How many Californians moved to your state? Californication!

How many Californians moved to your state? Californication!
Have you ever wanted to know how many Californias move to each state every year? Judging by the number of comments I get every single video I'm sure it is something a lot of people spend a lot of time thinking about.
Every state gets some Californians every single year. Iowa, Vermont, Colorado, Oregon, and Texas. No state escaped this migration.
How many did your state get?

Dude, I'm more concerned about New Yorkers moving to Florida. And though there is nothing wrong with this except for the fact that so many retirees already live there and this is making the housing cost go way up. Another problem with over populated areas in Florida is sink holes. As more water is pumped out that will become more of a problem. Not to mention what it will do to the ocean environment. I don’t live there it’s just concerning to me. For example, the building that collapsed last year.

[@Cheesus4jesus]

A lot of Californians leaving the state are probably from somewhere else or they're 2nd generation. Many people I know were born and raised in the South, moved to California and then went back South due to family and more affordable housing. One thing never discussed much in these types of forums is the sentiment that many native Californians share, by native I mean their families have been there at least 4-5 generations, is they feel their state was ruined by the huge numbers of people who moved to CA from elsewhere. Some are angry because they see that people moved to CA to take advantage of higher welfare payments. Many feel the homeless problem was started by non Californians who moved there because of weather, dreams of the good life etc, who couldn't afford CA to begin with. What a lot of people don't realize is how many Californians have been forced out of their towns, because of outsiders moving in and driving up housing costs. Just consider Silicon Valley, the Bay Area and coastal areas. Industry brought in non Californians to fill many high paying tech jobs. So a house that cost $50 k forty years ago is now selling for a million bucks. Much of what drove housing costs up was the number of wealthy people buying second homes. They can rent them on Airbnb and make 3x the money vs renting to locals, which also contributed to homelessness.

[@howardsmith9342]

This is an interesting perspective. So the same thing that is happening to us with all the California's moving in, happened to you guys. Lots of people moving in, clogging up the roads and driving up the price of everything, etc, made worse by all the rich people. We're seeing that problem here in Utah, with millionaires building McMansions up the mountainside and real estate investors grabbing up all the affordable housing. It sucks to the point I'm trying to figure out where I can bug out to.

yes i agree. In fact 3 years ago I saw a FOXNEWS poll that indicated that 56% of those polled in a specific FOXNEWS poll that MOVED to TX from CA were conservative, and the other 44% that moved to TX from CA were Democrat voters. Therefore this means that most people (or at least more than half by many) that move to TX from CA, as well from other blue states like WA and OR are actually conservative and MOVE to TX from these blue states FOR that reason alone, They are sick of big government and greedy high taxing politicians that only use the people as an ATM machine rather than as Americans that have rights, constitutional rights at that. I myself was born and raised in CA and moved to MN at the age of 25 and always voted Republican and always will be conservative. MN is pretty much a red state now, don't let all the riots and BLM and ANTIFA presence and looting and protesting fool you, for its a very small group of people running around in Minneapolis with friendly media coverage. The people of MN including many of those in the Twin cities are now conservative and have walked away from the left. I know because i live here, and in 2012 when Obama was seeking reelection i saw nothing but Obama signs everywhere in the cities here in MN. But in 2020 and 2016 I hardly saw ANY Hillary Clinton signs and EVEN LESS Joe Biden signs. Many people i know in MN that voted for Obama and voted Democcrat for years are now conservative voters who have switched they're polticial registration officially. And they are not alone, MN is pretty damn red, especially when going up north. Northern MN is now extremely republican conservative. It used to be blue, but those days are now long and gone. There is hope ladies and gents.There is hope.

That's an interesting perspective to hear. I also feel that way about people who moved to california. Why did they move here when it's so much more expensive than where they're coming from? I mean sure there are a lot of high-paying jobs but nowadays you don't actually have to be in California to get those jobs. My oldest brother and his wife and son moved to Idaho about 5 or 6 years ago and their life really got so much better since they moved there as $15 an hour was enough for my brother just for them to buy a house in 2 years while over here $15 an hour is just barely enough to get by. The reason Californians moved to Idaho primarily is because it's way more affordable although I'm sorry to say I'm aware that the cost of living is now going up in Idaho as a result. Another reason California has moved to Idaho I've heard is actually because Republican votes just don't matter in California and there are Republican strongholds in California like Anaheim or the Central Valley or some parts even more north than what you would normally consider Northern California. So actually the majority of people from California who moved to Idaho are Republicans who feel like their vote just doesn't count.

