+C Johnston I can see how working as a person that is flown to these destinations so they can replenish the lack of vans could be a very good job if they don't make people rush to return to the locations, provide nice accommodations for the trip back to the Bay Area, and provides decent benefits! Some of those trips would make many people very comfortably Upper Middle Class while also getting an opportunity to see their beautiful country!
So people are paying 3 or 4 thousand dollars to haul a bunch of used junk, that they would not be able to sell for half that. Just set it on fire, and buy some plane tickets.
I had to haul my legally owned firearms and legally bought ammunition to my new home. That shit ain't light and no way in hell would I let other people, let alone strangers, have unsupervised access to them.
Ja C you just don't pick up and move you do research and find a apartment were you're going to move and mail it to youre self and make sure you sign for the package
El Diablo that's what I did. Sold what I could and purchased used shit on Craigslist at my new location . Renting a truck and spending 3-4k to move across the country some used cheap furniture made no sense lol
@@cesaravila4053 what's wrong with texas? l would have no problem living there, but arizona has looser gun laws so l chose that. in fact l think l can hear gun shots right now (not even joking) they actually made it legal to shoot animals in your back yard with in city limits as long as you're using rat shot or something. l love this state.
Nobody wants to live in AZ aka the armpit of America.. I'll stay here in California until it goes underwater. Then I'll move to Phoenix when it becomes a Beach town..
I don't know, they voted for it. Why run after voting in politicians who push for higher taxes, less infrastructure upkeep priority, and make more welfare programs that ultimately increase taxes?
S.F. and L.A. both have sky high taxes, but the infrastructure doesn't seem to be any better than in Houston or Kansas City. In fact, every government service in California's larger cities is 3Rd or 4Th rate. Where's all the $$$ going?
MrPlymouthsundance Homeless people are popping up by the day everywhere, not just California...But, California is not a livable place anymore unless your really rich and even then you still have to worry because it won't be long until businesses leave too then what? I left Santa Monica in 1998 and it was starting to get bad at that point.
MrPlymouthsundance lool same I got $10k cash in my safe and whatever I can save goes directly to my savings account because the rent hikes here are too unpredictable.
America has so much more out there thats more beautiful and affordably than what California has become nowadays. The American dream still lives outside of California borders.
Even leaving, Bay Area manages to slap you in face one last time with ridiculous prices lol. Here I am in Utah just living the life, sure doesn't have much anything to do but at least I can save a lot of money, have a nice decent sized home, and less people to do deal with.
I love how conservatives are against birth control and abortion but complain about overpopulation. We need a SWIFT DEATH PENALTY and PROMOTE abortion and birth control here and in Mexico Africa Middle East.
Leave while you can! Several homes in my neighborhood have gone up for sale; Moving trucks from multiple moving companies (not only Uhaul) have been seen around my neighborhood making a run for it. It truly feels like an exodus!! It's so tough to make a rental reservation without outrageous rates, we're nearly considering selling everything and starting fresh elsewhere! Good luck to those who are leaving as well.
@@sharondavis3606 I seriously doubt that because of all of the foreign investors who want to make an outrageous profit off of selling these California houses to the next greedy investors. 🙄 Henrique.
It based on truck inventory, the more trucks leaving the less they have to rent out. So if you moving out and take the truck one way you are removing inventory from that location. Now if you renting a truck one way and bringing it into the area that has less trucks you get charged less cause you actually helping them by bringing inventory into a area that to give them more trucks to use in that area. While I'm sure there other factors this is one of them.
$4000 is ridiculous. I’d just sell everything on Craigslist/Let go and drive my car with some personal stuff to my new home. You could also rent a utility trailer and tarp it to keep most of the moisture out. A lot of ways people could avoid this. Be smart with your money.
I tried to rent a U-Haul van to move from San Francisco to Oregon two months ago. My brother (who helped me move up to Oregon) and I couldn't find one available in the Bay Area. I rented a 10' truck, which was more than I needed, and it cost me $1,600+. I thought it sucked, but didn't think much more about it until I started to see stories like this. Now it makes sense; supply and demand.
I live in northern bay area at a city called Vallejo (25 min north of San Francisco and 20 min south of Napa). I have a home mortgage for $900 that has 3 beds and two bathrooms. It is truly in the eye of the beholder. I am blessed and so can you.
