More than one-third of Bay Area residents say they are ready to leave in the next few years, citing high housing costs and traffic as the regions biggest problems, according to a poll released Monday.
Of the 1,000 people polled by the Bay Area Council, 34 percent said they are considering leaving. Those who have lived here five years or less are the most likely to want to leave.
This is our canary in a coal mine, said Jim Wunderman, president of the Bay Area Council. Residents are screaming for solutions.

"The response: I read a comment on YouTube yesterday about this. The commentator was from the Bay Area and seemed to be at least somewhat neutral. The concern he had was this, look at the inflated property values in the Bay Area. People have invested heavily in homes that have become terribly inflated over the last several decades. Fairly ordinary houses priced in the hundreds of thousands and even millions of dollars. Imagine what would happen to property values if one third of the folks in this area have to go back to Mexico or wherever. This is what is generating the fear these libtards are reacting to.
Myself, I dont live there and these folks cheered while 0bama screwed the rest of the country in their favor so I say it is their turn but this is an aspect of the current events that I had not considered.
I think it is a legitimate concern.
This article is from a year ago this coming Monday and precedes Trump's election. I wonder what a repeat poll would find now.
I went to college there. . . on Mackinac Island, no less. I liked it.
“Do You Know the Way OUT of San Jose?”
There’s a college on Mackinac Island?
This is bad news for the rest of us! Right now all those libtards are confined to one area; this suggests they’ll migrate elsewhere and try to change their new locations to be the hellhole they came from.
Yep, that guy is shoveling snow off his garage roof.
And keep out of Arizona-we have no A/C days and the giant scorpions will eat your small pet or child
Please Dear God make them stay. Don’t let them infect the rest of the country with the disease that they’ve inflicted on the Bay Area.
This is why the Left self-identifies as “progressive” -— just like the political and social cancer they are.
This is our canary in a coal mine...?
How so...? It’s all according to the liberal agenda!!!
My dad bought a new four bedroom, two and a half bath house in East San Jose, for $41,000 in 1972.
I don’t know the precise assessed value today, but I’m pretty sure it’s north of $1.5 million.
Don’t come to Colorado. We have ticks, snow, predator bears and mountain lions.
Bad traffic and high housing costs are going to be the least of their problems when the tribes and the ferals go full tilt.
Stinks of Urine ?
—don’t go to Nevada—unfriendly atmosphere, miserable weather, lots of guns in the rural areas, mountain lions, snakes, lizards, etc.,-—anyhow , we already have our quota of SF liberal types-—

Doesn’t look like leaving for Mexico has 1 thing to do with it and is not even mentioned. Jeez
