I sure am. I live in San Jose (which resides in the Bay Area). Here’s why I am leaving.
- $2,700 per month for a 500 sq/ft apartment.
- Homeless people everywhere the moment I step foot out of my apartment.
- Smells like urine on many sidewalks.
- Literally half of the buildings are vacant or abandoned (in downtown).
- Human feces on sidewalks and entrance to buildings.
- Political and ideological homogeny. Keep your head low if you aren’t progressive.
- We’ve reached $4.99 per gallon for gasoline.
- I’ve experienced two car break-ins.
- Trash everywhere.
- High taxes.
- Crummy roads.
I’m paying a lot of money to live here, but for what? My standard of living is low. I’m leaving for Texas or Florida. Hopefully either of these two states provide me something better.
