Great video, Austin! I’m curious-when it comes to the pros and cons of living in the Bay Area, do you think the advantages have shifted in recent years due to the changing job market and housing trends?
It has shifted a bit, as unfortunately layoffs are unfortunately more common especially in the tech, but I can’t imagine a mass exodus of tech companies leaving the Bay Area, that would be a colossal mistake on behalf our local government. The low housing inventory is going to be ongoing problem in the area, so Bay Area real estate will remain expensive but if you can enter the market you can definitely build a lot of equity! Hope this helps
You did a great job breaking down the pros and cons of living in the Bay Area. Do you think the benefits of living there still outweigh the high cost of living, especially for someone moving from a more affordable state?
Happy you found the video helpful! - as for your question, I can't really give you a good answer without additional context regarding your situation - BUT I can say from my personal experience, everyone I knew who grew up here still wants to live here - even knowing their $ can get more in terms of housing in other states. Also people I do know who didn't grow up here and live here now as a young professional - truly enjoy living here! After all, a house is just part of the experience of living somewhere - so I think people are willing to sacrifice some square footage to enjoy the other "Pros" the Bay Area has to offer - hope this helps - feel free to contact me if you have more personal/specific questions!
@@LifeSFBayArea Thanks for sharing your personal experience, Austin! It’s insightful to hear how both long-time residents and newcomers feel about the Bay Area. You make a great point about the overall lifestyle and experience being just as important as the cost of housing.
