Anecdotal of course but I left and don’t plan to return. I also don’t know anyone who still lives there that doesn’t want to leave. That was mostly true pre-pandemic however.
- notsureaboutpg 6y agoYep. I left too. There was huge pent up desire to leave (pre-COVID) amongst most of the software dev / designer set I run with. COVID finally delivered the push it took for everyone to actually do it. And no one is missing SF honestly.
- whimsicalism 6y ago> I also don’t know anyone who still lives there that doesn’t want to leave. Probably because many came for their jobs. Plenty of people want to live in SF.
- tbatchelli 6y agoI just moved to a 3x bigger apartment for a 50% rent increase. Not everyone is wanting to move out, many people here seem to be trading places to improve their quality of life, leveraging the lower rents and higher availability. The city is starting to remind me the SF of mid-2000s, minus the rave parties.
