Yes, no fucking shit. This is known. Until something is done it'd be great not to be constantly reminded. This shit needs to be brought to action by our gov and elected officials, which won't happen with the current shit administration.

That's not shocking seeing as most of the country is in the same situation. I genuinely wonder how bad things are gonna get when people can't afford basic shit anymore.
Uh, I have about 4 months of rent left in my bank, a couple rejection messages from companies kind enough to reply, and desperately gathering scratch from inconsistent under-the-table labor.
I'll let you know.
... Well, as long as I pay my Internet bill ...
Im not trying to diminish your situation at all but i hope you realize how lucky you are. An enormous number of people ha e probably never had 4 months of rent in their bank account at any one time. I hope everything works out for you and you get back on your feet.
I really hope you manage to get back on your feet somehow. Wishing you the best
Haha thanks bud. Me too. Just in panic mode.
I completely get it since I've seen it first hand recently. My buddy lost his welding job because of the steel tariffs. Thankfully he moved back home and is okay now but not everyone is so lucky...
Yet Newsome keeps approving PG&E rate hikes for record shareholder profits. We need publicly held utilities and healthcare California should be leading the way but we’re stuck with this corrupt pro corporate neoliberal clown governor. He now has a podcast where he talks to Nazis.
With all the solar Cali should have co-op utilities. Have them run fiber too and we can have community ISPs.
He also approved NEM 3.0 which heavily discourages installing residential solar systems because residents were competing with electric companies, bringing their demand and prices down. PG&E WANTS you to use your electricity as muchbas possible so that they can have more money to continue building and continue raking in profits.
no shit son
And I bet this is below the national average. Wealthiest country on Earth people. We rock.
Might be about time for some change in CA?
What has any Southern California Republican done or proposed to lower the cost of living? Southern California has the best and most desirable climate in the entire world. The cost of living there reflects that. The only other places with a similar climate are hard core Muslim theocracies (see Casablanca).
Oh so there isn’t a cost of living crisis, it’s just that only rich people are allowed to live there because of the nice climate?
WOW lol
Also lol at most desirable climate in the world. Let me guess - you live there?
I live here. Shit's better here than any red state I've lived in that's for fucking sure.
Do you live here? Or are you just another conservative who shits on my state without having ever stepped foot in this place.
We’re in an article about a cost of living crisis in CA ffs lol. You’re saying there ISNT a cost of living crisis in CA.
I live in LA. You can find apartments here for cheap if you look.
The whole reason southern California and the Bay Area are both expensive, is because they are some of the most desirable places to live in the entire country.
Simple as that.
So you disagree with the article that we're in the comments section of? There is no cost of living crisis in CA?
Still waiting to hear what southern CA republicans have done for the housing crisis. Rather than answer my principal question, you asked another question. Unacceptable.
What have southern CA democrats done for the housing crisis?
Created it. Let it get out of control. Take no responsibility for it. Do nothing to try and fix it.
Don’t ask what republicans might do, ask what democrats have already done.
Still not an answer
Allowed =/= capability
I'm so confused. Do you think just because they keep going for democratic president candidates that Democrats are the problem?
I'd be more interested in seeing the governors list.
But setting that aside, the COL should be shown alongside the average income because just COL is disengious and doesn't show the whole picture.
High cost of living is also largely influenced by people's desire to live there. It's very likely that the Democrats are the fucking reason people WANT to be there.
Republicans might lower cost of living but only because everyone starts to fucking leave.
It’s very likely that the Democrats are the fucking reason people WANT to be there.
More Americans left California between 2023 and 2024 than any other state across the country, according to new data released by the Census Bureau.
The Golden State lost a total of 239,575 residents to other states, the largest net domestic migration loss in the country over the past year. New York, another blue bastion in the country, saw the second-highest loss, losing a total of 120,917 residents between 2023 and 2024.
Guess where they moved to on average?
unless your living in a rural area where its LCOL, thinking republicans will change, they wont they will make renting worst. nimbyism and zoning laws are the main issues in cali.
The point is that Democrats have been in charge for 30+ years, and things have been going downhill consistently rather than getting better, so what other option do you have? Just keep voting for the guys who have been in charge while cost of living spiraled and the housing market went insane and homelessness skyrocketed etc? What good is that doing?
You have no idea what you're talking about.
We gave the gov't 80+ billion dollars in taxes. Texas took 70 billion from the gov't.
Cool, you paid tax…..?
