Because the general quality of life here is miserable and it’s a filthy area. For instance, in recent events the DA is fumbling the prosecution of a homeless attacker and the judge said jail wasn’t always the solution... I saw a guy pull his penis out on the BART escalator and rub it on 3 women! I saw another guy with a huge knife walking around the BART platform. Anyone who took the Civic Center BART would remember the hallways of heroin addicts with needles in their arms. And then houses cost $1M for a house where cops won’t do anything about people shitting on your property or camping on your property unless you have a restraining order... and then you a job you work 9-17 hour days at? It’s just not worth it. I just wish I knew where I wanted to escape to. Seattle, Portland, Denver are all nearly as bad and getting worse. Where are the normal people fleeing to? Is there refuge somewhere? Austin is seemingly more appealing all the time, but the weather and politics of Texas are turn offs.
