Given all the above well-documented trends, here are some questions for readers of what all this portends for San Diego’s future:
1. To what extent are LA’s and Bay area’s homelessness problems (and their government policies that enable it) fueling their population exodus?
2. To what extent are SD’s rent gains and house price gains due to arguably better government and conservative reputation (albeit now rapidly changing)?
3. Since CA state policies affect all 3 of these big cities, and said policies combined with our weather attract the homeless from all over the country (and now, from the world when they come to the US and pick a state to live in), what will San Diego’s future look like in terms of demographics, fiscal situation, cost of living, and attractiveness to business?
