[QUOTE="Deep Purple, post: 3310324, member: 17"] For the last 10-12 years, Californians have been moving to Texas at an average rate of about 70,000 per year. At most, that's about 840,000 total. Given our overall population of about 31.2 million, it's barely more than 2% of the whole -- though it's still growing. More Californians are moving here than to any other state, including Florida. And this isn't a new development. California has been steadily leaking population to other states every single year since 2000, leading to net population loss (more people leaving than are dying or moving in). Beginning in about 2010-2012, that trickling little leak became a small jetting fountain. Not really a flood of interstate emigration, but enough so that California, the most populous state in the Union at over 39 million, actually lost a seat in the House of Representatives during the last reapportionment in 2020. This was a first in California history. That state had never before seen its congressional representation reduced. Cali was also the only state in the Sunbelt to suffer this. Every other Sunbelt state gained representation or held its ground. Most of those leaving California are the extremely dissatisfied who are fed up with the "progressive" high-taxation, high-regulation policies that have made living and working in Cali so difficult and expensive for anyone who is not upper-middle class or independently wealthy. (Also a contributing factor in California's nation-leading rate of homelessness). Average middle-class and working-class people are just screwed. Their chances of rising to a higher quality of life are minimal. Most of California is attractive countryside with sublime weather. But beautiful weather and scenery don't feed, clothe, educate, and house your children. And the large cities like Los Angeles and San Francisco (exception: San Diego) have gone to sh!te -- literally.
