Swell. California has been surrendered to the leftists for a long time, and now the locusts are making their way across the country. There will be some who are conservative or independent, but I doubt it will be the majority.
It’s all good. Only the taxpayers are leaving.
Bwahahahahaha...
Just?
So this and the 10,000 similarly breathless "Hey, look what I just noticed!" stories which have come out over the past several years are "news" only to those who haven't been paying attention at all.
California's population had continued to rise only due to "natural increase" (more births than deaths) and, obviously, the massive influx of foreigners. Now, finally, those factors are not keeping pace with the departures. But people have been voting with their feet for many, many years, and the ongoing mass exodus is hardly all "good" people who make their destinations better places (e.g. Texas, Arizona, Colorado, Nevada, Idaho, Montana, all of which have been heavily Californicated and there's no sign of it stopping).
If California's decline continues at this rate, there is a chance that Texas could pass it in population within another couple of decades. At which point Texas will be the "New California" in more ways than just head count; its politics will resemble California's too. At the very least they sure won't resemble today's Texas, which still leans a little to the right.
But that can't possibly happen in Texas. Yeah.... about 50 years ago they said that about California too.
We need a wall along the California border.
Locusts.
I was born and raised in SE LA county.
I got the hell out as soon as I could.
I could see East coast liberals moving in
and screwing up my home.
Just for your education I went to a very “Blue”
Washington state and am now hiding in rural extremely “Blue” Hawaii.
Both are far better than California.
Being up here in Canada the entire population of Canada for quite a while was less than that of Cali although close in numbers. It appears Canada has now surged ahead a bit because of this stall and now shrinkage for the not so golden state. Canada is now well over 40 million. Purely due to immigration I might note.
My 90 year old father in law keeps telling me that he doesn’t want to die here (Elk Grove, CA). His wife of 65 years has advanced Alzheimer’s disease and they are too fragile to move right now. My wife is living with them taking care of them. Crappy crappiola.
“ The state could lose as many as five more in 2030.”
No they won’t. The Dems will do whatever is necessary to see that every single illegal alien is counted in the next census AND that they be counted for the purpose of apportioning congressional seats.
It’s always been about that.

CA ia becoming bluer and more 3rd world like everyday.
California west Coast is like a huge pustule loaded with virus and bacteria. When it explodes is sends the virus to other states and infects them. Colorado has been Californicated, now they are moving in on New Mexico.
That’s not good news for the destination states and cities. Californians bring prices and politics. And they don’t know how to drive in the snow.
Maybe some day the sane people will return.
Of course ,every inch would have to to scrubbed down with a strong disinfectant and sprayed with Fabreze.
