California’s historically strong population growth has ground to a near halt, new data show, as far more people moved to other states than moved here from elsewhere in the United States.

And in the process, they’re turn red states pink and pink states light blue.

No one here thinks they learned their lesson, do they?

I pray they did.

And I’d love to be completely wrong.

Yup, and the fool sitting in the corner office in Sacramento hasn’t. a clue why.. Newsom has to be among the most incompetent jerk to have been Governor of California. EVERYTHING he touches turns to shit. He was Mayor of San Francisco... look at that town - better yet, don’t.

That whole Brown, Pelosi, Newsom family is rotten.

I follow the facebook pages of people leaving California, there are a lot of them (facebook pages) with thousands of members. Virtually every single person or family fleeing is conservative.

And they are so excited to escape, it’s fun to view their posts, pictures, new homes, moving trucks, excitement, etc. Really neat and makes one very happy for them.

My extended family counts as 14 people (6 households) that have moved from California to AZ. I personally know of two other families who did the same.

And yes, we all voted for Trump.

Ya know, I am from NY and I hear all the time about how everyone who left here made other states pink or red.

But all the ones I know who left were older, conservative folks.

But I’m from Staten Island and Manhattan has Many liberals that ruined it and then left for greener pastures.

Still, I’d say it was not much worse than a wash.

I think a lot of states just don’t want to admit that their young for two generations have been poisoned by schools, hollywood and msm.

And that’s a shame.

It’s Americans fleeing the disaster zone and leaving the ruin to Mexico and China.

Another victory for Bush-Obama globalism.

With all the people and companies fleeing CA, who is buying up the empty facilities, office buildings, homes. The Chinese?

I actually met a person on Facebook just this week who owns a business in CA and he and his family are moving just up the street from us here in North Dallas. Escrow has closed on his beautiful lakeside home with a gorgeous pool and backyard. We walk by his house often. Small world.

He’s not only conservative, he is an official of the local republican party in CA. He’s done with California.

The caravans now forming in Central America will push California’s numbers back up.

Most likely China. Houses here in SoCal are still getting full cash offers and that’s not something Americans are able to do.

The Boom went Kaboom. Who in their right mind would even consider moving their family to CA? I feel sorry for those who cannot leave but seriously want to.

Good if they were Republicans that fled...bad if they were Democrats too stupid to know why they had to flee and will just vote the same stuff back into power that caused what they fled from.

Yes, it’s sad to see some on Facebook who want out so bad but are stuck for one reason or another. I feel bad for them. Good people who want out. Sad for them.

Years ago our real estate agent told us about the Chinese woman that bought a home for herself and husband, and homes for each of their adult kids. For the first closing she came to his office with a rolling suitcase.

When he went to go load it into his car he asked why did she need a suitcase?

“I say pay cash for house.”

“Wait - actual cash? Um - let’s run by the bank and change this into a cashier’s check.” Over a million bucks!

"I don't like all the scary guns here."

"Why are all these people going to church?"

"Why isn't there a Whole Foods nearby?"

"Why shouldn't we vote for gays advocating diversity?"

"People here are too old fashioned."

"Let's put an end to horrid logging/drilling/mining/trapping/enslaving animals for their meat/eggs/milk."

We need more vegan restaurants."

That’s okay. Mexicans and other illegals are moving into their vacated homes 5:1. California’s population will grow more rapidly than ever.
