Survey Shows Central Coast Middle Class Ready to Leave

A new poll says Central Coast middle-class residents are living on a financial edge. A survey by the Hourglass Project finds that Central Coast residents are anxious about money, with many saying they may move. 540 people in San Luis Obispo and northern Santa Barbara Counties were surveyed. Their major concerns include housing costs and low wages. Only one person found housing to be affordable. The survey also pointed out that one out of three respondents would need to borrow money for an emergency costing $500. And one in ten households doesn’t have enough money for food every month.
