[quote=no_such_reality]BG, I’m not sure what newcomers you’re referring too. The population increase is coming whether you like it or not.
Or have your kids decided not to create any grandkids?[/quote]First of all, the OP discussed this (supposed) future population increase for SD County. My kids don’t live in SD County and likely won’t move back here. None of them majored in a technology field, so there is nothing for them here which doesn’t pay much better elsewhere.
Secondly, deaths cancel out (or almost cancel out) births in a “natural” population increase (assuming illegal immigration is finally curbed or stopped altogether). In any case, this group doubles and triples up in order to be able to rent housing in CA for themselves. It is not uncommon for them to live 8-10 people to one housing unit. For them, this is a “typical” household size.
About half of American millenials have already formed households. A good portion of the rest ARE a member of a household consisting of unrelated roommates and have been living in this type of household for years (esp in expensive cities). For the half who have already formed their own households, if they feel they need different housing (ex: due to an addition to their families), they will simply swap out their existing housing unit for another one. That isn’t “new household formation.”
