Macy's is closing 150 stores nationwide and you take this to be some sort of referendum on San Francisco? Concerns about the future of the store were rampant early Tuesday morning after Macy’s Inc. announced during an earnings call that it plans to shutter 150 “underproductive” stores across the country through 2026, including 50 by the end of the year. The move came in response to dropping sales and consumer demand shifting online.
some people are obsessed with California trying really desperately to make it look like a sh*t hole main issue with California, specifically Los Angeles and San Francisco and I assume San Diego although I’m not as familiar with that place, is the housing cost a 1.5-2 mil home will look like sh*t and is not justifiable at all when that same home will be 3x larger and better somewhere else if not for the housing, people would be flocking there…the main reason housing is so expensive is because of how desirable California is

I have family and business in CA so I’ve been there a lot and keep track of things. Yes CA’s problems are largely a victim of their own success. Housing prices have been through the roof for the past 20 years and there have been a lot of issues with building new affordable housing there. CA also is very disaster prone and like FL is one reason why insurance rates are so high. I agree that there are many problems in CA that are self inflicted and as an architect I particular see this in the amount of regulations they have regarding new building. CA though isn’t the hellhole that some think it is and people would be surprised at how nice much of Oakland is. The fact that CA hasn’t seen a large drop in housing prices even as people move out shows that there still is a large demand to live there.
@basso Highest unemployment rate in the country @Salvy @AroundTheWorld In and out burger closed because customers getting car jacked Everyone getting jacked
for all the people “fleeing” California to move to TX, I wonder…do they flee to Houston, Dallas, Austin, San Antonio, etc, or do they flee to Lubbock? I’d love to see the data on that
Imagine how less lax it would be had the GOP voted for the bi-partisan bill that would have hired more border patrol agents, put on more censors, more scanners, etc.
