Yet if there was this exodus of people leaving California & no one coming in to replace them, then values would be trending downward… particularly in Uber the expensive area like Silicon Valley… since those folks are supposedly packing up & leaving.

" California’s population fell by more than 182,000 last year, the first yearly loss ever recorded for the nation’s most populous state that halted a growth streak dating to its founding in 1850 on the heels of a gold rush that prompted a flood of people to seek their fortune in the West."

Seems you are wrong.

Well, it is a day that ends in Y

If you look at the map, the red states are primarily producing states--the huge southern and heartland agricultural belt plus the natural-resources-rich western states. They have production-based economies.

The blue states have finance-based economies. Money gravitates toward the centers of finance, even when the basis for the money is the production activities in the production areas.

If you look as US economic policies over the last 50-75 years, they have been largely anti-production and pro-consumption. What we need is a return to pro-production economic policies. Republicans don't seem to understand this as well as they should, and democrats are 180 degrees out from it.

Seems you are wrong.

There are 40 million people in the state… their population dropped by a whopping .0046%. Is this the great exodus?

That's not what you insinuated in your post. You implied no one was leaving without being replaced which is wrong. You might also note this is the first time this has happened in many years which is significant.

First time ever.. All the way back to statehood and the gold rush. More people are leaving CA than moving to CA.

That's cause California, much like all blue states, is a chithole.
