I don’t know about NY, but California has been bleeding/losing legal citizens for 3-5 years.
Anyone/families making less than 125K per year can’t afford to live or move here.
If it wasn’t for illegals flooding in, California would have lost some congressits due to people leaving here.
“California has been bleeding/losing legal citizens for 3-5 years.”
It’s been closer to 10 years.
Frequent road trips on 1-10
between Houston and Ft. Stockton,
I witnessed many a U-Haul with
California plates headed east.
