California Reports Population Loss For Second Straight Year

[Yappi]

The state of California reported its first ever population decline in 2020, stating that it lost 182,083 people over the 2019-2020 year from July 1, 2019 to July 1, 2020.

On Friday, for the second straight year, the Golden State has once again reported a loss in population. This time, approximately 173,000 people.

It was also the first time that the state has ever reported loss from both Los Angeles County, and the nine counties surrounding the San Francisco Bay Area – Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, Napa, San Francisco, San Mateo, Santa Clara, Solano, and Sonoma.

Clearly Californians are fed up with overbearing Leftist policies and mandates, thus causing them to flee the state in droves. ?

Yep.

California is what Democrats want to do to the rest of the country ...


and people keep voting for it.

 

[Hammerdrill]

Hopefully they are all conservatives, who are leaving.

If we weren’t also counting all their illegal aliens in the census, maybe Ohio could get 19 House of Representatives seats again ?

2025 Census ? An amendment could make it a thing. How many disgusted with Democrats Districts would have to flip to negate a Babbling Biden veto ?

Sky high cost of living, water and electrical shortages, homeless camps out the ying Yang in the major cities, wild fires, earthquakes. Outside of the natural beauty, what’s ideal about living there?

Nothing. Sunday morning NFL might be cool, I guess.

God made a beautiful place out of the crud that a tectonic plate had plowed up off of the bottom of the ocean. Then, later, the liberals congregated there and ruined it.

Unfortunately, they will move to other states, and vote for the same lousy type of candidates.

The problem is that is not true it seems that many liberal Democrats are escaping California for greener and less costly pastures. The problem with this happening is when they go to vote in their new state and home they vote for the same type of candidates that brought the problems to California. Stupid is that stupid does.

Some will. Some moved because they are conservatives that have been marginalized by Cali's moronic contingent of Dem voters for years.

Some will, some won't. It will be interesting to follow. Beware of fake centrists.

Not interesting at all. Just take a look at the City of Austin Texas. What is happening there?

 

[gneiss rocks]

Even with all the servants they import the population is going down? They have such a diverse population, the elites and the ruling class, the surfs, and the street poopers.

 

[OhioBobcatFan06]

California needs to make abortions mandatory to further reduce overpopulation in the state which is driving climate change

Austin was always the most liberal city is Texas, wasn't it ?

This is a drop of less than 1/2 of 1% on California's population of ~39.5 Million (nearly 4X bigger than Ohio)-- this would be equivalent to Ohio seeing a drop of ~50,000 people. It is really only notable because, until recently, CA's population has only gone one way-- UP. It is a reversal of trend, but it hardly constitutes anyone fleeing the state "in droves".

If housing were as affordable in the CA big cities as it is in Ohio, there would be a population in-rush to CA of epic proportions... many of these people leaving are leaving NOT because they would prefer to live elsewhere, but because they feel compelled to move by economic hardship-- even with decent jobs and family income, they simply can not afford to buy a house in many areas of CA-- which is a reflection of just how vast the number of people is that still wants to live in CA-- particularly in the (most liberal) big cities of CA.

You can't really compare Ohio and California. Ohio gains and loses people that were born in the United States. California relies on relaxed immigration rules to pump up their population. More than one quarter of Californians were born in another country. That means California has a population of foreign born residents that equals Ohio's total population.

California courts immigrants (legal and illegal) to prop up their population. With a strong President that is against the free-flow of migrants crossing the border, the population of California was bound to slow it's growth or actually lose population. Trump and the pandemic worked against California's growth plan but Biden is likely to help them surge again.

IMO, representation in Congress should be based on legal US citizens. California has found a loophole that gives them more power and they plan to keep manipulating that loophole for their power grab.

No, it's extremely significant year over year. A state rapidly growing is increasing in population 1% to 1.5%. So Texas, Florida, Oregon, Washington State, the Carolinas. A state rapidly losing population is at -0.5% to -1%. So Michigan, West Virginia, New York, Mississippi. The club you don't want to be in. Remember, children are being born everywhere constantly. It's not just "50,000 or 200,000 people." New births no longer offset the loss of current residents.

We can debate the reasons why but California is undisputably losing population in a bad way.

First order of business in the new '22 House might be legislation outlining a selective and incremental defunding process of "sanctuary cities" that ignore federal immigration STATUTE ? Make Joe veto a quick one ?
