More fake news.
Per article:
2.5 million poor moved out
1.7 million poor moved it
20,000 middle class moved in
Guess what the article has left out completely? How many middle class have moved out.
This article is a brilliant example of fake news by omission. The BEE article below said roughly 5 million Californians left the state from 2004 to 2013.
OK, the article accounts for 2,520,000 of those 5 million. What of the rest? What of the other 2,480,000 middle clase and upper middle class and rich leaving.
Crickets.
Nothing but fake news anymore.
Sorry, forgot to include the BEE link from before
Here it is

And the supposed rich people aren’t rich anymore because they are paying a 6500 a month mortgage that the poor didn’t have to pay for.
They are exporting people who have pride and a work ethic while keeping all the leeches, moochers and parasites. What could go wrong?
Wealthier people move in but keep their money in tax free states them move back out after they find out bad the state stinks.
People who have owned their homes for years should be delighted that home prices are rising.

Extend the Mexican border fence from Mexico northward along the California border with Arizona and Nevada to the proposed new state of Jefferson.
Then west along the proposed southern border of Jefferson to the Pacific Ocean.
Got news for you, pal. They didn’t start in California.
Cali didn’t invent liberalism. At one time we were quite
conservative. Remember a guy named Reagan?
When the libs got a toe hold they liberalized the
state welfare system. In response, governors loaded
the buses w/poor folk from many parts of the
country and aimed them westward. Looks like the
buses are turning around.
Delighted to be taxed out of their homes? Not when these are family homes and not investment properties. As I said, people have lived here for generations. Four generations in my house. People here never wanted to leave but they’re having to due to inflated home prices resulting in ridiculous property taxes. My property taxes have gone from what equaled 2 weeks income to 3 1/2 months of income. Texas can raise property taxes 10% each year and it has. Have you had pay raises of 10% each year?
Yep, producing, taxpaying workers of all types, are being driven from California by taxes and regulation.
Illegal immigrants will be deported?
Not if CA Progs can help it, they are non producing tax sucker welfare shills that vote DemoRat.
California will consist almost entirely of rich people with almost no real world skills?
Yep, the Ruling Elite, Oligarch, Crony Capitalist Insiders feeding at the Taxpayer trough, and Government employee non producer jackboots called Public "Servants".
Perhaps higher taxes would help ...
California has a bright future, if you are a Fascist.
I don’t know about this story but I do know leftist cities like Portland will give free bus tickets to the “homeless” to other cities.....as in, GET THE HELL OUT OF OUR PARADISE.
$100k in today’s environment is not rich.
to where the cost of living may be somewhat lower, JMO.
Seems to me there is a terrific possibility that these people, that almost everyone is assuming are liberals or illegals, or both, might very well be Conservative Citizens whose jobs were destroyed by our liberal slime leadership in both the state and federal governments.
So maybe what's really happening is California is exporting to other states its displaced, unemployed Conservatives while the other states are exporting its wealthy liberal trash to California. Perhaps in this instance the other states are the gross polluters.
“People who have owned their homes for years should be delighted that home prices are rising.”
Not unless they plan to sell and move to another area where housing is much lower priced. Otherwise there is no benefit to home owners, only penalties.
That’s why you need to do a proposition 13 type measure. It’s practically the 1 thing in the modern era California ever did right and it drives libtards NUTS. Your property tax here can never go up more than I think it was 1 or 1.5% per year and the basis only changes during a sale. You can revalue if the price drops a lot though.
Every cycle the ‘Rats try to gin up talk or some scheme to dismember it or hamstring it. It’s like a giant money piñata just out of reach of their stick, it’s the greatest legislation ever on the conniptions it puts them in alone.
They didn’t have to load the busses, at one point California gave cash bennies without any major vetting. I chatted with a car dwelling wanderer at the gas station I worked in Virginia who migrated out here in winter to go on the dole and returned in the spring to the east.
If you put feed out for pidgeons, they will come.
“Not unless they plan to sell and move to another area where housing is much lower priced”
Or if they are downsizing,which many are doing these days.
The tax benefit is great.also.

My stepdaughter and son in law just moved here to Bullhead City, AZ down the street from San Diego last week. He is a CPA. Hardly poor and uneducated. He wants his wife to be able to stay at home. Can’t do it in San Diego. He is amazed at difference in the cost of living here than in California. CA will become the land of the very very rich and the very very poor.
