Wealthy residents are fleeing LA, San Francisco and Orange County to little-known city dubbed the 'armpit' of California

Affordable real estate in Cali city hotspots is hard to come by - so much so that wealthy citizens are increasingly fleeing inland to a city dubbed 'the armpit' of the golden state.

Enter Bakersfield - a locale that's a far cry from its Bay Area brethren - and better known for its heat and pollution. 

It's comprised mostly of cows and open farmland - and now, real estate data shows, thousands of coastal Californians.

Bakersfield? Fucking Bakersfield?
I've been to Bakersfield only a few times but the one thing that always stood out to me was how fucking dusty it was there, and this is coming from somebody that lived on farmland surrounded by even more farmland. It was so dusty in Bakersfield that the first time I went there, I left my truck for 2 hours and when I returned, there was a layer of dust on it that was so thick I could've written my name on the hood.
