It's called capitalism. Supply and demand. That's America.
Normal people move when they can't find work where they are. It happened in a massive way in the 2008 recession.
There are 1 bedroom apartments starting at $700/mo in Detroit's city center - within walking distance from startup incubators, #20 on the Global Fortune 500, General Motors, and the nations 3rd largest mortgage originator, Quicken Loans just to name a few. Maybe try Dearborn, MI I think Ford employs a few people too. There is even cheaper housing in suburban (2br home for $875/mo) and rural areas ($550/mo). Take your pick. There are lots of places with cheap real estate and good jobs. It's unfortunate that homeless people are spoiled with the beautiful climate and endless handouts in California.
What is their specific entitlement to live in San Francisco? If someone gave me a free house in the valley, I'd go there too. Until then, I'll keep living and working in the mid-west and putting up with the cold winters.
Magnuson-Moss has been thrown around by car tuning enthusiasts since it was passed in 1975. It sounds good in theory. The reality is that you are an individual with limited resources going up against a multi-billion dollar global entity with a large team of full-time legal resources. It costs them nothing to deny your warranty claim until you win in court. How much time and money are you going to risk to get your $400 - $800 phone replaced? If you happen to be a professional Lemon Law lawyer, then I guess it's worth it to you to make a point. For the rest of us, you just buy a new phone from a different manufacturer.
