Yeah, they used outflow numbers for the entire state to "prove" that there's an exodus from the Bay Area. Here's your hint:

"California has seen negative outward migration to other states for 22 of the last 25 years."

Obviously the Bay Area does not have negative outward migration, or the traffic and housing issues would be solved.

Another interesting quote cites a man inexplicably commuting from SF to the East Bay which is not something you'd do if you were trying to optimize your housing costs.

A third cites a woman and her sister moving from The Villages in SJ to Dayton, Ohio. Not mentioned is the fact that The Villages is a retirement community on a golf course (you have to be over 55 to live there).



Ha ha ha. These anecdotes prove the level journalism have fallen due to clickbait. The commute from SF to East Bay is pretty easy during rush hour.
