"The Exodus: Understanding California's Population Decline"

California's population has dropped to an estimated 38.9 million, down by 573,000 from its peak in 2020, with people leaving the state due to high housing costs, regulatory issues, and remote work opportunities. Factors contributing to the exodus include a declining birth rate, pandemic-related deaths, and reduced immigration. Governor Newsom's policies and the state's liberal politics have also prompted some conservatives to leave. The population loss may lead to less congestion but also reduced tax revenue and political influence, with potential solutions including offering free tuition at public universities for California residents.

The Exodus from California: Why Residents are Leaving

California's population has dropped to an estimated 38.9 million, down by 573,000 from its peak in 2020, with out-of-state migration being the main cause. Reasons for the exodus include high cost of living, particularly housing, and remote work opportunities during the pandemic. The state's high taxes, regulatory challenges, and political climate have also contributed to the population loss. This decline may lead to less congestion but also less tax revenue and political influence, with potential future impacts on the state's budget and representation in Congress.
