There was a rather high end apartment complex and there were NO rooms rented out (well three in a three story building 8 rooms deep in each direction)

How can you tell the occupancy rate of an apartment building just by looking at it? I have several apartment buildings within walking distance of my house. When I walk by them they look full. Lots of cars in the parking lot. But...I don't know if the buildings are 100% or 90% or 80% or 70% or 60% full. The parking lots are probably designed to have more space than possible renters. And I don't count the number of empty parking spots and then calculate the time of day and whether the people living here commute by bus, walking, bicycle, or work nights or evenings or days and then do lots of other calculations to determine what percent of apartment rooms are empty or filled based on the parking lot number of cars. And I did not look in the windows of all the ground floor units and climb the outside of the buildings to peer into the second and third floor units to see if there was furniture in the apartments. For all six buildings. Get an accurate count.

As for people wearing masks when you obviously are so against the act. People fortunately have gotten accustomed to wearing masks and do so when out and about. It helps protect the wearer and even more so anyone who is around the person so they are not contaminated from spit and breathe.

As for people moving out of California, probably so. I see internet articles about states gaining and losing population. California is usually on the negative list. But I watch these cable TV shows where people sell real estate in California and they seem to sell houses really fast. So there are apparently still some people in California. Based on the selling prices of houses I wonder how anyone can afford to live in California. But somehow they do.
