- soperj 8y agoThat's very true.
- moorhosj 8y agoIs the cost of housing a barrier?
- pm90 8y agoIf you're asking this seriously... yes it is a barrier, but not as great as Immigration/moving to a completely new country. Which is not to discount California's tremendous housing crunch. I am merely pointing out that its a much lower risk for a young single US citizen to just move to CA, try it out for a few months, if they can't get a job or make it, then just drive back. It is much harder for people from outside the country to do the same.
- ironjunkie 8y agoNot really. The cost of housing is huge and a barrier if you are not in tech, But if you move for tech you can definitely find a place and pay the crazy rent with your new salary.