DAN LAROCA it's not about democrat or republican. Arnold was a republican a d ruined this state also. It's the tech companies and the h1b visa people they hire driving up the cost of living
Well Republicans talk like that like as if Republican states are faring better..? Last time I checked the states that require that most federal assistance compared to the tax dollar they pay, are right wing Republican states... so for every dollar Mississippi or Louisiana or Arkansas pays in taxes...they require back 2 to 3 dollars in welfare and aid... Where does all that money come from..? California, New York, Delaware, Minnesota, mostly left leaning Democratic states... they are called donor states... Without these states US would basically be Mexico...
With two party politics you can rest assured that you will always be able to blame the other guy. Do states stop working when they turn liberal or do they turn liberal when things stop working?
they go perpetually back and forth. just look at the presidency. repubs are better if you're rich, demos are better if you're poor. for people in the middle it's a toss up.
Here in the Sierra foothills bay area high tech folks are renting U-Haul trucks and taking them to the bay area to load up and bring here to homes they have bought. Or a rental that is $1k versus the $3k they were paying in San Francisco/Palo Alto. Cheaper to commute from Jackson CA via Amtrak in Stockton to San Jose than live in San Jose and surrounding areas. Our family has been in California since 1867 and there is NO way any of us will leave the state!!
As a native California there are so many things to LOVE about the state. Could never live in a landlocked area of the states. Love that we can be skiing at Tahoe or Big Bear 9-11am, then drive home and be able to go surfing by 3-5pm. Mountain climbing (real mountains 10k+) desert camping and backpacking, hiking the beautiful diverse micro climate Pacific Coast Trail from San Diego to the Oregon border. Magnificent wild water rivers, ocean beaches from Oregon to the Mexico border. And the San Francisco bay areas has more Noble laureates than any other state or country. And between Stanford (our school) the University of California campuses, and USC our universities always rank in the top ten universities both here in the states and in the world. An awesomely diverse ethnic, racial, religious, economic, educational population which I love. People with big dreams who know it will take hard hard work to be a success here in California are still coming here!
SF Bay Area population is approaching 8 million people. To compare, the entire state of Idaho has less than 2 million people. I'm glad people are moving out...really really great news.
California is not for the weak minded. Only the smartest and the richest can lived here. Stupid and lazy people usually went to texas because they can't compete in real advance world.
NNT , Oh my democrat cool-aid drinking friend. I believe the smart ones are leaving. The rich ones are surrounding themselves with brick walls, iron Gates and armed bodyguards.
Why is Liberal California the 5th largest economy in the world surpassing the UK? www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-california-economy-gdp-20180504-story.html tickyyyy tockkkky you toooooked at insulting. Try harder next time sonny boy.
To anyone leaving California: Leave your Democrat Liberal politics at the border, don't bring your ruinous political cancer to the Red States that you're fleeing to, after your political cancer has metastasized and destroyed the State that you're running from.
Those are staggering numbers but I don't blame them a bit. One-way trips require either enough return one-way trips or a U-Haul employee to drive it back at a HUGE loss to the company, easily several hundred dollars once wages, fuel costs, and maintenance are all added in.
Wow, is California, especially the Bay area, really that expensive? I lived in the upper Midwest all my life so far and living here is reasonable and in some areas really cheap (probably because we get hit hard in the winter) so I can't fathom paying a lot for rent or a house, but I heard that an apartment in San Francisco can go as high as $2000 a month, which is ridiculous considering I only pay $850 a month for my 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom house in my quiet area.
rahkin rah Haha thanks but those people wouldn't last one winter in my neck of the woods. They probably don't even own a shovel or even know how to shovel snow.
What's up with all the comments blaming liberalism as the reason people are leaving? People are not leaving because this state sucks. People are leaving because of the capitalism that conservatives are supposed to love. You know, supply and demand. The supply is low and the demand is high and some people can't handle the prices so they're tapping out.
I don't think anyone is moving to Kentucky dude. These people are very well educated and are moving to other major less expensive cities. San Francisco is one of the most expensive cities in the entire world. So this makes complete sense.
when we were leaving california pack rat was actually out of containers and u-haul and penske were low on trucks. we had to go a long way to get our truck and pack rat had to have more containers shipped in.
Little 450 sq foot studio in San Diego was $750 a month including free utilities back in 2007. Same apt today is $1050 not including utilities today. Apt complex was a thriving place full of life but now it's got like 8 cars in the entire place. Glad I moved
It is rather surprising that the CA legislatures haven't moved to regulate U-Haul pricing on out-of-CA moves and force it to be comparable to any given opposite direction costs.
