Perhaps, or just from the bay.

Over half of my bay area friends now live in Portland. I left the bay myself (for a new country), but not due to housing costs.

Eventually, making it a rotten place to live for anyone who's not a millionaire had to catch up to it.

Seattle, Portland, Austin, Denver, etc would do well to heed the warning. I'm sure they won't though because "mo' money, mo' problems" is a lesson cities haven't learned yet and there's no reason for them to learn it now.

As we speak, Austin is following in CA's footsteps. The very same ones kicked out of CA, are now voting NIMBY in Austin as well.
