What are some reasons you would leave CA? I know they say there's hundreds of people leaving every day but as much as I hope this will cut down on traffic and rent prices, it never seems to! What's that about?! 😂

If CA starts to sink into the ocean, I’ll probably leave.

HAHAHHAHAH you make a very good point.

The only reason I would leave (native) is I don’t want to keep working 40 plus hours a week to enjoy the finer things here in SD. At some point sooner then later I want to enjoy more quality time with my spouse and pets. Cost of living is extremely high here, but honestly the weather, beaches, restaurants, parks and zoos are amazing. We will see what the future brings in SD but looks like it’s getting busier due to all the new complexes their building are they are not inexpensive. Best of luck!

Non-native, transplant to SD. I love it here, I think it is such a gem of a city (America’s Finest!). The climate, access to outdoors and nature, city amenities and activities! I’ve loved every minute of the years I’ve lived here. But I will be moving out of CA within the next 12 months. Reasons:

1. Mid-thirties and finally starting a family
2. Plan to be a working mom and no family support here in CA
3. Desire to buy a comfortable home on a larger plot of land
4. Desire to build a real estate investment portfolio in US South (need to reduce expenses and increase investment rate to do this)
5. Desire to someday own horses
6. Spouse’s parent has recently been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s and he wants to be closer to help
7. Spouse and I both have remote jobs currently

I’ll miss SD though and will always have fond memories. Can’t wait to bring the future kids to explore here someday.

I’m with you. I’ll be moving too!

If you cut the population of SD in half, you would still have tons of traffic and high rent. The roads just aren’t big enough during peak times. And there aren’t nearly enough apartments and new builds to satisfy demand at low prices.

I’m on the way out though. I just started my own firm and there isn’t much keeping me here after that as my clients and employees can literally be found anywhere.

As an SD native, I grew up knowing that when I moved out from home, basically my whole check would go to rent. But I'm at the point in my life where I make a decent wage and want to be able to invest and save for a home and doing that in SD seems less and less realistic. I'm lucky that I work from home and that my job will pay the same no matter where I live, so for me, I would move out of California in order to save on rent and make my paycheck go a lot further than it currently is.

Idk when/if that would happen but my timeline would be around 3 years from now if I do.

So, this is a little awkward, but I recently moved to SD for a fresh start, and honestly, I love this city. My problem is I have been more of a homebody since I moved here and I'm a little intimidated to go out and meet people because I don't feel like I fit in here. I am overweight and this city is full of active, and attractive people. I guess I am wondering what my experience would be if I got out more? I feel like people look at me when I'm in public because I stand out due to my size.
