Exodus from Los Angeles County continues as more than 90k leave area

- The latest estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau shows that Los Angeles County led the nation in population decrease in 2022, with more than 90k people moving away. Tena Ezzeddine takes a look at a number of factors that may have led to the exodus which has now continued for the last three years.
90k gone and im still stuck in traffic
No kidding right. Barely noticeable
Ahh, 100k moved in 😝
Drop in the bucket
@愛 nope state is declining to down 800000 in 3 years that's About to drop under 39million. LA county is down to under 10million now
Still no parking either!
Who could have ever guessed that making housing entirely unaffordable and letting everything go to shit would drive people away. Honestly, I never could have foreseen it.
Yes 🙌 speak truth
Making housing unaffordable? What does that mean? Nobody controls capitalism supply and demand. If I want to buy an apartment building and double the rent it’s my choice. The capitalist choice. That’s how it works.
Who could have guessed a bunch of people from out of State moving to southern California would have caused housing to become unaffordable? Me.
Your comment cracked me up….because it is right!
@DavidPerez-lw3tn Yeah,
I agree you can also start shipping people here .and put them in one apartment at individual pay at 500.laws are on your side rn jack it to 4000 but each person renting thinks it's a steal.good luck.
What California, Illinois and NY are experiencing is not just population loss, but the loss of people who pay the taxes for all the social programs in those states.
A lot of Asians'd love to buy those penthouses. The population decreases, attracting new residents who can afford to pay more for health care and services in the county. It may be time for the public hospitals to have valet parking services.
Not to mention crime is an another level
Say more my brother
Believe it or not Illinois is growing sorry to burst your bubble
Shithole democrat cities and states. Of course.
Florida cost of living is also getting completely ridiculous.
Alot of people I've met have told me they come from other places I've met about 2 people who were actually from Florida...
Funny how there aren’t any conservatives flocking
You need to cross out the word “getting” from that sentence.
@@Pandora234able ofc not, most conservatives don't live in big cities like liberals usually do.
It’s only going to get worse. Think of moving before your taxes skyrocket and your cost of living is through the roof.
It's almost hopeless for younger people to get into their own homes anymore.
Watch me not care.
Average intelligence level is dwindling down.
Even if they inherit the home. They probably won't be able to afford taxes. Better sell quick while you can.
@@richardmorris7063 sell? Then what? Ever increasing rent will eventually eat you, with all that money burned away.
You will own nothing and be happy
It blows my mind how 90k people can leave but 90k people can’t protest and stand up to the BS that these soft judges, lawmakers and city officials have turned the area into.
Protest doesn't lower rent
Why should they ? They are only drowned out by the losers who voted for this crap.
This is how blue states are going to die.
No they just leave and vote the same way in their new city and F everything there up too.

@@junkboxxxxxx
I clicked on the video because I find it entertaining that people are leaving that dump of a city, and dump of a state.
Yea, LA is ugly and has many problems that annoy the heck out of me but truth be told if you have money and time there's no place like California. For example, last week I took my boat to the ocean for a spin on a sunny afternoon, this weekend going on a mountain bike ride in the beautiful San Gabriel Mountains, following weekend possibly heading to Big Bear. Going to the Kern in a few months for some awesome river rafting. Heading to Yosemite in July. Cal has so much to offer in entertainment, fresh food, different top notch cuisines, ocean, mountains, weather, hot women from all parts of the world, money making opportunities, it's endless. No other state compares and that's where the natural jealousy comes to play. So as you all express your hatred for California just remember one thing, while you guys are waiting for warmer weather to get out of the house, I've been outside the entire time living life. Sadly the lefties are winning but I'm not giving up my prime real estate to any delusional wokesters ever.
@@yomoma6141
Who said I was a left wing?
I’m 26 and lived in San Diego my whole life. Wouldn’t want to leave until it gets to the point I can’t afford to live here anymore. I’ve lived in a 2 bedroom apt with my parents and sister all my life. I can’t afford to have my own place and all the people my age are in the same boat. They all live with their parents still. My parents and I split the cost of rent, groceries, utilities etc. and are able to get by fine. I manage to still be able to enjoy and afford living here but that’s just because I have my parents helping me out. We have a house in Tijuana we can move to but we’d rather live in a tiny apt here. You practically need to have a high income or have lots of help in order to live here.
So as a 26 year old man you would prefer to live with your parents, in a tiny apartment? I’m sure you get allllll the ladies. Sounds like you need to grow up.
Get a better job. Or leave Cali and stop voting blue.

