Galileo forfeits to Richmond

State civil positions absolutely pay differently based on location: I.e. Shasta County pays less than Santa Clara or CCC. Fact.LOL I'd love to know where this is....to compare. Let's seeAnd don't decline to say either, or we'll know your're full of BS.
Fed jobs, state all pay the same in CA.
Local government varies but is not vastly different here than other areas in the Bay. Not even close to being that different.
It is a well known fact that quality of life in the Bay has deteriorited to the point where tens of thousands of families have left- all to seek better quality of life (schools, housing, job, recreation, etc....) You're behind
94803 roots. No doubt the Iron Triangle challenges (of which Lad-TK- sadly know ) of 20-30 years ago changed the property values in Richmond. But on my home street, there are young families representing all demographics moving in and in the 94805/6? Houses boarded up back then are bought by those who reinvigorate neighborhoods. It's also why RHS has a formidable futbol reputation.
Judging a book by its cover is simple ignorance of the many and varied chapters. The idea that peeps are fleeing the Bay for the foothills is more about cashing out equity than seeking a culture of maximized humanities and arts.LOL.
Who lives in Shasta!? We are talking Bay vs. Sac metro. Did you read the thread? The idea that simply livig in the Bay, these people are making hundreds of thousands more than areas two hours away is comical. The pay differential in Orange, Santa Barbara, Santa Cruz or San Luis Obispo counties, is a WHOLE $250 a month. Whoppers!
There is zero judging any book by its cover. People (mostly families) have been fleeing the Bay Area for a long time. Public school enrollments have been HEAVILY declining ALL around the Bay Area for over a decade now. That is an indisputable fact.
People want to live and prosper where they can have good work life balance and quality of life. There is a reason the enrollments in the foothills schools are massive and getting bigger.
And your general comment about "equity." Not true at all. A large percentage of the people fleeing the Bay for better lives are first time buyers. The exodus from the Bay and declining enrollments will only get worse.
It's okay Patsy when one contradicts oneself. Interjecting humor when one is trying to "sell" their quality of life is, well, humorous.
There are those who find Larry The Cable Guy more entertaining than Ricky Gervais. Or landing a 3 lb. steelhead far more rewarding than three hours perusing Powell's in Portland.
There's a COL advantage and likewise a median income standard and crazy equity. Apples-oranges.

El Sob is certainly much different than Parchester. And yes, houses on Santa Rita are at $900k. The shooting on Morningside? Kids....
And RHS, as Wizard would know, has a long history of athletic prowess dating to when the shipyards flourished during WWII.
Certainly the prevalent AA community still exists as exemplified by the likes of Takkarist, et al. But that draw of new housing in East CC filtered talent. BAM! Foreclosure by insidious financial entities.
Homeownership is part of the American dream. Whether it be at Fifth and Bissell or Arlington Blvd.
Wiz- kids Dons 60's-70's?
I played against Richmond in 1974, they were ranked #2 in the state, Richmond beat us 42-7
I remember Kennedy was a formidable high school football program in the mid to late 70s. So was Harry Ells. Berkeley was very very formidable in all sports during that time. Yes, Richmond was pretty good too. Pinole Valley began to emerge around this time also
I fondly remember those days as well.
The point of the thread, IMO, is that those days are NEVER coming back. I don't think anyone could argue otherwise.
Agreed. El Cerrito getting the last vestiges of the Richmond demographic these days. All of the schools I mentioned previously had much bigger enrollment numbers then. They are shells of what they once were
Well put. And I think that was always the point of this thread.
I think others took it as a personal slight and wanted to have an income measuring contest with areas a few hours away and that was never the intent.
Great points.
no, you you touted roseville and folsom as some great land that everyone is fleeing to. i simply said they arent moving there to hang out at high school football games, but they are going where it is more affordable and bang for the dollar. people move for millions of reasons, and high school football is probably on the lower end of it. quality of life is high, but that is relative. your quality is different from most in the bay.
I am not touting anything. I don't need too. Look at the droves of people.....it speaks for itself.
NO ONE IS MOVING TO Downtown Oakland for a great quality of life for their family and kids, Single people....maybe......but that doesn't move the needle.
I never said anything about moving for HSFB. I have mentioned every category except for that. Most people are attracted to the SCHOOLS here, not sports. Kids in public schools throughout the area are going to upper echelon colleges without paying a dime for HS. Most places where you live, you HAVE to send kids to private school for the same chance.
Quality of life is really not relative. It is something that everyone seeks. But there a reason a majority of people disagree with you and are going somewhere else. That is a fact.

Maybe you should look at the top public schools in the state and correct your rant. You realize we have some of the next public schools period when you compare the cities they are in to Folsom. May not be Oakland, San Francisco except Lowell. But schools are still thriving all over Santa Clara County, Fremont, Marin, up the peninsula and in Lamorinda school district. So again another statement that makes no sense.
Cherry picking again.
Anyone can cherry pick a few top performing public schools in a massive region. But, by in large, there is a steady decline, followed by migration out of the Bay Area. School quality is cited as a major reason and concern. Again, these are facts, not something I've made up
You went to Galileo bro, I respect your position.
It's about land cost and (savvy) developers. New homes, less cost, new schools = "this area's great."
it is relative! what you think is quality and i think is quality are WAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYY different. you spend friday nights at folsom high school as a full grown adult looking at high school aged folk and talking about them 3 touchdowns you scored in 85. I spend friday nights surrounded by drunk of age women.
nobody i know, hang with, live next to or associate with has ever stated.. yes, i wanna move to roseville. and likewise nobody you hang with at folsom high has said they want to move to a downtown high rise. so thats understandable. we all thrive for different things.
It would be a tough call bro. Do I spend a Friday night at District or Yoshis , or in Folsom. Let me think about that. LMAO. And I second that. I don’t know many that have fled to Sac. Maybe Antioch and Brentwood. But your winning on that high rise. Let me know what time I can come kick it, hahahahah.
somar and hello stranger are my first choices. then mak westin, the alley or oasis.... you are almost certain to find something. district on sundays though.
the high rise is really overpriced and all. but for now i can deal with the waste of money. lollll
Fo shizz. Larry the Cable Guy, or Ricky Gervais.
Landing a 4 lb Steelhead or 4 hours at Powells in The Rose City...
Some day someone here's going to say, "Pahrump has a great family vibe. No Vegas crime, it's growing fast and there are three wineries too." LOL
It looks like they reversed that decision.
Selective Lowell Admissions Are Back After Split Vote
The decision potentially puts the San Francisco school at odds with state law.
sfstandard.com
Just to clarify, the Folsom Street Fair happens in San Francisco, not in to the actual town of Folsom...
LOL thanks for clarification. Maybe he should have done a better analysis before posting and searching "Folsom" on google images lol
That went over the heads of a few bro.

People are fleeing the state not just the Bay Area. States like CA, NY, ILL, are seeing people flee in mass for states with less tyrannical governments. This has in turn driven up costs in states like Tx, Fl, Nv, Az, Mt, Wy, etc…I suspect if we continue on the path we are on people will soon be fleeing the country. I recently read a article about citizens in Mexico being upset with the influx of Americans driving up home costs down there.
When are you leaving? I think there's a few of us here that will be more than happy to help you book Mexico!
Seems like there's always others moving here to take the place of those who leave
