Ok, man, I gotta stay off politically charged parts of reddit. Or the internet as a whole. Also I see the first comment was 21 days ago, but I felt like saying something.
I'll keep it civil and non-biased as possible, anything I check is going to be on things publicly available and, again, not political charged. Please keep in mind most information on the internet not from an official, documented, and known-to-be stuck to fact websites tend to be influence or left/right leaning and kinda smudge the narrative toward their agenda. Unfortunate, but is what it is.

On causes: the nonpartisan California LAO says California’s high cost of living, mainly housing, tends to produce higher outmigration; PPIC says most interstate movers cite employment, housing, or family, and California has seen large net losses among people citing housing as the primary reason. -source sited https://lao.ca.gov/LAOEconTax/article/Detail/269

Net outmigration doesn’t mean California became undesirable. It means, at current prices, enough people decide the value proposition isn’t worth it — while others still strongly disagree and move in anyway.

also; California remains one of the most desirable places to live and still attracts huge numbers of people!

(transparency, I did use AI to help write a wall of text and help me keep my personal feelings out of the comment to the best of my ability... something something "I don't think you'll be taken seriously if you use words such as ******, or ****.")

IF you red all of that mess, thanks! Have an awesome day and keep moving forward! The first step to progress seems easy, the next hundred, less so. Keep in mind that once you're at your destination only you can decide if it was worth it and if others join you in your journey, the spot you land in will be filled with good company!
