Right now there is a net out migration from the state. Much of this is due to housing costs. IMO the housing correction is happening and will get much worse before it gets better. This will be a drag on the economy which can sustain the net out migration we are currently seeing. Once this correction plays out, California will go back to being California. Population growth will resume and businesses will want to be based here again. So can California add 15 million by 2030, sure its possible. Th next 5 to 7 years will not see much growth though. Of course this is my opinion.
