My (very conservative) daughter just visited California two months ago. She fell deeply in love with the weather, the beaches, and some good people. She seriously considered moving there.
Reality descended when she took a look at the income tax, the cost of real estate, and the cost of living. Then she took a harder look at gun laws, education, homeschooling options... and the dream finally died.
Liberals love to take over our most beautiful places, then corrupt that beauty with Marxism. It’s sad, really.
We just left TX. Weather-wise, it’s the armpit of the US and honest Texans will admit it. Only the toughest survive.
So liberals ignore it.
They are an invasive species. They go where it’s nice for them, destroy it, then move on to the next nice place. They are the bedbugs of humanity.
So, no. I don’t see CA’s population growing. I see people fleeing and more and more put off by their stupidity.
I do have to add one thing.
Why do leftists destroy all beautiful places?
It’s in their nature.
They want the government to make everything easy. They love easy. They love free. They love the idea that you can get something for nothing.
Of course they’re drawn to the beautiful. To the calmest weather. To the path of least resistance.

I'm seriously considering moving to a remote part of North Dakota when I retire.
You don’t see it growing? What about continuing mass illegal and legal immigration? Yeah, plenty will flee the state but Hispanic and Asian immigrant flows aren’t going down unless restrictive immigration reform is passed, and there is no chance for that anytime soon.
