Honestly I hear as many complaints living in Washington of WA natives criticizing people from Texas moving to Washington and how they're going to ruin XYZ. That was a poorly worded sentence but hopefully you get my meaning

  Well that is a pay-walled site, and I refuse to support any "mainstream" media at this point so I will not be buying a subscription to view your link but he headline seem to be talking SanFran, but I can not know for sure However actual statewide data, based on US Census totals, shows that over all CA is one of only a few states that have a net Population LOSS over the last 10 years, so much so they are losing a congressional seat.

    > over all CA is one of only a few states that have a net Population LOSS over the last 10 years This is simply wrong. Your links all clearly indicate CA had a population loss for the first time ever in the year 2020. Not for the entire decade. CA lost a seat because growth slowed, not went negative.
