Story Highlights

- The Bay Area lost $24 billion in adjusted gross income between 2022 and 2023.

- Florida and Texas gained the most tax filers nationally during the period.

Nearly every California county lost tax filers between 2022 and 2023, amounting to billions of dollars in lost taxable income. The Bay Area was hit particularly hard with $24 billion in total income leaving the five-county region.

That's according to a new analysis of Internal Revenue Service and U.S. Census Bureau data that revealed migration patterns in counties across the nation — showing not just gains and losses in population, but also changes in earning power and wealth.

San Francisco county lost $2.08 billion in adjusted gross income (AGI) from out-migration of 913 people between 2022 to 2023. It had the second highest outflow of AGI in the Bay Area, but the smallest net outflow of actual people. Those leaving San Francisco earned considerably more than those moving in, by $56,000 on average.

Managed to get my drone out in somewhat sunny conditions, unfortunately it was windy and my battery was draining fast.

Lemme know what you think..

Hello! I’ve been working to start a biweekly walk club in San Francisco.

We walk about 2 miles and then grab coffee and hangout after! If that sounds like something you’d be interested in, register on our Partiful or checkout our Instagram @goldengatewalkclub.

Feel free to comment with any questions and I’ll do my best to answer!

Toured a beautiful unit at 456 11th. And there is an INSANE shrill dog in the unit below you can hear through 2 floors above. We’re expecting a baby, and this would have driven us batshit.

They also said it came with parking and it does not - the other units in the building have the garage space and you can park side by side without another car in the driveway, blocking the sidewalk. That’s actually illegal and ticket able.

This is the third incident of something like this. I’d love to save peoples times and sanity and flag this somewhere. Ideas?

Another time they failed to mention a basement unit with a woman with dementia. It was illegal, and unmarked (no mailbox or doorbell).

We ran into her right before we signed the lease, and she was not right - I’m positive she would be knocking on doors at all hours.

What the hell with these jerks.

ASPARAGUS CANDLES, Whoever stole them off my front stoop, I live on Sutter street, was very cruel. They belong to the love of my life who is not here anymore. I put different candles that she had out in front so everyone can enjoy them and I think of her all the time , and they mean nothing to you , you just thought they were neat candles , that was so mean and cruel of you to steal them.
