Also, "moderate Republican" is an oxymoron.
Donald Trump has lowered the bar to the point Republicans are voting for Democrats. That is all one must know to realize the situation is real.

Anyhoodles, back here on planet earth --- apparently you've been pissing off a lot of people with your bragging/condescending combo. You can either take heed or keep lashing out but, either way, the problem is most definitely YOU.
You are consistent if nothing else and you get some weird enjoyment from stirring the pot. It's the holidays so I will throw you a bone. Stir the pot if you must.

Very true!

My cousin in Los Angeles bought his home for $37k and now its worth 1.3 million.

Today you have accused Leslie and Robin (both long time BE members/prolific posters) of stirring the pot/being trolls. All they have done is called you out on the contents of your posts. Perhaps it is you who is stirring the pot/trolling.

• Top destinations: In raw terms of people moving, the top spot for Californians is Texas, which got 86,164 Californians in 2018. Next came Arizona (68,516), Washington (55,467), Nevada (50,707), and Oregon (43,058). All told, California had the most exits among the state and that wave grew by 4% in a year.

• Largest net gain: Texas also had the largest “net gain” from California — more ins than outs — with 48,354. Next was Arizona (34,846), Nevada (28,274), Oregon (19,008), and Washington (17,460).

Idaho only gets a mention if you do an analysis of ratios:

• Greatest ratio of ins to outs: Or look at the comings and goings as a ratio of ins to outs. Idaho wins this race with 497 arrivals from the Golden State for every 100 former Potato State residents who moved to California. Next was South Carolina (247 ins per 100 out); Texas (228); Nevada (226); and Arizona (203).
I suspect, purely through empirical evidence that more are coming into California than are leaving. All along hwy 680 from San Jose to Walnut Creek new home construction is booming. Many if not most are Asian immigrants working in Hi Tech/IT. I see the performance records of all the local schools have risen significantly.

I think that must be the case given that rising house prices indicate demand has far exceeded supply over the last decade. And out migration to neighbouring states in excess of in migration has been going on since way back.when. I've been expecting the California bubble to burst for ever and it hasn't happened. Of course, that doesn't mean it won't moving forward.

Yes, net population of CA is increasing, and the reason is more people are coming in from overseas than are leaving to other states. And this is not low-paid Mexican labor; this is high paid, high tech.

UPDATE - what I said above is wrong, according to this - https://qz.com/1599150/californias-p...ing-very-soon/ According to this (which I have no reason to doubt), "California’s population did still increase in 2018 by almost 160,000 people, largely due to the 480,000 people born in the state" ... "Besides births, the main reason California’s population hasn’t already started falling has been international migration into the state. Every year since 2011, net domestic migration has been negative—i.e., more people leave California than move in from other states. But from 2011 to 2016, the number of international migrants moving into California was larger than the number of locals who were moving out. Since then, however, domestic departures have outstripped international arrivals. In 2018, 156,000 locals left the state, compared to 118,000 international who came."

Making such an observation can get you labeled a racist :) . Absolutely nuts, but true.

For personal reasons, I kind of hope this trend will continue, I've lived in CA for 30 years and the growth of population has been insane.

I have no particular interest in this but amazing how many times you come across comments suggesting that they are not very welcomed.

Californians moving to neighbouring states? Well, sure, they tend to have lots of money and push up housing prices etc.
