I don't personally care about newcomers all that much, but I was born in California and the housing shortage caused by prop 13 made it impossible for me to stay without severe sacrifices to quality of life compared to what is possible in other states. That I may someday inherit real estate from one of my parents doesn't really change the fact that I need a home to live and raise children in the meantime, while my parents are still alive. So I left. Except that I can't help but feel that there is something deeply dysfunctional about a society/culture/place (CA) which makes propagation of the next generation not really possible. And whose children get pushed out in favor of extremely wealthy outsiders. I'm not complaining, I've simply accepted that in order to be able to raise a family, I have to join the long tradition of Americans migrating elsewhere inside of the country in search of a better future. But it sure as hell isn't how I would have things work if I were designing them from scratch.
