The large media channels are beginning to pick up this story. We can expect many more reports in the future.
Here is one from CNN :
"One third of Bay Area residents say they are likely to leave the region in the next few years over its lack of affordability, according to a new report from the Bay Area Council.
A quarter of those polled identified the city's cost of living as its most serious problem.
Residents are also frustrated with the real estate market, with 23% citing housing costs as the top issue."

The next sentence rather oddly described the SF housing market as 'on fire'. I eliminated that, being struck by the unfortunate choice of words after the tragic Serbian Orthodox Church fire in New York on Pascha. The images were shocking of the entire St Sava Church being destroyed. The fire raged so devastatingly that it was not put out until 2 pm of Bright Monday.
I think that we must all pray especially hard from now on for safety for our parish buildings, priests' residences, clergy homes, old age homes, if any, and our own homes and properties !
Meanwhile, even the title of this article was strange : "San Francisco is expensive and residents are over it"
What does THAT mean ? Is that some pop expression ? - ! Or did CNN leave out a word ?
Why not to say "and residents are leaving in droves" or "residents are angry over the rising costs" --
