Population decline was greater in 2018 and 2019 than 2020. Even then it was tenths of a percent. Are sure “exodus” is the right word?

- LimaBearz 5y agoIt’s not. I was born and raised in the Bay Area, late 30s, have family in the city thats owned in the city proper since the 70s. My entire working career was in the peninsula, 10 of which in SOMA. I don’t want to make this political it’s always been the same story ever since I was a kid. 1 - People who want to live here but priced out hoping to come at a “reasonable” price. 2 - Conservatives looking at the massive amount of talent, money, influence, power, and an intellectual power house of the world and finding any reason to possibly hate cause… we’ll I don’t know. It’s fine. Nowhere is without issue, yes it’s gotten more expensive, but so has everyone salary. Dirty little secret to the outsiders, a lot of places are matching or competing with FAANG salaries, and even with cost of living being so high you make more in the BA then you would otherwise even after factoring out the roof over your head, in more then a few jobs by quite a healthy margin too
