Growing up where the aspirants move to is such an odd place to be in certain social circles. Simultaneous jealousy and judgement.

But yeah. As an LA native, I don’t have much reason to leave. But it’s not like I’m some kind of sheltered, naive farmboy.

Are houses cheap in LA? Aren’t a bunch of people leaving California for cheaper property inland?

Yeah and a bunch more showing up. I think on a netwhole it will balance out.

If you’re a multigenerational Native and have some form of lockin that offsets the crazy housing price pressures, leaving becomes suboptimal. It’s not exactly fair but it would be foolish not to take what advantages you can get.
