People are moving out of the city because housing <br />is too expensive in Pleasanton. <br /> Not enough inventory for those making 120 percent of the Area Median (Above Moderate) <br />Income. <br /> Pleasanton is largely built out compared to neighboring communities, and the limited land <br />that is available is not designated for housing.