Crime and taxes in LA are out of control
Ton of crimes not being reported especially when it not worth over $5000 in lost.
That is when you protest your politicians, but first, you have to overcome your prideful ego.
That's socialism
It’s part of the LOS ANGELES experience, like getting mugged by a homeless person while walking in the middle of downtown LA
Anywhere you have large masses of black and brown skins your gonna get this... Facts are facts

You got to enjoy so much of what the state does or did offer. You experienced it. I think it's a shame that people that are young now and want to experience what its like to live in California or New York may not get to. The older crowd certainly did.
Los Angeles is known for being expensive
They failed to mention how people are fed up with the decriminalization of violent crime.

You simply can't conceive the traffic in LA unless you go drive in it a few days. I've been there a couple of times and that shit is just ridiculous. Spending several hours of your day in stop and go traffic is excruciating.
Was there in 2016 for vacation, wanted to see the Hollywood sign. Big mistake. I came down from the costal highway and there was a line of cars that seemed like it stretched on into downtown starting from the beach….after half an hour of not moving I said fuck this and went to LAX to gtfo and go back home.
We went out a number of years ago to visit my wife's friend. They lived in Sherman Oaks. She told us she had seen the 405 backed up at 3:00 and 4:00 AM. Not due to construction or accidents, just volume. Absolutely insane.
@@ViPER5RT10 The fact people willingly live there boggles my mind but as long as it keeps them out of everywhere else it works for me. Don't know why anyone would subject themselves to it.
I grew up in L.A. city and I moved out when I tuned 18. Haven’t looked back. It’s turned nasty with the homelessness and soft on crime policies
@@ViPER5RT10 jeez
The population drop is mainly from people who are hard working fed up with crime and homeless. But the population has increased with many new out of state homeless coming to the city.
And don’t forget the biggest most important productive group especially with procreating….”THE ILLEGALS”. More more more oh lovely Cali with their angelic politicians they only care about the people. What a haven for hope
Yea show some stats on that.
@@xmateinc Five decades of living in the Bay Area is my stats on that buddy. Front seat to the show lived it. Sorry bout that!!!
@@felixw9671 oh so anecdotal evidence.
&more illegals! Also in TX..
I live here. People are still clueless calling for rent control, still wanting to be soft on crime not realizing they’re the problem.
A liberal left nightmare….
Why is rent control a problem ?
@@branbeelotus well it’s part of the problem that causes people/ companies not to invest in areas where there is rent control because the return isn’t worth it in a rent controlled area.
The other issue is, California has a lot of environmental regulations making it a total pain in the ass or impossible to develop certain areas with housing.
There’s more causes but just these two things are a direct cause of the huge shortage of housing we now have. So what happens when you have high demand and low supply? You get high ass prices. Which is why housing affordability is so expensive in California.
I live in South Carolina and there are three families that moved from L.A. to my neighborhood because of homelessness and crime. This lady has no idea why people are leaving
I’ve been wanting to move there for a while now. NY is getting to be too much, but luckily I’m upstate and away from NYC. How expensive are the coastal areas for a 1 bed or studio? And is it relatively safe?
@@julianperry4242 I’m not sure about the coast because I live inland. You definitely should check it out.
@@rw4022 what does it cost inland?