And I thought it was bad when I lived outside Sacramento from 2008-2010. I do love California, but I just can't afford to live there. Happy here in the Dallas area now. Looking forward to my next California trip later this year.
It's all about truck saturation. Cost less to go where they have fewer trucks. If a large number of trucks are leaving a given area one way, they have to bring them back somehow. It's not that the price going out is high, it's the price going in is discounted. I paid $350 for a one way truck going less than a hundred miles in missouri. If I had brought it back to same place would have been $180.
When you include that the Democratic Party has Californians paying an additional 15% state income tax and one of the countries highest property taxes on top of the 30% federal income tax, it's really expensive. And that's not including the 9% sales tax, 50 cents per gallon gas taxes, bridge/road tolls, DMV fees and smog inspection and certificate, soda tax, recycle drink container fees, cigarette tax, it all starts to add up, especially when you consider already living in an area with high housing costs, congested traffic, high crime, homeless crisis and sanctuary for criminal illegals.
Leaving NY next couple years moving down south I hate it. It's super expensive you work for god awful hours with a god awful commute. It's over rated to say the least
One day the greedy rich people will realize there nobody to cook there food at the restaurants they go to or clean the public bathrooms they use and all those min wage jobs people do. Because they all left. The rich screwed themselves in the long run. Hahahahaha.
That's not the point. The point is, where are they going to *live* if everywhere is so expensive? There comes a point where you literally just can't afford to live in a city and the commute would be too long and expensive to be practical, so even if they are illegal, they're gonna have to find some place else to live.
I've said this before. But, this sounds like a real estate scam. Drive people out, prices drop, rich buy the land cheap, resell for millions in profit.
Used to live in the Bay... can confirm it’s crazy like this. Though it’s a beautiful city to live in... it truly this expensive. I read an article some where and it said making 100K a year in the Bay is pretty much minimum wage.
I ran away two and a half years ago... Miss the central coast ocean ... Where I'm at in Phoenix. . Life is so much easier . . . Amenaties are closer ... Still needing a church home but other than that & the summers heat I likes it here!
Can we wall california off like in the movie escape from LA without the disaster, also what stops someone from driving first to las vegas, getting the uhaul then driving it to california and back?
When I moved out of San Jose, I took a shipping container instead of a truck. You load the shipping container,Then U haul drives it to your new city. Folks should look into that.
I bought a fixer upper home 19 years ago for 140k wife and I paid it off on a 15 year loan as of right now I can list it for 800k. No complaints here about cali except traffic we are selling soon and moving to the mountains. ....life is good.
I'm going to school to become a RN just so that I can stay in California, idgaf bout the money, this state is a beauty. That's why it's considered the Golden State 🤩
I am a snow bird I go from NC to Maine. It cost twice as much to drive a uhaul from Maine to NC as opposed to driving it from NC to Maine. I asked why is this so? they told me snow birds are taking their equipment from north to South. My brother was going to rent a trailer in Maine, for 50 dollars more we purchased a new trailer on sale at lowes. The term going south is profits for uhaul
So, rent a self-move truck from a business in Nevada or some other state bordering California, drive to the Bay area, load the moving boxes in the truck, drive back to the bordering state where the truck was picked up. Then either put the moving boxes in storage there until you have found a new residence or rent a different truck at a cheap rate, transfer the load to that truck and drive to your destination. Sure, this is an extra day or two of driving, but why give the truck rental company excess profit when you can keep that extra money in your own pocket? Or you could just sell most of your stuff on Craig's List or eBay before the move, load up your car's trunk with the minimum clothing you need and just drive away to live someplace far less expensive -- buy new stuff at your destination. Keep in mind that most of the furnishings and window treatments from that small Bay Area apartment just won't work in that much larger condo or rented house in a state east or north of California.
I live is SoCal and I'm seriously thinking about moving my business to a low cost of living state. I pay my workers ~$40 per hour and it is still hard for them to make ends meet or afford housing. I could pay someone ~$20 per hour in Ohio and they would be just fine and have a higher standard of living. California has decided that it values welfare and open borders more than it does the productive class. It wont be long before the entire state looks like Baltimore.
Now I see why it's been difficult to get job at casino hotel. Damn man, now vegas rent going to spike too. Wonder if exodus will drive down rent because supply demand.
every spring is hard to find trucks due to the students all graduating and moving home. PS all of them have drivers moving trucks back to where they are coming from - employment opportunity.
