Lol no, California may be losing some people, but it's still gaining a lot more. My hometown in the Bay Area continues to build more houses as well as the neighboring cities. It seems like every year there are more and more people on the road. As someone who actually lives in California I can assure you that we aren't losing population.
no, but you've gotta at least acknowledge there's a significant domestic net outmigration that's hindering its growth
Seems to me like California's growth model involves replacing less well off people leaving with better off people coming in.
My impression is that California is attracting poor immigrants and the well off while losing the middle class through out migration. Is this incorrect?
That's kind of hard to pin down though, because in some parts of California "middle class" is someone who makes $100,000 a year.
