Many people forget OC is not just a coastal county, but has inland cities that get as hot as the IE'.

There are hot parts of OC inland to be sure, but overall, even those areas do not get quite as hot as much of the IE.

In any case, it is obvious that millennials are headed toward the IE, and that is really OC's loss long term.

It was as hot or hotter in the city I used to live in OC as it was where I live in IE this year. regardless my electrical usage based n a year expense was equal to my OC usage.
Millenials are going to IE but long term someone will always pay to have the OC living. Eventually even millenials will get tired of a 75/85/100 mile drive

Why is it a loss since some millennial's do live there and are buying there? There is no room for all of them.

Remember that Millennials started to be born in the early 80's so the oldest is in their 30's and even in the past most people that age and younger could could not buy in a popular area. Many Boomers could buy in OC at that age because it was not as popular, had a LOT of open land and housing prices were not like they are now. Is it harder, yes, but that is simply life. Once upon a time it was easy to buy a house on the beach in SoCal but not any more.

It's a loss because the millennials take their resources and future resources (which will be significant) and help grow the economy elsewhere. If they have jobs in OC, that's even more resources being drained.

Ever since I got one of those "whole house fans", I haven't had to use air condition more than 2-3 times a year.

OC is not hurting for resources as housing prices grow and people who make or have good money are buying. It is like NYC which is not hurting nor has been for a long time over the rising prices.

Let them help the economy elsewhere. A good thing to do.

As OC becomes more and more expensive, it also gets older and older. Such are the consequences of very high real estate prices.

The millennials who have the desire to want to live in OC will have to earn it by obtaining a top-notch education in order to perhaps have the ability to by a home in OC someday; that's the bottom line and there's nothing complicated about that.

Or just go to AZ and also earn it, but you just wouldn't have to donate your kidney to own a home.
