Silicon Valley’s housing prices are out of control right now. There will eventually be a market correction that fixes that. But there are plenty of places in California where housing is more affordable. Not to mention, if you are employed here, you make more money anyway. But people seem to think California is only LA, Silicon Valley, and SF. LA is shit, and it always has been. So I don’t understand why people are like “LA has turned into a shithole.” It has always been a shithole for the most part. A shithole with some really wealthy areas.
