Study: There Was No ‘Mass Exodus’ From California In 2020

BERKELEY (AP) – A popular notion that there was a mass exodus from California last year is wrong, according to research from a nonpartisan think tank. 

Most moves during 2020 happened within the state, the California Policy Lab said Thursday.

  1. I live in Phoenix and the real estate market here begs to differ.

  2. Bullshit article which is written solely to take heat off pretty boy Gavin ahead of his recall. Independent think tank - right. Californians are leaving in droves. Throw a rock anywhere in Texas and you'll hit one of these misplaced liberals.

    1. Just not hard enough to make them a valuable addition is the only problem with your rock tossing idea.
      Effort is needed to make good compost.

    2. Well, the Californians are leaving, but they are being replaced by mexicans as fast as they leave.

    3. Misplaced liberals? Are all the people here from central America misplaced? Invasive species is what they are.

    4. While not limited to California expatriates, a poll in 2018 revealed that more non-native Texans supported Ted Cruz in his race against Beto O'Rourke than native Texans did.

  3. Probably was a net increase. For every one Californian that left, two illegals came in.

  4. The bastards are leaving in droves and still voting democrat. They are like an infection and spreading.

  5. Just talked to a friend in Colorado who's a realtor. Houses are selling FOR CASH 100,000 OVER ASKING IN HOURS, no inspections, no appraisals. There's literally nothing on the market. (and avg price in denver metro is over 600k so it's not like people are buying 100k houses).

    Now Colorado is a lost cause (i.e. California East) but most people don't really see that yet. (native coloradoan's do) but they will in a year or two. Those people are coming from somewhere. It isn't Iowa.

  6. "California ranks last by a wide margin, supplanting Illinois as the state with the greatest net loss of U-Haul trucks."

  7. Home prices are skyrocketing in the Sacramento area due to all the people from the Bay Area moving there.

  8. The U-haul index: 4 grand to rent a truck that'll hold a house LEAVING Ca, 1 grand for the same truck if you want to go INTO Ca. Sure, some moves are intra-state, maybe even most. Intra state is irrelevant, though. Net Out/In is what everyone is looking at, and those numbers are impossible to hide.

      And it doesn't matter all that much in the short term whether the differential comes from increased outflow or decreased inflow (or both). Eventually, how it happened will show up in census figures and all the chicanery that derives from those.

  9. I'll bet real $$ that they got this "no mass exodus" by looking at out-migration rates in 2020 relative to 2019 and 2018. It's been going on for awhile now. Living in Nashville, TN, I see multiple cali plates every day on my commute between work and home.
    These locusts are very open about how wonderful the low taxes and dozens of chik-fil-a's they find here. But they are also very open about how terrible it is outside Nashville metro, because there are "too many Trump nazis."
    Now THAT is a special kind of stupid.
    Nashville and Knoxville will probably sink this state in a couple of generations. Maybe my grandchildren will need to move to California for low population density and low taxes! Of course, it will probably be part of Mexico again by that point.

  10. The way to skew the numbers is by comparing to just the previous year. Which means the exodus has been going on for a while, but no one talked about it.

  11. Finally going to be escaping myself within the next month or so. While I will definitely miss some aspects of living here, all in all, happy to be going.

  12. Follow the money-
    "The California Policy Lab pairs trusted experts from the University of California with policymakers to solve our most urgent social problems, including homelessness, poverty, crime, and education inequality."

    The University of California is a wholly owned subsidiary of California state government. When Gavin Newsom says 'Jump' guess what UC people do?
    This 'Study' is a perfect example of garbage in, garbage out.

  13. If I ever get a chance to leave CA (my dad lives here and he is still kickin'), I will put a sign on the tailgate of my pickup "Not a hippie and not a commie, a refugee" so the locals in my new home don't lynch me. USMC Ret

  14. This survey quoted was from the "California Policy Lab." Here's what I found on that web site:
    "The California Policy Lab pairs trusted experts from the University of California with policymakers to solve our most urgent social problems, including homelessness, poverty, crime, and education inequality." If that description doesn't cause klaxon horns to sound, what would?

    California is predicted to lose a Congressman after the new census, which pretty much tells you all you need to know. Articles concerning the 2010 census said that California would have lost population except for immigration. Every illegal south of the Rio Grande dreams of making it to California, whether he winds up there or not.

  16. Berzerkeley - the medical center developed a pretty good ankle brace, but the rest of the school, too many liberals.
    I'd maybe take any of their 'research' if it's backed by less 'woke' institutions, but that's it.
    As far as I'm concerned, it started before Y2K.

  17. I met a middle aged man recently, he moved from Malibu CA to South Carolina to get out of the madness. I was very shocked to hear him talk about how bad LA was.

  18. Just bought a plot in Nevada. The real estate agent begs to differ with that headline.

  19. I can imagine a convoy of Bradley Fighting Vehicles crossing the California border into Arizona, their crews throwing open their hatches, and breathing free air for the first time.

    If anybody suggests a vacation into California, I think BFVs should be an essential part of the luggage.
