Goodbye to San Diego

Yes, we’ve seen that trend in the many years our families have been in CA, and it seems to have escalated in recent years among various income groups. The evolution of CA on many levels may have caught some people off guard, especially when it comes to the extreme escalation in the cost of housing for themselves and for their children. Many do not want to be forever renters, or to live communally with their families for the rest of their lives, so they’ve decided to make a change.

As natives, we’re definitely not fans of everything that is going on in CA, but we’re also not about to let any negative aspects, as we perceive them, prevent us from enjoying and thriving in the state we and our families plan to continue to call home for a very long time.

I hate it here but I’m pretty sure I’d hate it way more everywhere else. So, I guess that means I like it here.

Good attitude. While it may or may not be the case with EP, behind their claims of liberal politics almost every case Ive seen of people leaving was really financial. People that havent saved properly to retire or that cant keep up with the COL here. There is no shame in that, When we all came to CA everyone of us knew what we were getting ourselves into. Those who were born here know even moreso what we all sign up for living here. Most of the political rantings from my experience is sour grapes

There are a lot of places in CA I wouldn’t want to live either–so I understand that–but if you just don’t care for CA in general, I’d definitely try to find a place that has more of what appeals to you. Life is too short to live in a place you hate.

There are a lot of new grads trying to get started with a family. Even with dual incomes the high cost of housing in SD is tough for them to get started.

Alternatives out of state are looking good as they can swing a house on one income so the other spouse can be a stay at home parent.

I appreciate EP’s continued input.

Totally agree, Hobie. I have always felt that everyone should do what’s best for their particular situation. There is no one-size-fits-all in life.

[scaredyclassic]

Wherever you go, there you are.

That is so true. Probably why we’re happy exactly where we are.

Absolutely this is a tough place for someone just starting out. Having a family makes it even tougher. Having grown up in a nice home and having high expectations even tougher in an area like this where almost everyone makes compromises in their housing at all ages and income levels. People leaving for those reasons are making decisions in the best interest of their families. Being financially responsible is very important to having stability in one’s life and home

Rent a hotel in a cheap area for a few months, the collapse is nigh. Wondering why there was the impulse to pay over ask? Greed’s impulse to boost neighboring comps to facilitate a pathological appetite for more leverage.

[sdrealtor]

Typically takes longer than you think for declines to come. Gonna take more than a few months

[scaredyclassic]

It’s like a super slow motion car wreck. Or maybe slo motion and nothing happens

IMO FED raises 75 points in July, the whole shebang goes.

LOL I guess well see if my theory holds that TPTB will reverse course in a heartbeat once the whole thing starts falling apart.