@@thechef408 No, the housing crisis is a large part, but I have often gone to downtown LA for shows, conventions and just to spend weekends there and the homeless camps are still there, still in the same areas and growing. Drive into the city from the freeway and there's still trash everywhere, dotted with homeless encampents.
I sold my home in LA and moved to Las Vegas last year. I'm not going to slam LA or its people but I have to say, I live a lot better now after the move. No regrets. No regrets at all. Less traffic, less hassle, lower cost of living (houses 1/2 the price and more modern/ nicer), more things to do. And a nice tax break.
Nice taxes until you vote for more taxes.
And more traffic and higher cost of living for us who were already here...
My only fear is those hot days, which are a lot. Even the nights are 100 degrees.
@@db-rc5fr that's the most insane part for me.... people fleeing LA, Chiraq, NYC, Portland, Seattle.....they move out here to a red mountain state, call us backwards and vote for the same authoritarian leftist shit that they just ran from.
You and hundreds of thousands of others. Leave your lifestyle in Cali. Don’t California our Las Vegas and you will be welcome. Bring that bullshit here and you will feel it.
It's not housing and costs. I would pay big money for a nice neighborhood, nice house, nice car, etc. It is what is not being delivered even after paying the high costs that is driving people away. Pay those money just to get robbed in your neighborhood? or to get homeless people shitting on your doorstep? HELL NO
Preach it my friend! 🙌
Damn right! I moved out of LA 2 years ago. I have a beautiful house safe neighborhood. No desire to be back in LA
Housing and costs are part of it. People making $70k/year are living paycheck to paycheck. That's unacceptable. Not everyone can be a $10k/day CEO. If I didn't inherit my home, I'd have left long ago.
you got slumlords and coporate banks gobbling up houses to inflate the home values and techies pricing locals out of homes families have owned since the depression. its a top down problem.
Make sure to also vote like a standard Tennessee resident if you'd like to keep it like it is.
My wife and I moved out of Glendora in 1999. Moved to Vegas and couldn't be happier. We bought our first home when we were only 22 years old.
Just because the exodus is slower than before doesn’t mean that it hasn’t stopped and I can guarantee with Karen Bass wanting to put $1.2 billion of taxpayer money towards the homeless drug addicts more people are leaving Los Angeles
homeless drug attics all of them lmao I'm surprised you know so many homeless people i guess if it it ever happens to you you will be among your own list its not hard to become homeless

They're using community harassment or gangstalking techniques to get rid of homeless and drug users in LA.
Must be pretty bad if people are fleeing palm trees and beaches! Great work Gavin you must be so proud!
Cheaper prices for the new Californians moving in.
They love ruining the lives of hard-working Americans, forcing the closure of millions of small, medium-sized businesses, putting people out of work, importing everything from overseas --- nothing is being made/manufactured in America.. Shortages of water, gas, power, supplies, food, cancer drugs, products needed to complete new housing, vehicles costing 2 to 3 times more than a couple of years ago - and the outrageous prices for gas. Gavin is being taught how to destroy us.
it's almost skillful to fuck up what California had going for it decades ago. not to mention the amount of large businesses. their politicians are impressively incompetent.
Its all the foreigners buying all the apartments and raising the rents
A lot of it has to do with Is the homeless flocking to california from other states. Maybe they should just start sending them back
Not just Los Angeles County people are leaving out of the entire damn state
Don't bring that liberal hippie bullshit over to Red States
Unfortunately for the rest of us.
Please stay you are ruining USA where you move to
Yet, the population continues to grow in spite of the “exodus.”

Went to visit my buddy who rented a short term rental for one month . (5500 rental) We tried to find places to eat and walk to on yelp but everything is shut down and vacant. It looks post apocalyptic. I am from San diego and thought it had issues . . . Not nearly as bad as LA.
Love her conclusion on how to put a spin on bad news. The exodus is down 70% translates to those with money are leaving and people are still leaving, only not as fast.
I expect retailers like WalMart to leave as well...
It's hilarious to see everyone pleading Californians not to relocate to their home states. I'm in agreement however, here in Tennessee our housing market was fine until it begin taking in waves of people from Northern states or California during the last decade and half. Now such folks sell their properties at an exorbitant cost only affordable to residents from high-cost states. Serious regulations need to be set in place for people leaving their extravagant states in interest of purchasing property in others which are much cheaper.
@@oogway73 Agree, and to add many such as a neighbor across the street from us want to change our City and State to be more like some of the elements Kalifornia has.

I just met a guy last night at the American legion who was a police officer in LA, quit, and moved his family here to Wyoming. Unfortunately these moves have driven our property taxes through the roof and retired elderly home owners are suffering. My 80 year old father is on fixed income and his taxes jumped 35% last year. Property prices have become grossly inflated since 2020 or so.
Florida is seeing people in droves, and the prices for once affordable homes on some land are now astronomical.
Same here in Texas, housing is insane right now
Same going on in the country in new York !!! People fleeing these democrap cities in droves !!! They just doubled our assessments in the country .
Literally those taxes have nothing to do with people moving? The taxes were already going up before these migrations occurred, as was the housing crisis already an issue. It’s the other way around.
They are leaving _because_ of the outrageous taxes and housing prices, not directly causing it.
That is just despicable and it is why the pos need to be voted out. But people keep voting them in thinking they will eventually do the right thing. It reminds me of Stockholm Syndrome.
Don't forget to add homelessness, crime, drug zombies everywhere, taxes on top of taxes, highest gas tax in the nation, teachers grooming children, parents rights legislated away, and more....

