https://news.yahoo.com/california-population-fell-more-180-181703277.html Pretty easy to see why Newsom is getting recalled (even though he'll win against Caitlyn Jenner). Apparently, the strict lockdowns, the homeless issues (with extremely corrupt overpriced developments), the high taxes, and high regulations can't make up for the best weather and most diverse landscape (beach/desert/forest/mountains) in the country. The workforce is more mobile than ever. With states competing, it's easier for businesses to go where employees are best treated. Yes, the best schools and our most iconic cities are in CA, Chicago, and the Northeast, but apparently companies are not finding it that difficult to attract human capital to TX, TN, and FL. These 3 states in particular have the infrastructure (DFW, Houston, Austin, San Antonio, Nashville, South Florida, Tampa Bay, Orlando, Jacksonville) and ability to attract human capital along with no state income tax.
Thats great news.People are moving to other states while still voting democrat,especially on the federal level.
Thanks to the consensus... More minorities are moving (migrating) into areas of other states and other cities within the same state...helping to spread out the Democratic map. Simply, if the GOP were pssst off about the 2020 U.S. Elections...they're going to faint or cry in the 2024 U.S. Elections because they can not come to grips that the ethnic communities are the largest (fastest) growing communities in the United States. This is why I strongly believe another traditionally strong red state in the south or out west will fall in the 2024 elections. wrbtrader
Like CO,NV and AZ.All have 2 Dem Senators and voted for Biden. I have been wishing for years for Dems in big blue states to start spreading out.
the fascist GOP see the writing on the wall in Texas and are restricting the vote to prevent it. It's whitey's "you gotta cheat to win" attitude.
That is a backward way to look at things. The left gets away with massive taxes in productive areas... because it was so hard to move operations and people... In the long run the people respond to the incentives and the long run is getting much shorter. The cream are leaving ask Elon Musk and Hewlett Packard and others. You give away a lot of free stuff you get a lot more takers. You tax the shit heck of the productive you lose a lot of makers. The top 1% pay half of CA income tax. and I read only 33 percent of CA pay income tax. Its a really stupid greedy backwards and possibly soon to be completely outdated and zoomed out of existence way to raise revenue. (if silicon valley (or some replacement) ceases to generate massive capital gains taxes to the same degree it has been.)
Climate Migration Has Come to the United States After living through a spate of record-breaking wildfires, some Californians are opting to leave the state. By Kate Wheeling April 16, 2021 "In September of 2020, California was in the midst of a record-setting heat wave. The hot and dry conditions fueled fires all over the state, and smoke from wildfires hundreds of miles away hung over the Bay Area for weeks. Andrew Kornblatt woke up one morning at his home in Berkeley to find that the air had grown cool and still, and the sky was an eerie orange. “It hit at the lizard brain part of your noggin, trying to tell you to just run,” Kornblatt said. “And you’re thinking to yourself, well where are you going to go with this flight response?” "By November, Kornblatt and his wife, who both grew up in the Bay Area, had left California for Oregon. "They’re hardly alone. At least 57 percent of Americans believe that weather- or climate-related events will influence their future moving decisions, according to a recent study published in Climatic Change. “We’ve never asked this kind of question before in the context of the United States. Because climate-induced migration has always been discussed in the context of the global south,” said Byungdoo Kim, a doctoral candidate in environmental communication at Cornell University and lead author of the study. “But recently, we’ve been through a lot here in the United States.” "It’s not just California..."

Seeing that the state of California itself blamed the wildfires on improper forest management rather than "climate change" --- it is amusing to see an article trying to blame migration from California based on "climate change" rather than the states very poor policies with their forests.
