Obviously, you guys have not experienced a housing crunch like we have.


We're considering offers in NY, DC, and SF right now.

I also don't live in Louisiana.

But tell me more about my life

Bottom line: 1800 month for a 3 bedroom in a great location in a major city is absurdly low.

SF needs people to empty their garbage, make their coffee, and care for their sick....BUT WE CANT AFFORD TO LIVE HERE.

I remember reading a series of stories about this problem in the Mercury News in 1993.

Then leave, when they have no one to fill these jobs wages will rise, or decreased demand for housing will drive down prices.

California is a cesspool. It's overpriced, overpopulated, and people are rude. I have never missed the South more than I did when I lived there.


That's why no one lives there. REALLY?

Bye-bye. You won't be missed.

It costs money to live in a place where people actually want to live. Shocking, I know.


224,800 millionaires between San Francisco & San Jose Metro Areas in 2009 (and there are thousands more if you added Atherton, Blackhawk, Palo Alto, Woodside, & more to it)

– 138,300 households in the San Francisco Metro Area and 86,500 in the San Jose Metro Area had $1 million or more in financial assets in 2009 (source: Capgemini).

– #3 on the millionaire location list behind New York & LA (#2 if you added up entire SF Bay Area).

– SF Bay Area has at about .07 millionaires per capita, just behind New Yorks .08 millionaires per capita.

Not on the scale of this but enough for her to move back to the south.


I'd wager she wanted to move back long before her rent went up.