LA doesn't have too many people - the density is much lower than that of NYC Chicago and San Francisco - bear in mind, it's the second largest city in the country.

You voted for it. Decimate the area and move onto a new area to infect. You made that bed, you should lay in it.
You know its bad when even the rich are pulling out of LA and even the state. They say to live comfortably in LA, you'd have to make $75k a year (without kids). More like $75k a year without kids, without debt, and good to great credit. Majority of everyone here don't have that luxury. Almost everyone that I know that are around my age of 30 to 60 years old and are back to living with their parents because they cant afford to get a place of their own. A studio apartment/1 bed 1bath apartment is between $2800-$5000 without utilities. Gas is $4.50 to $6.00 a gallon. Groceries are getting more expensive and being sold in less quantities. The list goes on and on and there is absolutely no way one person can make it out there alone unless they got a 6-7 digit paying job. Absolutely bonkers

Most I talk to say it's not what they expected because they didn't really understand the humidity, the bugs/lizards everywhere (yes, you will find them in the house constantly) and that we have the same problems/and most of the legal restrictions as anywhere else. Meanwhile, our housing costs have gone from expensive to ridiculous, which is a problem when much of your economy is tourism based and relies on low wage service jobs. Between rising housing, insurance and other costs the tax incentives disappear in a hurry these days. There's lots of development going on with no though to density impacts (traffic has doubled many places, school overcrowding). Now they can't get enough construction workers and with current legislation regarding migrants that's just going to get worse. And water will be an increasing issue with the strain on the aquifer. Lot's of lakes and waterways run much lower than they did when I was younger (and less healthy).
I got a job offer in Orange County, with the substantial pay increase I took it and I lasted 8 months there. My kids hated it, and all I did was work and drive. The traffic is no joke at any time of the day or night, and the cost of things is incredibly inflated. Restaurant servers expect 25 and 30% gratuity, its all so annoying the way money just goes when I lived there. Yes, there are the people that can enjoy the lifestyle, and can afford all the whatevers, that was not me, and I thought I was doing pretty good for myself at the time.
Very true. I live in OC. I’m waiting to move to Miami. Where did you move to?
Orange County is even worse than la when it comes to traffic far worse
@@mariesoto569 We actually wound up in Rosarito MX for a few years, but currently in East SF area. So its just as bad...
You're being a bit of a Karen my friend. Waiters do not expect 25 to 30% and have ya ever done traffic in Houston, Dallas, or Denver? Honestly, no better then LA.
@@DHPMeditations nobody asked a Karen with 2 first names like Dan Paul.
After 20 years, I got out of that hellhole in Feb of 2023 and haven’t looked back. I hope it gets better but it will get worse before it does.
Yup, until the voters finally open their eyes it’s only going to get worse
Wow you lived there for 20 years? I bet you contributed absolutely nothing to actually changing anything and are going to siphon what good is left in wherever you went too, before parasitically moving somewhere else again.
I bet you miss it😂
@@MissMichSan of course I do but I don’t miss the homelessness, the crime, the drug addicts, high rent, high cost of living, low opportunities, heavy traffic, air pollution, lines around the block to literally everywhere, overcrowding, people who think they’re cool, wanna be actors, wannabe producers, wannabe rappers, wannabes in general, gender confusion, idiocracy, car chases, road rage, reverse racism, and pretty much everything else that’s not the beaches, beautiful weather, hills, and nature.

The same thing happened with Illinois roughly a decade ago. Illinois used to be the 5th most populous state in the country, but now Pennsylvania has surpassed Illinois in population, making Pennsylvania the 5th, and Illinois currently the 6th.

As a So Cal alum, who moved to Nor Cal 20 plus years ago, I feel sorry for the states that these people are moving to, as their poor driving, arrogance and voting habits will move with them.

