"The California Dream Is In Nevada: Golden State Expats Flock To Las Vegas Suburb
It's no secret that California residents, particularly people residing in the most expensive parts of the state (SoCal, the Bay Area) are fleeing in droves, displaced by expensive rents, sky-high home prices, unbearable traffic congestion and - oh yeah - increasingly deadly wildfires. As a result, California expat communities have sprung up in Texas, Arizona, Idaho and Nevada, sun-belt states where residents can enjoy many of the benefits of California living (namely, the agreeable climate and booming economy) without the downsides.
As the Wall Street Journal reported, Henderson has become a place where California expats can enjoy a better standard of living (and even have some money left over after paying their mortgage) while spending less time sitting in SoCal's notoriously brutal traffic.
...taxes and insanely high utilities prices (which, thanks to PG&E's bankruptcy, might climb for some residents). One Cali expat who spoke to WSJ says he saved $5,000 on his water bill alone in a year.
Net migration out of California topped 100,000 in 2015, 2016 and 2017, according to the Census Bureau. And between 2006 and 2017, a total of 1.24 million Californians left the state, never to return, the third highest total in the country, behind only New York and Illinois. That should hardly come as a surprise in a state where buying a home is only affordable for 28% of the population, as the median home prices nearly doubled between 2012 and 2018. As more residents struggle to get away, new births and immigrants from abroad (including plenty of illegal aliens) are the only reason California's population has continued to expand."

Has anyone mentioned that Liberalism is a mental disease?
As Ronald Reagan once said, "Trust but verify". But, that was in reference to Russia. When you read a post by PC, the new normal is Don't trust, and prove her wrong:
San Jose Current Rental Prices: Why Is It So Expensive?
From the Link:
San Jose and all of Silicon Valley have received national attention for soaring home prices. Neighboring San Francisco may have the highest rent prices of all U.S. cities, but San Jose isn’t far behind.
According to Zumper.com, the median price for a 1 bedroom rental in San Jose costs $2,040. Just behind Boston at $2,350, that makes San Jose the 4th most expensive rental market in the U.S.
San Jose also has the most expensive median sales prices for single-family existing homes at $900,000.
