Between April 2020 and July 2022 the number of those leaving California surpassed the number of people moving in by more than 700,000,According to The Times, unaffordable housing, long commute times, crowds, crime and pollution in urban areas —which have also been plagued by homelessness — were primary reasons people left.
Several social issues, exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic, led to hundreds of thousands of Californias moving elsewhere.Between July 2021 and July 2022, California lost roughly 211,000 people according to data from California’s Department of Finance.Los Angeles County — California’s largest county — lost around 160,000 in the last 12 months with most leaving for other states.AFP via Getty Images
Paul Ong, director of the Center for Neighborhood Knowledge at University of California Los Angeles, told The Times that a number of socio-economic factors are pushing people out of the state, but housing costs were the biggest impetus.
N.Y. not far behind. Good job Lefty Dems.!
catering to the lowest denominator is destroying all great cities in the US. no love for the west coast, but demise on the east coast is a horrible shame.
Good riddance.
Have you seen what they are doing in Austin?
With the way that state is, I'm not surprised.
Republican flight.
How many illegals replaced them?
To go vote and ruin somewhere conservative
Cali is going to have to raise taxes because everyone is bailing. Poor remaining Californians
NYC gross too. 😉
500k have physically left. 10 million more have left in spirit.
Hopefully all lib and Dem voters!
That’s because GavinNewsom is single handedly killed a once great state. And the likes of SpeakerPelosi and AdamSchiff are more worried about laundering money through Ukraine than taking care of the 💩 hole that is now California. They all suck at their jobs🤦🏻♀️
OOOO ME ME ME IM ONE OF THEM
Because democrats ruin everything.
They made the right decision
More evidence the Arizona elections weren’t stolen in 2020 or 20022 — Californians just outvoted Arizona Republicans.
I wonder why 🤔
unfortunately its all the good hardworking people.
Replaced by 500k criminal illegals
1% of the population.
Did Mexicans give up and go back to Mexico?
virtue signaling has consequences. learn your lesson, and don't do it where ever you relocate.
Nobody cares where people go. Only Republicans and conservatives do.
Off to infect other States. Let's hope those other States find a giant can of California RAID
daaaamn.
And GavinNewsom wants to be President! Talk about the end of America!
Californians, please listen. Texas SUCKS. It’s hot, the people are mean, taxes are high, the food sucks, and the government controls everything. I’d suggest New Mexico, Oregon, or Massachusetts.
the real question is why anyone stayed.
Fucking up Arizona now
Unfortunately they all fled to infect American states and the repercussions aren't going to be very enjoyable.
ScariFornia and EwwYork will become giant refugee centers that can house 300 million people.
500,000 will always be missed...
Put us down for two of them. Texas is home now.
New York says
You voted for that carp. Stay there and enjoy it 😏
I guess people don’t like to pay high taxes to be surrounded by drug bums
The Newsom Effect.
