New Yorkers and San Franciscans Leaving in Droves

March 6, 2021

San Francisco saw an exodus of residents during the coronavirus pandemic, with the net number of exits increasing 649% in 2020 - The California Policy Lab

Start spreading the news, they're leaving en masse. Don't want to live in  New York This U Haul Truck rental, is pricey as hell but it will get me out of it:  I want to wake up in a city without a mask, Go out on the town and not have to ask.  Can't stand the crime and fear, I want anywhere but here...  Yes kids, the Big Apple is rotten to the core and folks are  abandoning it–at least those with the case to bail out. But this  phenomena is not confined to New York City, which has been brutalized by  the inept, murderous rule of Governor Cuomo Bin Lyin and Mayor Bill  "the Commie"   Cori Sarno Villacres talks on Oct. 21, 2020, about how she and her  family didn't feel comfortable or safe in California — even feeling  bullied for their political preferences. They left their life in  Sacramento last April to start anew in Idaho.

And where are people going? While some stay in state but abandon the  once majestic cities now turned into genuine crap-holes, many are  leaving the blue states and head for red pastures–Idaho, Arizona, Texas  and Florida.  And boy, are they flocking to Florida. You can monitor this phenomena for yourself by going to uhaul.com. Look at the cost of renting a van to go from San Francisco, California  to Sarasota, Florida:
Moving a 1 Bedroom home to a 2 Bedroom apartment will cost you $4,295.00.

But look at the cost of going from Sarasota to San Francisco:
Moving a 1 Bedroom home to a 2 Bedroom apartment will cost you $1,595.00

Why does it cost almost $3000 more to go east rather than west?  Supply and demand. There are so many folks bailing out of San Francisco  and so few leaving Florida that U-Haul's pricing structure rewards those  stupid enough to move to California. I have been told that U-Haul is  even hiring drivers to take empty trucks back to California.

New York to Sarasota (I'm using April 1 as moving date for all calculations) $3,038.00
Sarasota to New York (1 Bedroom home to a 2 Bedroom apartment) $675.00

The ramifications of this massive population relocation will be significant. Loss of tax revenue for New York and California, more tax revenue for Florida and Texas, loss of Congressional seats for New York and California, more Congressional seats for Florida and Texas... Will the arrival of  northerners from deep blue cities be accompanied by the same stupid  political crap that ruined New York City and San Francisco... I took a pistol class  with a couple recently arrived from San Francisco. I asked the demur 70  year old Grandmother why she and her husband left San Francisco. His  reply was swift and succinct: "IT'S A  *-HOLE. She went on to comment that she and her husband were taking the  pistol class before purchasing a firearm to defend their new home...

San Francisco is a good place to visit but not to live.
There are attractions there, relatively compact and simple to get around in, but if you are on foot those hills will fix you!

Some folks told me a tiny apartment there is like $3,200 USD / month. I met low paid workers who travelled daily on the BART from Oakland to work there. They worked as waitress and earned money in tips.

The Silicon Valley people are cashed up and live there. You compete with them.
I saw a lot of homelessness there, but perhaps that is California in general because bums move to warm areas? Beaners flock to sanctuary cities.

Some people told me SF and surrounding Sausalito are the most costly places in the US to live. Even more than NYC. It seemed people found it hard to save money there. Some people I talked to had three jobs, and what kind of a life is that?
