friends–especially in my kids age group. In the
end–after college, many have had to leave for job opportunities/financial reasons–in the hope that they might get back someday.

It was that, or sit in their parents home waiting for the “perfect job” to come their way, and waste those very expensive degrees.
