Why are people leaving California and where are they going?

California had more babies born here over the last two years than people who have died so this population change isn’t about the birth and death rate.

[@johnjaco5544]

Why are people leaving???????Why do you think??????Da!Politics,crime,drugs,homeless,utilities,water,real estate,murders!Over crowding,traffic.

[@khawmtiti4460]

You forgot to mention natural disaster, pollution, trashes, gangs, illegal migration, health care cost, insurance, taxes, etc

[@anonymous-en5uq]

There's politics, murder, homelessness, utilities, water everywhere! If they don't have it now, they will have it. This is why Texans don't want Californians coming there because it makes properties more expensive. That's why the Idaho said their housing markets are close to Californians because they are moving there. No one wants Californians!😂😂😂

No worries, I'm scared of mormons and probably get lots of knocks on doors. Lol j/k. I'm disabled and my rent is about to double. It's really pushing out disabled and elderly this time.

I left CA in 2007 right after completing my MA degree and CA K-12 Teaching Credential for the Midwest. I am from Stockton, CA a town that has been labeled the top worse city in the USA. I love the Midwest and have absolutely no desire to return to my home state of California. I saw California's decline back in 2007 and got out.

Problem with California is that most of your check if not all goes to the ridiculously expensive utilities and rent and you practically have nothing left over to spend on yourself

California is a mess

[@tybarker5038]

Lol she moved to Houston from California. I grew up there and thought it was such a boring place to grow up. Now even more so as the amusement parks are all pretty much gone. A city of 2M+ with no amusement parks? Wild. The weather is awful most of the year too. Yes you can have a bigger house for less money. That’s about the only perk. But your kids will visit other places like California or Colorado and yearn to live somewhere like that and be disappointed when they have to return home to HOUSTON. Affordability and family are pretty much the only reasons to live there but even then it gets hard to justify. For me at least. I am single and childless. I can pretty much survive anywhere. It would be harder with a family depending on me. I’d probably have to settle for Houston, too, if that was my situation. And if she doesn’t feel safe with her kids playing outside in Sacramento, she’ll be well disappointed to find out Houston is the kidnapping/human trafficking hub of America so she needs to keep an extra close eye on her kids. Bunch of shady characters in that city they’re just hidden better in their cars as it’s a largely car dependent metropolis.

[@TL-ms6lp]

Why are you so worried about kids being bored if you are too poor to have them in California? Houston is growing pretty rapidly and there are probably more things to do here than you remember when you left. I'm having a good enough time that I don't miss California at all with the exception of family I left behind.

[@anonymous-en5uq]

Keep in mind, some people were born and raised in California and want to live somewhere else. Also, the money may go further but when you live in the Midwest, you travel less because you have to fly out to go to Disney Land, D.C., Atlanta, Las Vegas, anywhere in California or any place you want to go. We have more homeless because Eastern states give them a ticket to California live on the streets in warmer weather. We can drive when and where we want to go. No problem with fewer people in California. If you can't afford to stay, you can go.😂😂😂

[@geedee2420]

You have perfectly described the Marxist Democrats plan for California... Destroy and drive out the hardworking middle class families, import a "slave class" of preferably "dark skinned servants " so that "privileged Elites" like yourself can control and exploit them. Thank you for at least being honest about who and what you are.

For real the Midwest is SO. BORING. But I guess if you love sitting inside a house all day, it is PERFECT.
