San Francisco Bay Area Experiences Mass Exodus Of Residents

This is what the extreme alt-left does to a city.

It destroys it and makes it into one big fricking cesspool with high crime, gangs, homelessness, urine infested streets, graffiti, sexual deviancy, high taxes, gun control, stupid laws, etc.

It should be renamed to San FranSICKO.

 

All the conservatives of Cali need to get out before the big one hits.

 

They are.

And California will be left with just the extreme alt-left with their high taxes, high regulation, extreme gun control, high crime, welfare population, illegal population, gangs, urine infested streets and sexual deviancy.

 

This explains why home prices in the Bay Area are at all time lows ...


Right?

No?

Guess there are plenty of tech workers just jumping in to fill the gaps.

 

Without the tech giants of the Silicone Valley, the US adds trillions more to the national debt and would already be behind
China in size of it's economy. But you just keep pulling crazy **** from your ass and pretend it's the Coal Industry that really matters.

 

About 6 years ago I threw my name in the hat for a position in Burlingame, CA, which is immediately south of San Fran. I was interviewed by three people and the very first question they asked was if I knew I was applying for a job in one of the most expensive zip codes in the world. I asked them where they and their employees lived and they all make a commute that could take as long as 2 hours each way depending on traffic on the bridges.

Fast forward to 2 years ago and my boss's wife who is a traveling nurse went for a temp job in a Burlingame hospital and she rented out a single bedroom in a house shared wtih 5 other people for $1850 a month.

On the flip side, my niece shares a studio apartment in Manhattan with a friend and their total rent is $3500. But even though NYC is expensive, you really don't need a car, car insurance, car repairs, gas, parking, etc. I once heard of a single parking space that was up for sale in Manhattan and the asking price was $250,000. I don't know what the monthly maintenance fees were.

 

California comes in 8th place in regards to GDP per capita...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_U.S._states_by_GDP_per_capita

 

Per capita, it does. But it is the single LARGEST contributor to the national GDP. In fact, the "liberal" states of California and NY contribute over 20% of the nation's GDP.

But again, you just pretend it's the coal industry that matters ...

Gods - what crazy crap.

 

I lived in So Cal for 21 years, and it's not just the high taxes, the regulations, the traffic, the illegals, the crazy politics, if a person is going to live there you always have to wonder what they're going to do next.

 

You are aware the GDP is calculated differently today than it was forty or fifty years ago. If you are old enough you might remember.

The GDP use to be calculated by the manufacturing of durable goods. Durable goods that last 3 or more years like, trucks, airplanes, ships, automobiles, washing machines, televisions, guns, refrigerators, tools, furniture, etc.

Food, clothing, flipping burgers, toilet paper and how many toilets were cleaned were never included into calculating the GDP, they aren't durable goods.

But today the production of non durable goods are used in calculating the GDP.

You can't compare todays GDP with the GDP during the 1960's, it's like comparing apples to oranges.

 

progressives in San Fran should not be permitted to leave the hell hole they created.
let them rot in the filth they cultivated.

 

Then, we should build a giant wall, make Cali it's own failed nation state, and watch from afar as they vermin eat each other.

 

We're gonna need a bigger Wall...

 

You seem to hate it so much yet you refuse to leave. If I hate it as much as you do, I would be long gone. What's up with that.

 

I did leave. And my wife who was born and raised there said she would never go back.

 

It’s sad that libs ruined the nicest state in the country. I’ve visited CA a number of times (Reagan library in Simi Valley is amazing btw) and love it, but no way would my wife and I ever consider moving there.

 

There are still Americans who have the pioneer spirit who built America.

Before the 1960's, before the welfare state there was no free stuff in America.

Americans didn't depend on the government and weren't scared of breaking a sweat and getting dirt under their fingernails.

Which comes into play...immigration.

Before the Immigration Act of 1965 from colonial times to 1965 around 30% of the immigrants who migrated to America didn't have the pioneer spirit and got back on the boat and returned to their native country. There was no free stuff in America before the 1960's.

Most Americans not knowing history are unaware of America's emigration that took place for almost two hundred years.

True Americans who have the pioneer spirit don't run away from the problems they face and don't depend on government.

Legal Immigration to the United States, 1820-1994
The 1965 changes unwittingly ushered in a new era of mass immigration. The current level of immigration is actually higher than the graph below indicates because illegal immigration is much higher now than ever before, with a conservative estimate of 300,000 new permanent illegal immigrants each year. The result is an influx of more than 1 million people a year, with no natural end in sight.








Return Migration
Those immigrants who didn't have the pioneer spirit
Another factor in intensifying the impact of immigration is a reduced rate of emigration — that is, more of today's newcomers stay for their whole lives, rather than returning to the old country after a few years. Note that in the 1930s, emigration was higher than 100 percent, meaning that during the Great Depression more people left the country than entered.

Just cut off the mountain passes and a whole lot less wall is needed.

 

What a good parrot you are.

New Flash: San Francisco is unaffordable because of greed, not taxes.....

 

I have always found it amusing how much conservatives despise California yet if they think about it they probably benefit from California more than any other state other than perhaps the one the live in. A good portion of the tech in your computer, phones, cars and appliances were developed in California. The software/apps you use regularly on your computer, phones to post on forums, games for your console, etc were probably developed in California. The significant amount of the fruits and vegetables you consume were grown in California. The OJ and wine you drink. The movies and TV shows you watch all probably come from California. Imports from Asia all probably come through California.

 

San Francisco is the ball breaker. The closer to it you live, the more you pay. If you don't mind the drive, one can live ... let's say at Tracy. I live in Fremont, one of the most high priced areas for homes. I have not verified this lately, but in 1997, my city had the most over 1 million dollar homes with the exception of Black Hawk in the Bay Area. The reason is we have prime hill land. One must live in the hills to pay extreme prices. Most think it could be like Los Gatos or Los Altos hills or even San Francisco or some area of Marin County, but we have the most upper prices homes of all communities. Do we have the most expensive home? We do not. But we carved out a market for many who want the job in Silicon Valley but not the drive. We also attracted about half our city are Asians. They show up in this state with the big dollars.

 

that's a very unAmerican point of view.

and it violates the Constitution.

 

Most homes in San Francisco are what i call sub par homes. From the zero lot lines to homes that could be upgraded in fixtures, kitchens, bathrooms .... the rest of the home is ancient construction much kin to the 1920s. Having appraised my share of those homes, the thing that struck me is the garage door looks like a 1 car garage. But often the home has 3 or 4 car garages. The street level can't contain a 2 car door but the 1 car door fits. I have seen some very nice, on the inside, homes there. But they are old homes. Old means small closets. Toilets from the 1920s only with new toilets and sinks. What sells those homes is location.

 

sounds like a Conservatives dream come true

 

I'm not the one you should lecture about American "spirit." I see this "spirit" displayed on here by the RWers on here who wish CA to be wiped off the face of the earth or encourage "conservatives" to leave. Save your moral outrage for them.
