In Just Two Years, Half a Million Residents Have Fled California

Gavin Newsom, the wannabe President of the United States has been spending a lot time pretending to be a Florida opponent. Newsom is promoting California as the real deal. “freedom” state Please control your laughter, and invite Americans to visit the Golden State to enjoy wonderful amenities such as abortion on-demand right up to the moment of birth or state-funded transgender surgery.

Unfortunately for Newsom’s phantom presidential campaign, the stats don’t match the drapes.

Recent census statistics have shown that California has lost Over 500,000 residents have moved in the last two years years. That’s 143,000 more people than New York state lost during the same period. Both states saw massive migrations from red states such as Texas, Utah, and Florida. Between 2020 and 2022, Texas saw an increase of 700,000. Florida, however, welcomed almost 900,000.

A large portion of net migration from California was caused by this. “people seeking safe refuge during the pandemic” With parents or friends, it can cause people to “get out of the central cities,” Dowell Myers, an assistant professor of policy planning and demography at USC, said this.

Newsom’s extended school closures, suffocating business closures and rigid vaccine mandates served to drive families and business owners out of the state in droves in search of schooling and a better business environment.

It seems they just couldn’t handle all that California Dystopian It is utopian freedom.

There are many other reasons Americans have left the USA. “left coast.” Taxes and housing costs are both the highest in the country. It isn’t a welcoming environment for young families.

The state “still attracts them, it just can’t hold them as well,” Myers noted that many young people are renters and then move to lower housing prices elsewhere.

“People who are leaving are much more likely to be homeowners after they leave,” He elaborated.

The housing issue can be augmented by the hellacious crime rates, There are open-air drug trades and a growing homeless crisis. California is becoming increasingly unlivable. It is also clear that there are no legislators who have the political will or ability to fix anything. Things will only get worse.

Gavin Newsom is in the third year of a COVID emergency. The vowed end of the era will be February 28, 2023. It remains to see if he keeps that promise. That is the conclusion. “15 days to slow the spread” has turned into three years, it doesn’t seem likely.

In the meantime, California’s well-dressed non-candidate will pretend it is still the land where opportunity exists, even as Californians move to greener pastures.
