Of my friends, many have left the Bay Area and CA entirely. Some moved to the Folsom area and love it. Many have moved to Idaho, Utah and Colorado.

I was in the South Bay this past weekend and was reminded of the weather and natural beauty but the number of people abd cost of everything is shocking.

Had a chance to move back 3 years ago for a job at Apple and glad I didn’t.

Imposing corporate abuse, neglect and greed on deserving victims.