I'm from Ca, way of Palm Springs, Diego, LA. What i will say is how can folks move to other places but yet try to live the California life. Or every time you look around, they are coming back here to visit. Here is the thing, once you move, stay where you are at. Do not move to AZ, FL, TX or wherever and try to make it CA.
Most CA expats don't even tell their new state neighbors where they came from. You will be marked as a left leaning liberal with plans to ruin their state immediately even if not true.
You can't tell people not to visit, many people still have family and friends in California. I surely do and I will visit them anytime I damn well please to do so.
your opinion is UnAmerican
But there's no data on how many are coming in to Los Angeles County. The US Census Bureau only provides a snapshot from when they survey the area's population. The good news is that 90K did not decrease Federal funding to LA County THANKS TO THE DEMOCRATIC WHITE HOUSE and DEMOCRATIC SENATE. And like the news in this segment said, the pandemic caused most of the change. Let's see after a year or two on what will happen. Significant change won't happen until after 5 to 10 years. So, all in all, VOTING MATTERS. VOTE BLUE. LIKE SERIOUSLY, VOTE BLUE. DEMOCRATS ALL THE WAY. UNLESS IT'S A MODERATE TO LEFT LEANING REPUBLICAN like a Gerald Ford or Teddy Roosevelt.
90k LA Born Natives? 90k transplants? 90k transplants that stayed for 1 year? 90k what range of demographics? Need more data on this weak research!
That’s the one real question. Most of these people who left the state were never from California to begin with. They came here for work for a few years, and now they’re leaving.
@@kyshac81- Bingo. They came to California to “find themselves” and left. They took their cash and ran.
The reporter is from LA, what do you expect?
The Census is done every 10 years. They're using Census data, as stated in the report. People for one year would only represent a small portion of Census data.

Couldn’t leave California but I left LA(38 years there)to live in NorCal. Never moving back. I love how green it is in NorCal. A little less plastic people up here, more family oriented and lots of outings in nature. LA was a rotting apple, always has been.
What part?
Facts I used to live in Fremont til 1982 when I moved to la
I moved up north too from LA in 2017. Best decision ever. I have more in common with people up here than the shithole down there.
I agree norcal is green, but there is places that can be very dangerous. Norcal isn't what use to be either its getting very expensive to live here the freeways are very congested compared to what they use to be. Also there is houses popping up everywhere, but hardly any places for entertainment.
@@lglgcool8537more expensive versus LA as someone from NorCal
Why is it considered "Good news" to have MORE people moving into places like Riverside County? More people means more traffic, longer lines at the store, and higher rent, etc. As a California native, I say we have WAY too many people here as it is.
Imagine moving from California and still trying to vote the same , this is why other states ask us to stay out

@Tyde California has the highest homeless rate in the country. California leads the state in residents on assistance....paid for by the Republicans in the state.
@@personnesenki4521 he is not news he is Newsom cousin. Or “special friend”.
Many of those who leave California are conservatives.

Plus, high cost of living, high homelessness rate, high taxes, high crimes, strict covid restrictions, etc.
Free health care and sanctuary from deportation 😭😭😭
I was born and raised in LA and left when I was about 20 to the east coast. I thought I made a mistake but after 20 years of living out of Cali, I’m so glad I left. LA has become a dump, it’s not what it was back in the 90s or early 2000s. I visit almost every other year but I almost can’t wait to leave when I’m out there. I tried to convince some family to move to better themselves but they choose to live in that dump.
I have my own small business, own a nice house, pay less in property tax and the house is way bigger and cheaper that what you could get in Cali. Life is good.😎
CA property tax is 0.76%. NY is 1.72%. NJ is 2.49%. MA is 1.23%. CT is 2.14%. RI is 1.63%. ME is 1.36%. Where on the "east coast" has lower property tax than CA, other than DE?
I’m sure you’re enjoying the snow too .
@@horichuy6254 we don’t get much snow. It usually a dusting, the most we get is about 1-2 inches if that. We do however get icing but everyone drives a truck out here so everyone has 4 wheel drive.
@@itsascaryworld9788 Did you actually move to the Deep South? Based on your comments on trucks, light snow and lower property tax, it sounds like you live in NC.
@@jeffparkhurst8607 that’s what I said North Cacalaca it’s a slang term for North Carolina And it’s not the Deep South, it is south but still on the east coast. The Deep South is Georgia, Florida, Mississippi, Alabama, Arkansas, Louisiana. NC is growing with many people coming from all over the US especially north east coast and west coast.
I moved to LA from Chicago..but made big mistake of life... Lived there for a year and then moved back to Chicago...very difficult to survive in LA or California
Heard CA tax you now, for 1? year, after you move out. Is that true?
It's terrible here in Georgia, especially Atlanta. Housing costs have skyrocketed, traffic now mimics y'all in LA and especially galling is the west coast attitudes that are brought here.
Atlanta is the melting pot of the south. It’s not just Cali folks ruining the market.
Atlanta is conforming to the renting agenda that’s why you see new townhomes and condos being built everywhere
Yeah, it has me depressed as someone who can't afford a house now.

