Maybe instead of shitting on people you don't know, have a little empathy and compassion, and acknowledge that just because you don't know the reason someone might do something, it doesn't mean there's no reason, or the reason is a bad one.
Oh, and Fresno and Modesto are not "in that area", not by any stretch of the imagination.
But some people who would love to live in the bay area, and have jobs in the bay area, do live out in Fresno and Modesto because that's all they can afford. When people have to drive 3 hours each way during rush hour to get to their job because there isn't enough housing available closer to work, that's a dysfunctional society.