Buying a house in Boise was pocket change for many of them. I believe a lot of them retired there.

[@cherylburton959]

I am a Texan who wishes they would stay on the west coast. My daughter had to pay 20% over asking price in Austin to get a house. It is ridiculous. They can come here and pay cash. Driving our housing market up and we don't like it. Our taxes are high enough.

[@janeforever]

We have to stay in CA instead of moving back home to central TX where our families are. RE taxes for our daughter in Austin were $17k last year, more than triple our CA property taxes, even adding state income tax.😬

[@nonjoiner5777]

You ought to try to buy a home in California! It goes both ways. People move around, I will never be able to afford a home in my home town because of Oprah, ellen, and all the other gross elites. Dumps in Santa Barbara are over a million. The natives didn't do that. I live in the Ca desert. It's a beautiful place, but I see them coming! Comps will go up but so will traffic. It's a tough pill no matter where you live i guess. Have a great day in Texas! Take care!

[@efandmk3382]

No. This is where you sell, make a huge profit, and then move to another hell hole like Tennessee.

It’s a free, capitalist country. People can move where they wish.

[@robbakes1694]

hey, been a subscriber from sometime now, love the shows! i just wanted to chime and and say that a lot of the people "moving" to South Dakota might actually just be changing their residence as a technicality for registration of an RV. Sounds a little weird but i did the RV thing for a little bit and i found out from other RVers that a lot of nomads us an address in SD to register their motorhomes as a way of taking advantage of the states lenient tax policies.

[@Kathleen67.]

Correct, good point.

[@kinky_Z]

I have a friend in Philly who does that. lol!

[@philjon]

I knew we would be number 1. Stop moving here we are full. From Houston, TX with love!

[@cornxx3]

My thoughts exactly. Houston area too. Thankfully I already have my car but housing has become a huge problem down here and cant even afford to buy/own. The market is ridiculous!

[@RobinP556]

I live in TN. I see a lot more people from Chicago than all of. California. But either way , we’re full.

[@anti-consumerism6178]

Same. I live in Indiana and work with someone from Chicago. Probably just cause it's alot closer to us

[@naomiemoore5725]

Love to visit though! Pre covid I was in TN at least twice a year.

Sixth generation Californian (very red), now in E. TN. and very thankful.

[@markdalbey]

My roots are in California. Not only was I born there, my mother was born there in 1932. I now live in Vegas. It is hell on earth. I would like to move home, but can't, because all of these out of work out of staters moved to California in the 70s and 80s. They are perfectly free to move to the states they are from, so I can move home!

Next video could be the amount of Californians moved on the main Texan cities like Austin, Houston and wherever those Californians moved in tx. Thank you for such a very entertaining material you make 🙏🏻

[@davisholman6518]

Arizona here - two families on our street have moved here in the last year. They are coming in droves!😳

[@celestepalm6949]

Bet the # of RV nomads leaving CA in droves is pretty high too. I'm a CA native & in the past 20+ years it's just become too dang expensive to live here unless you're pulling in at least a high 5 figures. America's present 'Death by a Thousand Cuts' economy is a nationwide problem, but it's particularly egregious in CA. The current cost of living is out of reach for more & more people.

[@anamarte7547]

I love how wonderfully you worded this. It indeed has become a nationwide problem. This has also highlighted a massive problem when you actually observe the country upfront: This country is HUGE. An understatement. And I’d say about 1/3rd of the states are borderline empty despite being bigger than many countries (the Midwest for the most part). Why does no one want to live in those places? I understand minorities and indigenous peoples wanting nothing to do with those places (my own family survived the Tulsa massacre of the 1920s and made a vow to never come back. My great-great grandparents were clothesmakers/tailors and relatively well off because of it. Great-great grandfather got lynched and grandma drove down to Texas before settling in Mexico and then I got my butt up north for college 😅). Anyways, why does everyone else avoid the midlands if the goal is to have affordable housing, community, and jobs? Why can’t these be made there? The big takeaway from the Briggs videos as well as most videos like these here is that the cost of living is piping hot in the outer edges of the country (including TX) and that the desired mentality, education, and sociability is in those regions but lacking for the most part in the midlands (or simply not an option for about 25% of people due to fear because of the large number of hate groups in the midlands). Something’s gotta give soon I think. I just hope not a crash like the 1929 crash.

