Love to see numbers on this. At least in the Bay Area, you have long time residents leaving and being replaced by foreign workers. Combine that with natural population growth and I think it shows that the issue is complex. Yes, people are leaving California.
People leave every state. How is that news ? The long time propaganda and perception has been that California has had a net population loss. But that is a myth, because domestic folks are being replaced by higher paid foreign workers. Even domestically, the people going out have a median wage of 50k, and those coming in have a median wage of $100k
