Some people are working two jobs and can't afford the rent. A 550 sq foot condo goes for $300,000! It was like that in the 2000s then the market crashed but it is back up there again. Wages are stagnant and CA is ranked 46th in state funding per student in public schools. My friends in other parts of the country do not understand how it is. Gas, food, utilities, taxes are driving people away. We do save money on heating in the winter months and it is beautiful but there is a high price to pay.
