Not so GREAT and not that DEPRESSED?

An article in New York Times states that many California citizens are moving eastward, in search of cheaper living. In a survey of 2,500 Californians last year by the Public Policy Institute of California, a research about one third of residents under the age of thirty five said the cost of housing was making them consider moving to a less expensive area. Two-thirds of those people also said they were thinking of leaving the state. Last year a half million California citizens moved to other parts of the country.
This topic reminded me of the Great Depression. The Great Depression is the opposite of what is happening today in California. During the 1930s, the Great Depression many U.S. citizens moved west to California in search of jobs, which helped their financial state. Not everyone moved at first but slowly more and more people headed west in search of an easier life. The long journey to California was harsh and many people died along the way. Luckily, today’s traveling is much easier and won’t call for any casualties.
