Looks like outside of San Francisco which has the highest job growth rate of 4% that the rest of the state has fast weakening economic conditions.

Los Angeles employment is basically stagnant at well less than 1% job growth year over year.

I have a feeling that when the next recession comes Los Angeles will be economically in a very bad position, San Francisco on the other has lots of IPO's composed of money-losing schemes that wealthy investor elites will be drooling over so they will likely be in a position where a metro that makes up less than 20% of the state's population will have to provide for 80% of the states population.

Interesting, how a state of 40 million people will be dependent on a single metropolitan area for tax revenue in a state with rapidly escalating social problems and third-world conditions.

I've wondered why they welcome so many illegals when they don't have the jobs or the housing to support the people.

CA can't / won't build low cost housing. Where do you put a million low cost people?

My coworker said you need to make $100K to live. Really unfortunate for the poor.

It's a type of progressives that don't want new development. That's what is driving up costs.

It's a mix of that plus NINBYism. NINBYism crosses political divides. It's really landowners vs. everyone else.

And it's very often a generational divide.

Thread should be moved to one of the city forums in California. This does not belong in controversies and politics.

We survive, believe me. Just saving money and waiting for the next recession to drive down home prices.

I use to love California and been there several times... Now I don't even want to visit... Or even think about it... But the people who live there refuse to leave and cling to low paying jobs.... Ironic for a liberal state.. complain about low wages but is the status quo in their own state...
