San Diego is now among the highest-cost metro areas in the nation. That's pricing out some low- and middle-income earners, who are leaving the region to make ends meet and chase the American Dream.
It's no secret that there's a sunshine tax in San Diego County, but that"tax" has gotten extra pricey over the past couple of years.“We figured when the property was sold, at some point, we were going to get a notice to vacate,” former Hillcrest resident George Rowles said.And that's exactly what happened to him. Rowles got a termination of tenancy notice just after San Diego’s no-fault eviction moratorium was lifted in September.
“Trying to find something in this market, coming from where we have been, at a reasonable rent for 15 years and finding something now; my rent is literally being quadrupled,” Rowles said.Termination of tenancy notice sits on George Rowles' kitchen table, in front of packing boxes, Dec. 5, 2022.