At these prices just buy a truck and sell it when you get to your destination.
C Johnston literally, been seeing used box trucks going for $2,000-5,000
Good point brother
Or drive the Uhaul back to the Bay Area and take a plane back to your new home.
C Johnston Or at least a trailer.
+C Johnston I can see how working as a person that is flown to these destinations so they can replenish the lack of vans could be a very good job if they don't make people rush to return to the locations, provide nice accommodations for the trip back to the Bay Area, and provides decent benefits!

*Question:* Why does it cost so much more to leave California?

Sky high housing costs, traffic congestion, sky high taxes, and do you expect people to stay there and rot alive?

kansasthunderman1 yes.

That's why I left California to Las Vegas!! Well that's one of the reasons, the other reason are the lame ass gun laws in California!
Little 450 sq foot studio in San Diego was $750 a month including free utilities back in 2007. Same apt today is $1050 not including utilities today. Apt complex was a thriving place full of life but now it's got like 8 cars in the entire place. Glad I moved
*I Commute from Sacramento, that's how far I had to move to get a decent place*
I left Sacramento because it was becoming a shithole.
I just wanna get out the neighborhood how much will that cost?
Keep Texas ...Republican
Texas will become..... blue in the upcoming years! Imagine a liberal Texas!
@@Mr.Legend_Speaks not with my family going to Texas!
It is rather surprising that the CA legislatures haven't moved to regulate U-Haul pricing on out-of-CA moves and force it to be comparable to any given opposite direction costs.
Please people stay in california and dont leave.

California is expensive depending on where you live and fresh water availability is hitting more states than just them.
They need trucks in the Bay Area, so they're almost paying YOU to drive the truck into the Land of Fruits an Nuts!
i Am from CALIFORNIA and i approve this message!
California is only about the weather..
So would this cause prices to go down? Which means we can move there and it should be pretty affordable soon.
Golden Gate Bridge suicide-safety net. It's up and running, right?
Scott Spiro no it’s a myth
And I thought it was bad when I lived outside Sacramento from 2008-2010. I do love California, but I just can't afford to live there. Happy here in the Dallas area now. Looking forward to my next California trip later this year.
White flight.
animalgrabber ....at the speed of light!
It's all about truck saturation. Cost less to go where they have fewer trucks. If a large number of trucks are leaving a given area one way, they have to bring them back somehow. It's not that the price going out is high, it's the price going in is discounted. I paid $350 for a one way truck going less than a hundred miles in missouri. If I had brought it back to same place would have been $180.
pick the truck up in Sacramento take to San Jose move
The lots for U-haul in SF is very expensive so they have smaller with fewer trucks. Lots of people in a condensed area
When you include that the Democratic Party has Californians paying an additional 15% state income tax and one of the countries highest property taxes on top of the 30% federal income tax, it's really expensive. And that's not including the 9% sales tax, 50 cents per gallon gas taxes, bridge/road tolls, DMV fees and smog inspection and certificate, soda tax, recycle drink container fees, cigarette tax, it all starts to add up, especially when you consider already living in an area with high housing costs, congested traffic, high crime, homeless crisis and sanctuary for criminal illegals.
Wolverines Fight : Yep .... That just about covers it.......
Go Californians!! The smart ones are getting the hell out!
If you bought your house decades ago, CA is not that really expensive.
Sounds like a job opportunity for someone who wants to stay and drive all those UHAUL trucks back to the Bay Area.
uh oh...people in California just realized that there are 49 other states!
Leaving NY next couple years moving down south I hate it. It's super expensive you work for god awful hours with a god awful commute. It's over rated to say the least
"Serfdom time"!
Hell yeah, make more space for me on the highway lol
One day the greedy rich people will realize there nobody to cook there food at the restaurants they go to or clean the public bathrooms they use and all those min wage jobs people do. Because they all left. The rich screwed themselves in the long run. Hahahahaha.
Well there's always illegal immigrants willing to do your work for half the cost for twice the hours
When the bubble pops the crash is going to be very bad and a lot of those greedy people who drove up the real estate prices will loose their shirts.
You clearly doesn't understand how Capitalism works.