@@BrooklynBaby100
You do realize that more conservative states without a bunch of regulations are getting hit the hardest by the exodus. Florida doesn't have a law prohibiting how much landlords can increase a person's rent, so people are seeing 50%-100+% increases in their rents because owners want to make more money. Now your low/middle income class people are being pushed out of their homes, so you're basically becoming LA. Can't wait to see how conservatives handle people living in RVs on the side of the road.
We talk about moving a lot more than we used to. If the state can't get things back on track soon, there's little point in staying.
If the state.. if ?! Lmao what a pipe dream my god
stay where you are, I can promise you we don't want you!
There’s already little to name in terms of good things about the state as a whole
Sorry guys we moved to Orlando, FL. If you want a similar well kept safe suburban life at a fraction of the cost with all of not more amenities, I suggest Winter Garden or Ocoee, FL. That’s where we moved to 🏡💕
And left ANY blue voting tendencies in commiefornia, correct ?
@Anthony Mercado I agree, all states will get like this. They already are so it’s not hard to see the writing on the wall.
its Los Angeles, ca
People will say, it’s happening in every big city but Miami is expensive and it’s growing.
That just let’s you know LA is just turning into shit
My cousin’s wife in LA told me things are awful there now. My dad lived in San Bernardino, and left years ago. LA is only working out for the very wealthy.
San Bernardino has a reputation as being full of meth-head rednecks.
Left Los Angeles in January of this year & never looked backed.
Where are you now?
@@DialloMoore503 bet he went to San Bernardino 😂
Yup I was one of the 90K to leave and went Atlanta but I miss LA. However, costs aren’t realistic. Maybe one day I’ll be back
Im surprised its not more people. CA has the worst policies.🧂🧂
It is many more people. They just don’t report the actual numbers.
Who wouldn't move out of LA? I visited and as a foreigner from a developing country and I couldn't believe how many crazies, homeless and drug addicts there were in that city. I also visited San Francisco and it was beautiful but it seemed like it was taken out of some film noir story, including crazy people shouting, gun shots and sirens at 5am. And poop, there were a lot of human feces in the street.
Same here, Eastern Europe with the current situation still feels safer and classier than in California,I couldn't believe I was scammed $20 by an official airport shuttle driver 40 minutes after I landed in LA. He brought me to a wrong location, grabbed a $20 bill /tip out of my hands, told me "just get a taxi" and left. That is an official shuttle working for the LA airport
San Francisco and Los Angeles go figure you're going to the two crummy cities I believe if you really want to see a better version of California overall it would be San Diego and San Jose
Yeah SF and LA are fascinating examples of how bad it can get when money is valued more than kindness
I lived in a my hometown of Upland in the Inland Empire in San Bernardino County till 4 years ago (I'm 41 now), and had to move to Highland in a pretty bad city, cause Upland went from an average of 1500 a month for 2 bedroom apartment all the up to 2200 a month in the worst apartment in Upland, almost 3000 for the nicer ones! 24000 to 36000 a year just on rent, nothing else added in yet. We're drowning out here

It wasn't the pandemic that made people move out of Los Angeles County. It was the pandemic POLICIES. Big difference there.
Cost of living keeps going up & wages are not keeping up with it. It is ridiculous how much of a gap there is. I moved my family out of LA County during the pandemic to a much cheaper county, where I could afford living on a single income.
The more people, the higher the cost of living. It's simple economics. People act like 90K is a mass exodus when LA alone has 4+ million people, so 90K ain't shit.

Its not been too different for generations, however nowadays they really reached almost unlivable levels.
Met a couple from LA 2 days ago, they told me they left because they finally realized that they have NO freedom after visiting Idaho and decided to leave within weeks of returning. Once you turn your citizens into serfs, they start to wake up.
Not fast enough, unfortunately. It's still a minority who see what is going on. The rest are the proverbial frogs in a boiling pot of water.
Maybe because Idaho enforces it's laws?

So they are saying people are moving out of LA county but people are actually moving out of California. I live in Kern County (one of the most affordable areas in CA) and there have been a half a dozen people in my own neighborhood who moved out of state. They are all retired folks with retirement income and they mainly moved to Idaho and Utah. I’m thinking about retiring out of California myself simply because of the high taxes. Just like any business, it’s a business decision.
And decisions based on a desire for peace and quiet, low population, cheaper living, and law and order.
all of those people are depressing us

Unfortunately as we move into a time of aggressive inflation, the crime will begin to rise no matter where you move.
The Atlanta area has a metro population of 6.1 million. Of course it seems crowded.
