691,000 people moved out of California last year. Here's where they went.

People move in and out of states all the time, for a state of 40 million people it is barely a blip (190,000).

Also don't assume everyone who moves in is going to LA or San Fran. The suburbs in all major cities are growing as commercial centers as businesses move out of the cities (where was Amazon setting up their HQ? Where is Google located?).
 
Looks like they are going to ruin Texas and Arizona. I thought I heard Arizona is running out of water anyway. Wish they would all move to Oregon or New England.

Just about everywhere, including where I live, has an understandable hate for Californians.

They move out of CA because they hate the laws and the taxes, and in 2 years we're starting to see their laws and taxes coming to my state. Property values are outpacing the local average home wage, new gun laws are coming up every election, and we haven't seen anything but the lefty-ist democrat candidates win. These people are idiots. The news recently decided to refuse to celebrate Columbus Day instead calling it Indigenous People's day. They're not even celebrating American holidays anymore. They don't integrate. They vote their stupid lifestyle they were running from back in.


Build a wall.
 
The northeast states have CA beat on this. The taxpayer base in NY, NJ, CT has been on a steady downward trajectory over the past decade as property taxes spiral out of control. The next financial crisis will uneven across the country and certain states will all but implode. There will be state+municipal insolvencies when their debt ratings go into the C's.

There's been quite a bit of media attention lately, including pieces in the NYT and the WSJ - questioning whether California has become unlivable.

The essential premise is the convergence of the lack of affordable residential living space, overcrowding, massive homelessness and vagrancy, rampant hard drug use, crime and law enforcement, clogged highways and ridiculous commutes, high energy costs, rampant wildfires, sustainable fresh water supplies, an unfairly skewed property tax system that benefits long term legacy property owners to the detriment of more recent buyers, and on and on.
