"Drain" and "hemorrhaging" carry such negative connotations. While there are some tough logistics involved in keeping infrastructure/operations/policy aligned with changing demographics, we really don't need everyone living in one state. It's not a competition.

If people who don't want to live in California leave for somewhere they'd rather be, that's probably ideal for everybody. I like it here and would rather collaborate with other neighbors who like it rather than neighbors who loathe it and stick around anyway. I'm pretty sure there will be enough of us left to make it work alright.

As long as most of them don't come to my state. (Not a slam against Californians specifically, just a fear of a greater population increase).


How long will the emptied houses/apartments/condos stay empty? My guess is they will be refilled almost immediately.
