It’s not all bad. Also betting that for every person leaving, there’s another coming in either from further east or from abroad. Same deal with people whinging being people leaving NYC or NJ. The replacement rate (mostly from abroad) is good enough to not cause a population loss.[/quote]
You’re right. The net migration from other states is INTO California, not out of California. Even for Texas, the latest migration estimates are that the net migration to Texas is pretty small, between 20 and 30K per year. (20 to 30 thousand more are moving to Texas from California than from Texas to California) At that rate, after 10 years, a whopping 1% of the population will have shifted. At least so far, there hasn’t been any large effect.
