Poway, I don’t have any friends because I sit on this web site all day. Just kidding:) I don’t have numbers, but do have a few comments. We have relatives who are both middle income college graduates (husband and wife) and they left San Diego 3 years ago. They wanted to come back last year, but decided not to because of the cost of living. Better yet, my wife and I flew to Denver to look at houses last year. Sat next to another young couple at the airport and I noticed that they also had homes magazines and flyers and were gleeful. Turned out that these two college graduate consultants just bought a house in the hills outside of Colorado Springs! There we were, by chance encounter, two young couples fed up with San Diego home prices looking to relocate! If this continues, San Diego will be the city of the landed, wealthy upper classes living amongst mostly poor recent immigrants. The middle classes who form the backbone of a society are fleeing, including lower to upper middle class immigrant families!
