California is uniquely messed up because of Prop 13. There's way too much regulation to getting anything built, unless somehow less land starts to exist in States like Texas which don't cripple housing developers, it'll always be much cheaper to leave the Golden State.
From my time in LA I found there to be a very nasty spiral. Whereas young adults will never be able to get their own places to live, this impedes their maturing, and then you end up with 30 something year old brats who feel entitled to everything.
I don't even want these people as friends, nonetheless romantic partners. Once I left La I found it much easier to find amazing, hard-working folks.
- gautamcgoel 6y agoThis comment is pretty gross, even by HN standards. Me and my friends are all in our twenties living just outside LA (Pasadena). They are some of the kindest and hardest-working people I know. Don't blame the city for your poor choice in acquaintances.
- offtop5 6y agoI don't blame the kids who can't move out. California should have a better housing policy. I came from a very very bad home and luckily I was able to find a place for 600 or so. That's impossible now.
