The population has been decreasing in san diego for 4-5 years now as people move away from the high cost of living.
Employment is flat, wages are flat, cost of living has sky rocketed.
Its pretty messed up when someone making 100K a year has to spend half their take home pay on their mortgage for a tiny crappy house.
I really have NO IDEA how people make ends meet in san diego when they have kids here. The job market has never been great here.
People will eventually throw in the towel, the sunshine tax is just too high. Especially when you get older and dont do out door things as much. Why live in a tiny termite infested shack with two kids that costed 400,000 when you can almost by a mansion in other parts of the country for the same price? Crazy.
I wonder if its worth it sometimes myself, and I make a lot more than the average person. I have no idea how my friends get by who make near the median salary, they are suffering and always stressed about money.
