I’ll be among them in a couple of years. I grew up here and have spent most of my professional life here, but it’s getting to be about that time. I’ll miss California and the Bay Area that I grew up in - I won’t miss what it’s become.

If the mass exodus is true, then China will one day own California as a colony of Central and South Americans and dirt poor gringos who cannot leave. Maybe the Chicoms can do something better than American Socialists. It breaks my heart.

If they own a house, they’re sitting on a Gold Mine.

True - my house is a few blocks from the new Apple HQ, and it's tripled in value in the last dozen years. For practical reasons I can't leave immediately, but within a couple of years, hopefully before the Big One hits.

We need a border wall along the California state lines to keep them from infesting other places in their love for cradle to grave management by the “State”.

“If the mass exodus is true, then China will one day own California as a colony of Central and South Americans and dirt poor gringos who cannot leave. “

Chinese investors have been buying up housing here for about a decade, driving prices up to ridiculous levels. Mass legal immigration from the 3rd world replaces Americans who no longer find California worth it. Too expensive, too crowded, too foreign, too leftwing.

The Republicans establishment ignored it and allowed it to happen, the Democrat hard left took over the state.

“How many are will stay and fight to make California Great Again?”

Not many. CA is a lost cause.

Left wing socialists and communists who can no longer afford to live in their socialist utopia, so they will be exporting their socialist agenda to Arizona, Nevada, Utah, Idaho by moving there and voting for socialists.

$450,696 is the median household income in Atherton, California, the wealthiest town in the United States for three years in a row now. It’s in Silicon Valley and home to Google’s Eric Schmidt and Facebook’s Sheryl Sandberg among others. [Bloomberg]

Parts of Silicon Valley are starting to look like Manhattan. HUGE buildings right next to the sidewalk, 5 or 6 stories tall. These replaced old one story set back shopping centers with big parking lots. The character of the place has changed immensely. In many towns, you swear you are in Delhi or Beijing, not the US. The number of Asian and Indian immigrants is really staggering.

The level of rudeness, traffic congestion, and very high-risk daredevil drivers is off the charts.

New borns and immigrants are jacking up California’s population.
California’s population grew by 215,000 people but is still shy of 40 million.
The population hit 39.8 million as of July 1, 2018. California’s population far exceeds that of any other state; Texas ranks second with nearly 29 million people, followed by Florida and New York.
California’s growth was driven by about 200,000 more births than deaths and a net migration of 21,000, meaning more people came to the state than left. Inland counties such as Amador and Placer, at the foothills of the Sierra Nevada mountain range, and Merced in the Central Valley, saw the highest growth rates.
Sonoma and Napa counties in wine country saw their populations decline by the highest rate in the state, and rural areas in inland and Northern California also lost people.
Los Angeles County remains the state’s most populous county at nearly 10.3 million people, triple that of the next closest California county, San Diego, and larger than most states. Riverside County grew by 27,000 people, the largest numeric change.
The population estimates come as the state and nation prepare for a new census count in 2020. California has added 2.6 million people since the 2010 census. The decennial count determines how many seats each state gets in Congress and how much federal money it gets for various services.
Since 2010, California has gained a net 1.3 million foreign immigrants.

So long as they leave the Bay area and go somewhere else in California or one of it’s Northern properties (Oregon/Washington).

I loved SoCal, for awhile, swam at least a half-mile in the ocean every morning, ran and hiked through valleys and mountain trails, and went to California national parks as often as possible when I lived there. I miss lots of things in California, but would never move back there unless things changed dramatically. It’s very sad.

Colorado is full of those awful red MAGA hats,
and they talk like dumb rednecks.

Californians should STAY AWAY! Instead move to Oregon.

People are bailing out of most cities run by DemonRATs. They destroy everything they touch. States headed for the RAT toilet are Oregon, Washington, Colorado, California, New York, Virginia, New Mexico, most New England states, and the list goes on. The only way to retake our nation is to defeat them in every way possible and exposure their organized voter fraud and corruption.

“The only way to retake our nation is to defeat them in every way possible and exposure their organized voter fraud and corruption.”

Agree, but we also need to defeat them at the level of education-associated indoctrination. Moral relativism and anti-Christianity is common on campus, and is sold to our youth as indicative of superior knowledge and tolerance.
