Moving to the valley is a metaphor that continues to evolve. With this post, I want to focus on it being an emigration or maybe even an evacuation that's being driven by economics. I've met fellow emigrants while providing a weekly dinner at a nearby public park. But what's foremost on my mind is the growing awareness of how many more potentials emigrants there are, and the thinness of the margins they have (for many, only a paycheck or two) before they are forced into the valley as well. And I don't see that condition changing or improving, and it's difficult not to be extremely apprehensive about this.
