People that remain in the bay area are insane. There’s just nothing left. When the housing crash comes, its going to be even worse.
This is why communist must build walls to keep their people from leaving the “paradise” they create. If California could, they would also build a border fence (not to keep illegals out, but to keep the productive ones in.)
I live east of LA in Socal, but I can smell the stench of SF from here.
Reason 318 why I’m glad I don’t live anywhere near CA. That place must really suck.
The real number of people who left is 700k, not 500k. The difference of 200k is because of illegals and births.
Democrats don’t care - having half a million people leave helps their net zero goal and locks in another 500,000 votes each election.
From 2012...

People, especially families with kids, have been fleeing for decades.
Just remember as you flee, you’re a Refugee, not a Missionary.
Lassen County? That’s a surprise.
500,000 is almost one congressional seat a year. This is why they count “migrants”.
Lassen County is on the Nevada border northwest of Reno.
Why are people leaving Lassen?
Rats fleeing a sinking ship to go infest another area. The number of Kalifornia license plates in our area is staggering. I can only hope and pray they are passing through.
They can check out any time they like.
California has the highest number of illegal aliens in the country. Pew estimated the number to be 2+ million in 2016. We can only imagine what that figure is today.
Bottom line: Sane people are leaving California in droves and illegal aliens are replacing them by the millions.
I see many Cali license plates here in Texas
1. Excess taxation and regulation - gas here is over $5.00/gallon again. Housing costs are exorbitant (until the crash, that is).
2. Hostile to businesses - unbelievable how many businesses have fled this state, lots and lots of empty buildings.
3. Over-run by illegals and other Democrat voters who have turned this state solid-blue.
Beware: Gov. Newsom is making the rounds right now of Red States to push the Commie agenda nation-wide that he has implemented in California - and is exactly what is causing productive people to flee.
Democrats will run him for POTUS in 2028, he will win unless vote fraud is taken care of - and he WILL implement his policies nation-wide.
California’s population has increased 20% with illegals.
And they are all moving to red states where they will register to vote from. You know,to make things better just like the place they just left.
