I agree. They made their mess, they should have to lay in it.

The ones leaving have probably realized there is no way to dig out of that hole. Now they're going to bring their bad ideas and voting power somewhere else.

Hey now, that's my trigger word.  Where's my EB safe space???

 
Something seems fishy about this article.  It attributes residents leaving CA due to increased home construction, increased congestion, and a growing job market.  All three of these things are indicative of an increasing population, not decreasing. 

The article states this:  "California has seen negative outward migration to other states for 22 of the last 25 years."

Yet, here is what the census shows:

I also thought this was odd.  "Eaton and her sister had a $724,000 house in The Villages in South San Jose that they sold before moving to Ohio. Their mortgage payments were $2,200 a month, plus $1,000 for association fees in the gated community." 

A $2200 mortgage for a 3/4 $Million house is pretty damn good!  My mortgage is just a little less than that and my loan balance is about half that.  And $1,000 HOA for a gated community in a nice neighborhood is not bad at all (I'm assuming that the $1000 is annual and the monthly is $83).   

I'm not buying this outflow of CA residents to other states.  I predict there will always be an overall state influx.  I do agree that perhaps low income and middle income residents are getting squeezed out of prominent cities but that's not what this article's emphasis is about.

maybe the new pilgrims coming from south of the border are filling the ranks of those that leave?  All in all if the economy is robust those #'s are fairly stagnant, but you all stay there just in case!