Chris siddons nah people just get use to live in worsts conditions, if people would have a problem whit being exploited poverty wouldn’t exist lol
That's not the point. The point is, where are they going to *live* if everywhere is so expensive? There comes a point where you literally just can't afford to live in a city and the commute would be too long and expensive to be practical, so even if they are illegal, they're gonna have to find some place else to live.
Gee I wonder why
GBTC = Go back To California...
Im going going back back to cali cali
I've said this before. But, this sounds like a real estate scam. Drive people out, prices drop, rich buy the land cheap, resell for millions in profit.
escape from LA!! LOL
Used to live in the Bay... can confirm it’s crazy like this. Though it’s a beautiful city to live in... it truly this expensive. I read an article some where and it said making 100K a year in the Bay is pretty much minimum wage.
What a rip off
I ran away two and a half years ago... Miss the central coast ocean ... Where I'm at in Phoenix. . Life is so much easier . . . Amenaties are closer ... Still needing a church home but other than that & the summers heat I likes it here!
Enjoy your 115 degree days in the months to come.
I left California also for Phoenix in 2015, and I love it here just like you!
good, don't come back now
Thank God, !!!
Can we wall california off like in the movie escape from LA without the disaster, also what stops someone from driving first to las vegas, getting the uhaul then driving it to california and back?
Joshua Sullivan, great! I feel better now. Thank you.
Moved from San Jose to Thailand and never looked back!
Rents and home sales have doubled in the Portland Oregon area- it's like a feeding frenzy here. Traffic is worse here than in the Bay Rea.
San Francisco in 1999. A one bedroom apt was $1000 a month. I went right back to TX.
When I moved out of San Jose, I took a shipping container instead of a truck. You load the shipping container,Then U haul drives it to your new city. Folks should look into that.
I bought a fixer upper home 19 years ago for 140k wife and I paid it off on a 15 year loan as of right now I can list it for 800k. No complaints here about cali except traffic we are selling soon and moving to the mountains. ....life is good.
I'm going to school to become a RN just so that I can stay in California, idgaf bout the money, this state is a beauty. That's why it's considered the Golden State 🤩
saw the writing on the wall 4 years ago and left then...miss the bay but its not getting any better
I am a snow bird I go from NC to Maine. It cost twice as much to drive a uhaul from Maine to NC as opposed to driving it from NC to Maine. I asked why is this so? they told me snow birds are taking their equipment from north to South. My brother was going to rent a trailer in Maine, for 50 dollars more we purchased a new trailer on sale at lowes. The term going south is profits for uhaul
But aren't prices high because people are moving there?
Wow ! They should wait and save up to buy a truck vs spending that much money renting that!
Jeesh! I should come down from Canada with a truck & offer a moving service!
how much to go to these new cities rent a uhaul on a round trip basis
Don't move to Seattle either, we got high enough artificial housing prices going up too, not to mention crazy ass traffic
Rathanak Vlogs
Ass traffic?
So, rent a self-move truck from a business in Nevada or some other state bordering California, drive to the Bay area, load the moving boxes in the truck, drive back to the bordering state where the truck was picked up. Then either put the moving boxes in storage there until you have found a new residence or rent a different truck at a cheap rate, transfer the load to that truck and drive to your destination. Sure, this is an extra day or two of driving, but why give the truck rental company excess profit when you can keep that extra money in your own pocket? Or you could just sell most of your stuff on Craig's List or eBay before the move, load up your car's trunk with the minimum clothing you need and just drive away to live someplace far less expensive -- buy new stuff at your destination. Keep in mind that most of the furnishings and window treatments from that small Bay Area apartment just won't work in that much larger condo or rented house in a state east or north of California.
I live is SoCal and I'm seriously thinking about moving my business to a low cost of living state. I pay my workers ~$40 per hour and it is still hard for them to make ends meet or afford housing. I could pay someone ~$20 per hour in Ohio and they would be just fine and have a higher standard of living. California has decided that it values welfare and open borders more than it does the productive class. It wont be long before the entire state looks like Baltimore.
Yea uhaul wants to give everyone the lowest price. They don't care one bit about making some extra money. These business related lies disgust me.
Now I see why it's been difficult to get job at casino hotel. Damn man, now vegas rent going to spike too. Wonder if exodus will drive down rent because supply demand.
My worst moving experiences have been with U-Haul. Suggest you give PODS a try.
This is completely true I checked it myself last month.
every spring is hard to find trucks due to the students all graduating and moving home. PS all of them have drivers moving trucks back to where they are coming from - employment opportunity.
