I am sure all those newborns will be happy to pay off the SD pension debacle.

It's too bad. San Diego has traditionally been a bedrock of Republicanism and conservatism in Southern California and is a beautiful place to live besides.
"the more telling number is the net exodus of 43,126 people"
Illegals picked up the slack and SD came out almost even except for the giant increase in welfare and free medical that they brought with them.
LOL! Massachusetts has experienced a drop in population, seems many many people are exiting this State, can't imagine why, Tom Reilly, taxes out the kazoo, illegals getting away with murder literally among other crimes, did I mention taxes out the kazooooooo, a legislature that is clueless, did I mention taxes????
Drive safely on your way out.
will we see some new congressional districts in four years - with two or three more inland congressmen?
They did not stop building homes in San Diegeo County. Houses did not disappear in San Diego County. Mexicans did not stop pouring into San Diego County. Birth rates are not down in San Diego County.
Something is wrong with the census data. You can take that to the bank!
This is not too surprising. A 30 year old 3 bedroom house costs well over half a million in San Diego. People who tend to have more children and therefore would like a bigger house, are the ones moving. I'll be moving later this year from Cali, almost solely to acquire a mansion with no mortgage. :^)
Most of the number listed as leaving San Diego still work here family here, etc.
Many of that number moved across the border to Riverside Co. as homes are cheaper. They don't consider the gas in the commute.
Some people have to live in 5 bdrm homes and big yard.
If that is what they want, they can't take it with them.
As far as the city gov. We just elected a Republican Mayor and his core group are cleaning house.
Most folks dis. the city gov. and don't know what it is really about also for a lot of folks who dis the city, that usually come from if you can't have it, dis it.
... the count of net taxpayers leaving versus net government dependents arriving, is probably even more stark.
Have been waiting for my kids to graduate from High School this year before we pulled the plug, but I may be too late (re: SD Real Estate market approaching "free fall"). Another life-long Kalifornian ready to leave the land of Gray Davis - oops the Govinator (is there a difference??) for anywhere else.
With the "tax and debt" spending policies of the Democrat controlled state in high gear, I expect that there'll be a major move to revoke Prop. 13 within five years. While many say it will never happen, I contend that when many in the generation now aged 20's and 30's figure out that they're paying property taxes (plus mandated HOA fees) 4-5 times higher than their Baby-boomer and post-Baby boomer neighbors, it'll be real easy to develop a majority to "balance the tax load". When 3% property taxes hit the current price of CA Real Estate (or the CA sales tax hits 15%) to pay for the debt that Arnold and his Legislative company are now creating, property values will crater in CA.
