‘The prices are just outrageous’: Californians are still ditching the Golden State because of its insanely high living costs — here’s where they’re headed

Andrew Rowley and his wife Lauren always imagined building a life in Southern California, where they were both born and raised. But when they began searching for a home, they were quickly discouraged by San Diego's sky-high housing prices.
“We both have great jobs and wanted to stay in San Diego,” Rowley told CBS 8 reporters. “But the prices are just outrageous.”
The average home price in the sunny city is $1.01 million according to data from Zillow. Even with a $700,000 budget, few options matched the Rowleys' vision of a home. Ultimately, the family decided to start a new adventure in Denver, Colorado, where they purchased a four-bedroom house with an expansive yard for less than $600,000.
“All of our friends understood why we're doing it. We've had other friends leave the state. We've had other friends contemplating leaving the state and moving,” Lauren Rowley added.
