Artificially Low Prices In The Bay

Just my thoughts on a couple things, I would not say the prices were artificially low, Bay Area offered some things other areas didn’t that keep prices down.
girls have told me Bay Area clients are safer, less rough than other cities where they had more issues with drunk or coked up guys being rough or customers not paying, add this to the higher volume of clients and steady stream of regulars a girl can see.
now we have a significant price spike because simply no competition. right now there are like 4 Korgs, everyone is either under the same corporate umbrella or partnering together and coordinating and can control prices. there was significantly more orgs, girls and competition even just a 3 years ago. There were legit girls in their 20’s, lots of hot girls, not just the GILF and MILF that is 85% of whats available now. you had far more options and you could easily take your money to a different org Which kept prices in check.
for Whatever reason orgs disappeared and options are limited. it will be interesting if any new ones enter the market ones travel restrictions keep easing
Do you think corona was the sole factor in the decline of the number of different orgs here? Or was this trend already happening when covid hit

Aren't you ignoring the general risk of running such a site? It has far more risk than simply having an account.
Agreed, the FOSTA-SESTA law did lots of damage to this "industry" in regards to accessibility, pricing, safety for girls, etc. They did their jobs well in scaring lots of people out if the water in this arena. An example of government not focusing on the problems that really plague society...just going after the low hanging fruit.

If the service was also improving and the talent was in line with the new price it would be a little easier to take it in stride. But if it is the same girl you had a secession with 6 months ago for $60-$80 less, that hurts. I would like to see my salary increase $60-80 an hour this year, but that is not realistic. This will just limit how may times I can play per month, with best calculation will have to cut back 3 to 4 secessions per month. If that is the case I will only see service queens and can wait for their schedule to open up. If everyone is feeling it like me the their schedules will become much more open. Just my two cents I could be wrong.

The other elephant in the room that factors in here is the legitimate increase in the cost of housing around here over the last 10 years. It's safe to say that rent prices have gone up at least 50% depending on what city you live in. Have provider prices gone up at the same rate over that same period?

Rent over last 1.5 years in sj. Just like elsewhere in the bay area, rent changes have plummeted during pandemic, and tbh they were falling between 2018 and 2020 as well.




Also... I thought all the new price increases were going to the girls? Girls don't pay rent, orgs do.

Rent and cost of living in all major cities (SF, NY, LA...) actually have fallen below pre-pandemic level or borderline flat as we dig ourselves out of pandemic. California population declined for first time in recorded history due to mass migration. SF and SJ saw net outflux. It is the burbs that saw rental and real-estate boom throughout the country due to remote work.

So while I agree cost of housing over the past 10 years have gone up significantly, pandemic was just used as an excuse to force price hike. Like the WEF's the great reset propaganda...

They can increase prices because the popular girls were getting way too busy once things started opening up. 30-50+ people were trying to book a day… Once they increased price, things slowed down a bit, which is what a lot of the girls wanted. Then the less popular girls wanted to increase their prices to match. The only way to lower prices is enough people not go. I doubt that will happen though lol

It's a cute chart but it doesn't change the fact that over the last 10 years it's significant. I bet if you could chart rent/mortgage prices vs provider hourly rates over 10+ years you would probably see they may be justified in their price hikes regardless of what's happened during pandemic which is just an abberation.

Now let's put our mongering on hold or slow down to make them pay for these "justified" hikes, lol. At minimum, we need to get them to lock in these new rates for a while and make them re-think raising rates for a long time.

Again, last three years the rent changes were negative in San Jose. Yes, over last 10 years, the net changes were positive.

So why havent the prices risen before last three years? If we are relating rent prices and pussy prices, why are Emeryville prices and San Jose prices the same? Clearly rent is different in these areas.

Finally, again, girls do not pay rent. The new changes supposedly have all the extra $ go to the girls. So where is the connection here?

Quite a few guys on this forum are indeed visiting less due to the up charge, the problem is that there are far more guys not on here, and some of them are not slowing down no matter what the price is: either don’t care or don’t know better.

I disagree hence the super inflated price hikes....they're hiking because of less customers
