[QUOTE="SoCal_GT_Fan, post: 525052, member: 365"] I live in the Southern California area. Specifically in Northern side of Orange County. There isn't like a homeless epidemic out here BUT I can say that they are fairly concentrated along the riverbeds (Santa Ana river, LA river) or near train tracks. Some cities like Santa Monica and areas like downtown LA have a pretty high concentration of homeless people as well. But I don't think if you go to UCLA you will see much of it. That's a pretty nice area. As for the net loss of people out of the State.... From what I can tell from my own eye, I don't see it. There's a high demand for real estate (rent and housing prices are up) and traffic seems to get worse and worse. It seems the news is always talking about housing shortages and rents keep going up and up (the town I live in, a typical 2 bedroom apartment rent is over $2,000/mo). I hear about the talks about all the people leaving California and I think that's true (I've talked to people in Seattle and Portland and they hate Californians moving in and causing the housing prices to rise) but I also think there is always someone willing to fill in for those leaving and then some. I can attest that the cost of living is high. 6 figure salary but feel like I'm a middle-class citizen. [/QUOTE]
