A woman who once swore by the California dream says wildfires, sky-high costs — and a crackdown on her Airbnb lifeline — “I had an Airbnb in West Hollywood that was basically how I survived before,” said Thomlinson-Clark.
“They shut down my Airbnb… very hard for me financially.”“Then the fires really — that kinda freaked us out a lot,” she said. “We were paying all this money … couldn’t get house insurance. We were basically sitting ducks with no housing insurance.”Glamorous leader of 'orgasm cult' learns fate for grooming employees to have sex with clients — as judge blasts her lack of remorse Within months, Thomlinson-Clark ditched LA for Charlotte, North Carolina — a move she admits was “a bit of a knee-jerk reaction,” but one that quickly paid off.The numbers back her up. Los Angeles County lost roughly 54,000 residents between July 2024 and July 2025, the largest population drop in the nation,. Once topping 10 million residents, the county has now slipped to under 9.7 million — a steady decline with no clear end in sight.Realtor.com senior economist Joel Berner noted that LA’s housing affordability score sits at just 0.41, far below the national average of 0.77. Median rent in the county has surged to $2,709 — compared to $1,667 nationwide — leaving many residents priced out. “Incomes in LA have simply not kept pace with housing costs,” Berner said, adding that many are “squeezed to the point where they have to choose to leave.”“I had never thought about leaving LA. If I’m honest, the fires were a big driving force,” she said. “I worked really hard to get to California — specifically, I picked California.” She insists the move wasn’t political, still, the financial upside has been hard to ignore. After buying her first home ten months ago, she told The Post, she bought a second one last Friday.Even so, she hasn’t completely shut the door on the Golden State. “Financially it’s better, but you do give up a lot,” she admitted. “California — it’s the sunshine tax you pay. There’s a lot to do in California.”Distressing video reveals how wheelchair-bound Universal Studios guest was killed by rollercoasterPentagon preparing for weeks of ground operations in Iran — as Trump warned regime to ‘get serious’ about peace deal: reportMamdani shows no respect for older New Yorkers who are killed — but he has plenty of sympathy for law breakersStream It Or Skip It: 'Jo Nesbø's Detective Hole' On Netflix, Where A Troubled Detective Tracks Down A Serial Killer Who Is Terrorizing Oslo
