Still, about half of the survey respondents thought it was 'Not At All Likely' they would move out of Berkeley after Retirement. According to the survey, the biggest problems with housing include: Housing Cost, Availability of appropriate housing, Property tax cost, Gentrification, and Homelessness. For those who said they would likely move out of Berkeley, the top reasons included cost and housing options. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c7c1cda90f904489a7423bb/1554083174626-2ALJWL89O5Y4HINK8KSE/Screen+Shot+2019-03-31+at+9.46.02+PM.png Housing The overwhelming majority of survey respondents live in a single-family home or apartment.
