- dragonwriter 4y agoThe decrease was in estimated 2021 vs 2020 population, not census 2020 vs 2010.
- LinuxBender 4y agoI can only add my anecdotal observations for whatever that is worth. When I left California in 2021 it was impossible for me to get equipment from U-haul, Penksy and Budget. I eventually gave up and hired a moving company despite having downsized my assets considerably. Even that was a challenge and the coordinators were spread extremely thin. Every company I spoke to said that they've never seen so many people leaving. I don't know what that translates to in real numbers. I also experienced something odd and unexpected. I would call a friend to say I was moving and they said they were too. This happened several times. Of the people in my circle that didn't leave it was either family or work obligations that was keeping them from relocating despite many wanting to.
