California Exodus
David Lee Roth - California Girls
The attractions just aren't as pretty anymore...
The California exodus is a disputed mass emigration of residents and businesses from California to other U.S. states,
especially Texas and Florida. The cause and existence of this migration has been extensively debated. The term became
popular during the COVID-19 pandemic. During the first year of the pandemic, Los Angeles lost almost 176000 residents,
the second-biggest drop among U.S. metro areas. More than 360,000 people left California in 2021. The California Exodus
Is Real · California has morphed from a land of limitless opportunity to a highly regulated land of limits and control.
Blame the pandemic, falling birthrates, immigration restrictions and an exodus of residents looking for cheaper places to live.
Discussion of the flight from California has often focused on the state’s high tax rate, its expensive housing and high cost
of living, and quality-of-life concerns such as homelessness, particularly in more conservative circles. They may be leaving,
but where are they actually going? Researchers pointed out that people who left San Francisco for instance typically had not
moved far, with many favouring Sierra-area counties and most staying in California.
“In short, to date the pandemic has not so much propelled people out of California as it has shifted them around
within it,” researchers said. “The absence of a pronounced exodus from the state should come as a relief to people
concerned about effects on state tax revenues.” : https://reason.com/2021/05/21/the-california-exodus-is-real/
