Ppl-media, politicians etc make things up to suit their narratives-they repeat them ad nauseum hoping they stick & fall into the common vernacular, sometimes it works..

Kat: " Immigration has been going on in this country literally since the day it was founded."

We're at a crossroads. We're going to have a 'Population Problem'. The time to address the Issue is NOW!
Teenagers from around the country, both under and over 18 used to hitchhike to San Francisco. High school dropouts used to move to Greenwich Village (NYC) to get jobs in coffee houses and try to find their way. It used to be possible to live in these places with little money or education.
I have a fair amount of education, and money, but I have a family. I cannot afford to give my family the size house they want in Silicon Valley(just out of San Francisco). It just does not fit in my budget.
There is too much demand for these places by too many rich people, and too much restraint on these places by those same rich people.
I do not mean to insult anyone's intelligence by putting where these places are in parenthesis, just want to make sure everyone knows, but I am guessing almost everyone knows.
I just would like to share some personal stuff on this note. In my family, the difference in one generation ... from whence my dad came and where my mother came from. I’ll try to show a couple of pics, the first of my dad and his brother, the second of my great grandfather on my mothers side.
My dad was poor. Dirt poor. My mom came from a mixed race Native American/Scottish family. They did well for themselves, raising a family of 5 and improved their status from poor to middle class. The American dream, as they explained it to me. My siblings and I have done well, some better than others, but we still continue to believe in the American dream and have instilled that belief into our children. I pray that my family continues to do well.
We have family reunions every year ... except for 2020, stupid COVID ... and on both sides of the family we have between 100 and 150 people show up for the multi-day affairs. We have a common bond of family and America. There are some who haven’t fared as well, mostly due to making poor choices along the way. A few of my relatives are in prison. But most have improved and our ancestors would be proud seeing how our raising took hold and produced.
I know similar stories can be told in other countries but I always feel so blessed and fortunate to have been born in the USA, and I still teach my kids that through hard work and good morals and ethics a person can accomplish whatever they desire. I’ve seen it for years. But I’ve seen the flip side as well.
In 2008, Paul Gottfried gave a speech called, "The Decline and Rise of the Alternative Right." Richard Spencer took that and was using the term "Alternative Right" to refer to what we now call the Alt Right. He claims he invented the term, but there is no proof he abbreviated it to "Alt Right." It is a natural abbreviation for anyone who has used the internet since the early days, and was randomly used a few times here and there online, until Gamergate in 2014. Gamergate had a lot of people talking about it who had been using the internet since the early days, and they almost always abbreviated it as Alt Right. No one could be pointed at and said to be the first.
By 2016, Steve Bannon felt comfortable enough with the abbreviation to call Breitbart "the platform of the Alt Right". Bannon is about 20 years too old to care about Gamergate, so we know that the word was in very general use by then. It is kind of like when you hear your grandmother use a term from rap music, you know that it is everywhere at that point.
trump got elected in 2016, and took office in 2017. Suddenly people from the Alt Right were screaming "hail trump!!!", but often it sounded a bit more like "heil trump!!!" They were flashing White Power signs in the White House as "jokes". Then came the Unite the Right Rally, where the Alt Right really came out of the closet.
Suddenly, Alt Right had a bad name. They needed to move on to something new. Now if you call someone in the Alt Right "Alt Right" they claim to be insulted.

Is that why they are leaving in droves?
Not a fact. Learn what 'fact' means.
Lie. Government regulations and price controls is why there is nowhere to rent apartments there.
So?
Nope. These cities have become hellholes due to the Democrats running them.

Define the problem. What is your proposed solution?
I suspect the next dynamic will be remote work which will remove people from expensive areas and the freeways. 5G is going to be a big part of that as it continues to roll out. https://www.opportunitylouisiana.com/cyber-south

Unfortunately not everyone in America is going to do better than their parents did........
Nor is that everyone's dream nor should it be........
God did not come up w/ that line & I rarely ever hear anyone but an occasional politician use it........

I have yet to see anything that you have ever posted that makes any sense.
Imagine trying to train a new employee both in his job, and in the workplace culture over teleconferencing. It just does not seem possible. Likewise, organizing a totally new team, made up of people you had not met before, does not seem possible. The micro-meetings that happen dozens of times a day would not happen. The chance meetings that created the great ideas, would not happen.
I have been working from home much of the last 12 years, and I have seen the problems. Our society can do it sometimes, and a few people can do it all the time, but if a lot of our people are doing it from here on out, our society will collapse over time.
You living in the bay area??
I was in Denver at the beginning of the pandemic, and there were about a few vans, school busses, and the like with people living in them. Rent alone is above minimum wage, so poor people cannot afford to live anywhere near a job in Denver.
DAMN THEM!!! They stole Hawaiian Shirts from me. If you are Hawaiian, then yes, I know they are actually, technically Aloha Shirts, but I am still mad.
They claim that wearing a Hawaiian Shirt makes them just silly enough that they can commit acts of terrorism, and the police will ignore it. So far, they might be right.
Boogaloo comes from the movie "Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo." It was a sequel that had the exact same plot of the original Breakin Movie. Or so I have heard, I have not seen either movie. The internet starting call any unnecessary sequel an electric boogaloo. So if they ever made "Titanic 2, Revenge of the Ship", that would be an electric boogaloo.
The Boogaloo's claim that the American Revolution needs an unnecessary sequel, and they pledge to overthrow the US Government.
I think trying to overthrow the US Government is treason, and do not want to wear a Hawaiian Shirt that would identify me as a terrorist who wants to commit that treason.
Do you find North Carolina that liberal?
