Goodbye to San Diego

And just to be complete. With those prices and no real industries you soon get…

worse than I thought, but I guess you just don’t see it in your gilded gated community

sdr:  you are right and I am wrong.  All the people and companies that moved to AZ, Utah, Texas, Nevada, etc. will surely realize the folly of their decision and soon move back to California.  I give up and surrender to your wisdom.

Demographics is….

Goodbye and good luck.

Some of those companies will fail in their new locations. Some will succeed. It’s irrelevant. More great companies will continue to be created here than anywhere else in the world. Some will stay, some will go. Some will succeed, some will fail. This place will continue to be the greatest place in the country no matter how much you continue your personal whining. You don’t have to say good bye. You already left to a place that is about to teach you a hard lesson

[EconProf]

“…greatest place in the country…”  Your quote.  Yeah, there’s some real hard data.

Here’s some real data to chew on in today’s news from a source called Credit News (via a neat site called Zero Hedge).

It names ” “The Best and Worst Metro Areas for 1st Time Buyers in 2024”.  Austin is #2, San Antonio is #3 among the best.

All 5 worst are in CA, ranked as follows:  Riverside- San Bernardino-Ontario, Denver-Aurora-Lakewood, LA-Long Beach-Anaheim, San Diego-Carlsbad, San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara.

So relax, sdr.  I’m sure all these people moving from the second group of metro areas will soon learn the folly of their ways and move back to the first group of cities.

Demographics is….

Definitely the best word to describe Zero Hedge, a doomer clickbait website that amplifies Kremlin propaganda, is “neat”.

(Source for the Russia thing: AP News “[U.S. intelligence officials] said Zero Hedge, which has 1.2 million Twitter followers, published articles created by Moscow-controlled media”)

(Source for the doomer clickbait thing: spending 10 seconds on Zero Hedge)

As much as I hate to contribute to this, the most tediously bitchy thread on the internet, I’d hate it even more to let praise for Zero Hedge go unanswered.

[sdrealtor]

Thx Rich and yes more doomer nonsense.

of course when I say greatest place in the country it’s my opinion. There is no data that can support a subjective opinion despite it being one widely shared by many not just here but around the world

And despite the doomer click bait reference it is tough to be a first time buyer here. It’s tough to be any buyer here! Listings are down over 50% in the last 5 years because people don’t want to sell. It’s also historically expensive here but everything is cyclical and in the future things will get relatively more affordable again.

The economy is growing and San Diego continues its ascent in the works of tech and life sciences. The industries of the future.

The only growth industry in SG is building houses and we all know how that ends

This site is about San Diego. Most of us live in San Diego. What happens in other parts of CA is relevant in some but not all regards. It’s simply your political whining EP and it continues to be a bad look. Everything you have is because of this place. You should be grateful not bitter. You and your family made choices that made it beyond you. That’s on you, not San Diego

[sdrealtor]

And yet another win! One of the most recognizable figures in the world just moved his brand to my little old hometown. Enjoy some Sun Day Red EP! It’s gonna be big, it’s gonna be baaad, it’s gonna be worldwide

Zero Hedge clearly leans right, but its followers understand that and can presumably separate the wheat from the chaff.  For example, what part of the HUD data that I quoted about housing costs prompting people to move toward some areas and away from others is misleading?  Is it not relevant to our discussion topic?

The main message of Zero Hedge is that our insane deficit spending now propping up the economy is a ticking time bomb.  It is like paying interest on current credit cards by taking out more credit cards.  This will blow up in our face and our children will rightfully blame us for it.

The evidence is piling up that people and businesses are “voting with their feet”, and San Diego’s beauty, beaches, and weather is not stopping its current population decline, as per US Census data.

[Rich Toscano]

Zero Hedge’s main message is “Please click this link.” (Closely followed by: America is bad, Putin is good, and we are all doomed).

Also they “lean right” the way Emporer Palpatine “leans right.”

Not going to get involved in endless loop San Diego debate… I’m just here to bag on Zero Hedge.

Somewhere ~ 2010 Zerohedge went to shit. Probably around the same time EconProf started plotting his exit!

Admits he quoted a politically motivated source. Tries to defend data source despite knowing its skewed and flawed

 

[EconProf]

Yep.  HUD and US Census Bureau are politically motivated data sources.

[sdrealtor]

Par for the course you provided no data of any kind. Just a vague reference from a third party politically motivated site. provide actual data with a link for a change
