Sure the only way out is to encourage locations in areas which are seeing falling populations, or have space. You can buy a nice family house in the mid West or the South for a tenth of the price of SV. We shouldn't be doing anything to allow more people in California with climate change reducing the water supply even more.

Perhaps if the midwest or South were more tolerant of colored folks, you'd get more people venturing out there.

Until then, i'll stay on the coasts, thank you. And you dont get to decided if I should or shouldn't live somewhere.

"[Black] College graduates and middle-class migrants make up a major portion of the new migration. For instance, from 1965–2000, the states of Florida, Georgia, and Texas attracted the most black college graduates. The only state outside the former Confederacy that attracted a sizeable migration of black college graduates was Maryland, most of the population growth being in the counties surrounding Washington, D.C. In that same period, California was a net loser of black migration for the first time in three decades."[0] [0] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Great_Migration https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Great_Migration

i think you've got the right basic idea but people may be down voting you because telling everyone they can't move to CA seems a bit too strict. Instead, perhaps, discourage people from moving to dense areas that can't or don't want to grow. There's a lot of disagreement in CA about whether or not it should be growing. On the one hand, voters have made it abundantly clear they don't want any more growth of any kind. so what you're saying makes sense. On the other hand, there's still a ton of people that want to come here and work for the tech industry. I say, let the areas that want to grow, grow. Give them some help in the beginning to get the ball rolling.
