[quote=EconProf]Some weeks ago I suggested that this thread, 1 1/2 years old and now 13 pages long, should die a natural death, and I would try to refrain from commenting further. But like a zombie, it keeps on coming back.
But I must correct a couple of commentators that suggest San Diego is not losing population. As reported in early May, it lost 11,183 people from July, 2020 to July 2021. You can google it for the various news sources.
That’s population declining for the past two years.
For the longest time, San Diego was gaining population while the crappier cities of Los Angeles and the Bay area were losing.
No longer. I suggest the factors causing this sea change are only just beginning. Implications for real estate values in San Diego vs. comparable cities of AZ, Texas, Utah, Nevada, Florida–you be the judge.[/quote]
ZombieProf is back!
This thread is about more than you and SG it is about the constant stream of decades long prognostications about the demise of CA. And yes lots of people left SD during the pandemic. I hope most of thoise youngsters are enjoying life in their parents basement back in the Midwest. Because of them my wait at the coffee shop is an extra 3 minutes each morning
