Why Workers Without College Degrees Are Fleeing Big Cities

[Hater Eraser]

Ppl migrating from Santa Clara / San Francisco County are just moving to cheaper parts of the Bay area or Central Valley though .

Most ppl aren't leaving the state Im sure .

Ppl are choosing to commute from these places .. and that is brutal within itself

That literally makes no fukkin sense that bubble has to burst at some point. I don’t even wanna live in SF (heard that shyt was dirty af and it’s some triflin ppl) and I still can’t wait.

Dont get it twisted though .. San francisco is a GORGEOUS city . Ppl that visit say it looks better in person than a picture or tv .

But I still feel you . Its only 7x7 miles big also so its starting to be cramped af also .

Uber / Lyft and Amazon drivers and hella one-way narrow streets .. make it unbearable to drive in that mofo .

I know people making less than 70k in SF let alone the whole bay and they are either doing fine or getting by. Making 200k even supporting other people in the bay is still good as hell.

Yea I wanna visit one day to see the hills, golden gate, etc, but I heard stories about homeless ppl shytting on the sidewalk and shyt like that I was talking to somebody from SF when I was in LA, and she told me some horror stories too. Combine that with the high COL, and I’d rather take my chances in LA if I got my engineering license in CA.

The fastest growing cities are places like Columbus, OH; Charlotte, NC; Raleigh, Fort Worth, etc.

The largest metro areas aren't producing the same amount of jobs, especially lower-skilled jobs, that they used to. Other places in the US are producing jobs, and that's enough to ship migration.

This. And with a state that already has kids from Stanford, Berkeley, UCLA, USC, and regular Harvard, Yale, Columbia, Duke and UT-Austin pouring in, unless you grew up there and your cousin is a partner at a corporate firm, you're not gaining much traction.

The thing is that the jobs that existed in these areas aren't coming back. Before and after WWII, these cities were valuable because of their access to the ports. So there was a lot of industry. Companies shipped in tons of people, mostly white, from piss poor rural parts of the country to work for them. Affordable housing was built for them. That's all dried up now. Especially since manufacturing jobs have largely been shipped out of the country. Even before that, a lot of those jobs moved hundreds of miles away from the cities. Which by the way also helped to contribute to the decimation of black communities. This mess has been in the making for decades now and it's by design.

imo... but this is why i always say racists successfully ran out clock on us. We should've demanded reparations in the 70s-80s. We should've been had STRONG, black dollar when it relatively "easy" to get a home and business

now even middle class White people feeling the squeeze. cost of living is crazy now.

No fukking bathroom?!

Yes..

It was a scene in coming to america, with Eddie Murphy, when he moved into a appartment in NYC..

The landlord showed him where the bathroom was, which was down the hall from his appartment..

Gary, Indiana and Flint, Michigan are prime examples of this. Damn near 40 years of economic decline

Mid sized towns that aren’t as “glamorous” but still offer a nice array of amenities should be the new wave for young middle and working class people.

Cost of living too expensive in big cities
