The comment was “people have been leaving in droves”. If that is true then that should balance out the natural growth from kids growing up and needing housing. Some locations in the state are very expensive, just like exclusive locations in every state, but much of the state is no more expensive than any state. We all don’t live in Malibu and Carmel.

Great graphic! I think that it’s really important that people know their own medical history, especially given how every single hospital seems to use their own EHR and transfer between two different systems can be next to impossible.

As a medical student/ex medical assistant, there’s a couple tweaks that I’d like to see:

First, I’d like more of a medical history. The surgical and procedural history is great, but there isn’t any medical history proper (i.e. diagnoses - what did they see on the echo? Did they ever figure out the cause of that idiopathic neuropathy?) Similarly, the procedures listed don’t have any indications associated with them. For instance, why was that echo/stress test ordered?

Second, a section for medications would be great too. (You may not be taking any medications after you stopped the panic/depression meds in 2012, but it would be convenient just to jot down “no medications or supplements” somewhere.) In the same vein, any known allergies would be good to list.

Either way, if I sat down in a room with you and you handed me this on a sheet of paper, the first thing I would think is “wow, this person’s incredibly invested in their own health.” That alone is worth a TON. Good luck with your health moving forward!
