Keep Your Heart, Just Leave San Francisco

San Francisco, the home to the Golden Gate bridge and Rice-a-Roni is experiencing a mass exodus. There are plenty of reasons for this. Living in San Fran means dealing with a lot of crap. And no, I'm not just speaking figurative, there are literal "crap maps" for Franciscans to use in order to <a href="https://hornetapp.com/stories/san-francisco-poop-map-ew/">avoid the primary spots for public defecation</a>.

The great move-out is nothing new, but it's hitting record numbers as of late. Currently the number of people moving out of the Bay Area is greater than it's been in over a decade. In the Bay and any large metropolitan area churn rate is just something that happens, but this is the first time in quite a while that the numbers moving out are greater than those moving in.

Joint Venture Silicon Valley's Russell Hancock spoke with the San Francisco's CBS affiliate about the matter:

<blockquote>“Silicon Valley has been this place that is growing. And it was mostly due to people relocating here and relocating from other parts of the world. That’s changing.”</blockquote>

Joint Venture Silicon Valley has even conducted their own study of the out-migration. According to their analysis, people are moving out to Sacramento, Austin, and Portland for numerous reasons with high cost of housing being one of the major reasons. According to Hancock, "The tech elite are having a hard time affording reasonable housing in Silicon Valley. That makes it difficult for employers to recruit.”

Operators of a San Jose U-Haul business say one of their biggest problems is getting its rental moving vans back because so many are on a one-way ticket out of town. In addition to homeless crackheads crapping in the street, crowding, crime and politics are offered as reasons for getting the hell out of Frisco.

Hey, on the bright side, that bridge that the proverbial scammers are always trying to sell the gullible should be far more affordable as the <a href="https://www.bizjournals.com/sanfrancisco/news/2017/03/27/san-francisco-house-prices-sales-falling.html">real estate hits a 5 year low.</a>
