Per the article, this is based on an analysis of 1,200 searches done on their platform. It seems like a stretch to use those figures to reach conclusions for a city of over 800,000 residents.
The traditional signal is when U-Haul starts having logistics problems getting trucks back to the City.
Interesting to see Columbus (I'm assuming OH) on that top 5 list. That means about 60 people were looking at moving to Columbus I guess? The other cities made sense to me, but Columbus was a stand out. The others just seemed like cities people looking to leave SF that would use movebuddah would be looking at. I think it's still a major test market because it has the perfect demographics for that kind of thing.
I've heard great things about Columbus, OH. Never been there but sounds like a great midwest city with an affordable cost of living and nice college town (The Ohio State University).
Honestly one of the under rated large cities in the US is Cleveland. I have had to travel a lot for work over the years and was impressed by the dining options available and the general togetherness of the community there. Again winters...bad...

But they are making a year-on-year relative analysis, so even for a non-representative sample, you can identify a strong trend.

There is nothing wrong with that sample size. That should give less than a 3% margin of error at 95% confidence.

And how does that help? You're just sending anyone undesirable to prison? How about, and this is a wild idea, we just require housing to be a natural right and we give people that?

> last year, there were 980 move searches involving the Bay Area [in the same time period] This is microscopic data to make any sort of claim about migration patterns. I live in Denver, and read a similar article a few years ago (more people were moving out than moving in). Didn't seem to have much of an impact on housing prices or the job market, because it wasn't a sustained, significant trend.
This year it's 1200 * 90% or 1080...that's nearly double.
This is just a sample size though because, I for one have never heard of the site, so I doubt a ton of people use them for moving needs. A lot probably will just use U-haul and other resources for their move.
I could see a lot of people wanting to move from SF esp, if they've been laid off, how could you possibly afford rent in a recession in SF?

People who realize housing people is cheaper than jailing them.
As soon as COVID is over we're out.
I'm legit curious. What's your definition of "over"? In a few years when vaccines have been found, 85% of people inoculated and no more proven Covid-19 cases have been found for 30 days? or...?
But if we could halve the death-rate or more, it'd be pretty good steps towards getting back to normal. Also, if we could actually get people to wear masks and take it seriously. That'd go a long way towards quelling it.