[@carolbutler6932]

Greetings from Texafornia!.........Scary place!

[@cherrlyn381]

Guessing a lot of those moving Cali are moving back home.

[@ILoveCostcoPizza]

Or just people who just like to move because they don't stay in one place to long.

[@catchcourtcourt]

I'm looking to leave California myself. My family has been here several generations, when it was Mexico. It's sad but I have had a front row seat to see my states demise. I won't be bringing any blue with me. I know what that mindset does to a community.

[@catchcourtcourt]

@Big Dick Black got it. However I pay a ton I. Taxed and the roads are garbage. I paid 500k for my house and I have a homeless camp literally in the alley behind me. Everything is expensive, even parking at the beach which I can’t even enjoy because of the homeless population, they smell and are dirty. I live in the suburbs of LA and while what you said sounds great when typed out, living here is another story. I’ve been here 46 years, it has never been as bad as it has been within the last 10 years

[@catchcourtcourt]

@Big Dick Black Los Angeles is a different story my friend.

[@catchcourtcourt]

@Big Dick Black like I said I’m in the suburbs and we have LA problems. Have a lovely day

[@catchcourtcourt]

@Big Dick Black I wasn’t whining. You came sniffing around here and did a condescending HAHAHA when i wasn’t talking to you, i was responding to the video. I do plan on moving once I defend my dissertation in May. I was trying to be polite and you accused me of whining. You’re replies were weird and then accuse me of something that wasn’t the case. Have a lovely day.

[@SatanikanataS]

This explains the change in the housing market in Oklahoma.

[@CapriciousCapricrn]

My neighbors moved from Wisconsin to here in California. They love it here!

[@ATH_Berkshire]

It would be interesting to know how meany of the moves are “military moves”.

[@GardenerEarthGuy]

Pretty much everyone works for the military in one way or another.

[@robertmoore2049]

I’m one of those military moves, going from California to Florida via the Navy back in 1984 and I never left.

[@MrKim-kv2vv]

A lot of military related personnel move from CA to “back home”. I know two Air Force families just recently left CA to Arkansas. Another a few years ago to Tennessee...

[@pussbeaver1218]

They probably don’t count ... unless you change your home of record. When military personnel move they move on orders and don’t really count as residents of their new home. But I could be wrong on this .

[@quirkyviewer8991]

Many wives change their home of record with every PCS. Plus, moving from Virginia to California (San Diego) and back again happens all the time! The Virginia numbers are extremely skewed!

[@jakef1977]

I live in Redding California and I see multiple Idaho, washington, and Oregon license plates every single day. We laugh about it all the time. We figure it's just people coming back to see family and friends. All states have problems. Far Northern California is as nice as anywhere. Our government sucks but the area is worth it.

[@Andy-hi9do]

I would've loved to move up north. But then I remember they gotta deal with SoCal bullshit ass lawmakers. So I decided to do a job transfer to VA for the time being haha. Same Beautiful wildlife, commonwealth laws aren't as extreme as California.

Live down the road in Butte County. Only thing I hate about North State are the wildfires. Been in this area since 2008 and I can count on about three fingers the summers/falls we haven't had some massive wildfire nearby. I'm pretty damned tired of it.

@@jeffmorse645 I'm a native of the north state the 1st 18 years of my life were spent in Siskiyou County. Left to go to school I've been working my way back to "home" but landed In Redding in 2000. That's where I stalled out. Wildfires are just kind of a way of life for me I really don't pay much attention to them anymore but the last few have gotten my attention half the town I grew up in is now gone.

[@jeffmorse645]

@@jakef1977 I lived in the Central Sierra much of my life. I can remember when wildfires weren't such a big deal. Since I moved up north its been off the scale. I mean, in my county the last three years 100 people have died and 18,000 homes were destroyed between the Camp Fire and the Bear Fire. Its ridiculous. Even before that there were fairly major fires in the East Foothills of Oroville about three different summers. Its just getting to be too much.
