I know personally so many people who have left to go to Texas and Florida (I am so jealous.. just biding my time til I can work remote 100% of the time) yet California housing is so astonishingly insanely overpriced still. Like.. who in the fuck is buying these 1 million dollar piles of shit houses for 2 million? any decent 2 bed/2 bath apartment is $3000+ and a house with a yard thats decent is around 5k/month. If this was just inflation times I wouldnt be surprised since Cali has always been pricey so accounting for inflation is going to jack that way up, but knowing how many people are leaving here, WHO IS PAYING THAT? all the kids who moved here to bEcOmE a sTaR have moved back home during the pandemic, locals leaving en masse, people working remote for a Cali company and able to leave to work remote full time. I just.. dont get it.

Mexicans. Three generations in one house makes it easy.
Soon we're all gonna have to do it their way lol
Haha! I left CA 10 years ago. It was the best decision I've ever made for myself.
Hey man, the blacks do it too except they use section 8 so it's 3 generations of bums instead of 2 generations of workers and 1 in school. JK I know nothing about cali life for minorities. In my part of the woods it is very common to see nice cars parked in front of very shitty places because their parents survived on welfare and rode the bus but the next generation is working and haven't left home. That means your rent is free or close to free (think my buddy was paying $80 a month for a 3 bedroom 2 story apartment before his mom died). The parents still qualify for all sorts of help like food stamps, cheap/free phones/tv/internet etc. That means the kids going to work don't lose a majority of their paycheck trying to keep the house together. It was kind of neat to see a few local rappers throw shade at the next generation for that kind of shit.
