Two thoughts come to mind:

* Is the population dropping given all this negativity? My guess: No! Else, property prices and/or rent would've dropped as well. => This survey is just plain "complaining". Not actual action. OR the number of people who move in outnumber those who move out.

* Yeah, been there done that. I moved to Austin for 2-3 years only to realize how much better Bay Area is regarding engineering talent, jobs you can find, outdoor activities you can do, school options for kids etc. Back in Bay Area now. Happy owner of a home since '13.
