Anyone who lived in California a few decades ago recognizes the incredible decline in the overall quality of life in that State. It’s our canary in the mineshaft and it’s keeling over.

decades in California, I can attest that living there now is nowhere near as frightful as you and that article make things out to be. Because of it's prosperity and allure, CA has become very expensive, that's true, and it makes attracting newcomers difficult...in spite of that, the state still holds the nation's most vibrant 'ecosystem' for new business ventures...the most beautiful and hospitable range of living environments, and the most diverse, cooperative population. IMO, CA stacks up much better than places like Texas that in spite of all the energy in the ground there, can't keep it's grid operating in winter...and is not exactly 'comfortable' in the summer...same with Florida, where 500 yr hurricanes are occurring almost every year, plus again, summers that drive residents OUT of the state....as for living further north, I've been there, done that...you get the picture.
Market forces will likely stabilize CA's influx/outflow issue, but it will always be the best choice for living and thriving.

I can link articles about the decay of the Golden State all day. The motherload has run out.

My favorite or 2nd favorite city on the planet.
Lived in Bay area 3 times. Unfortunately I won't be going back.
It's a shot hole. Dems have let a beautiful city just go down the crapper. Nancy and her family, KH, Sacramento all to blame. It really saddens me just how awful this once beautiful place is run by idiots, crime, homeless...take your pick.
And that shithole across the bay is worse.
Non-linear or hysteric. You "guys" have such a flair for the dramatic. California is a waste land.

Some of what they say and stand for is nothing more than a delusion. Newsom thinking he’s going to eliminate gas powered vehicles by 2035…totally delusional. Case in point…Sacramento asked all EV owners not to power their electric vehicles for a period last summer:
After all is said and done, California is truly the land of opportunity. I moved here in ‘90 after being honorably/medically discharged from the Army. I can’t imagine living anywhere else at this point of my life. California has been very good to me:
