Clearly the fact that people are leaving in such large numbers suggests that it isn't serving the current population very well.

India must be the most amazing country on Earth.

People leave India in large numbers also. Population growth due to sex is a different category.

Mostly it's out of control housing prices.

But the trendline outside of CA is even worse lately.

Maybe not. Maybe the leaving side has been what it's always been. Maybe there's no one moving in? And now the net is a loss?

Yes, could be for the same reason. Or it could be just the way things are. Given the USA's population is stagnent, perhaps CA isn't all that unique? Or is also an immigration issue (which "economic growth" is often used as a false proxy for).

Nonetheless, populations do decline. To make it sound like a "failing" - as if it were a business - is where I take issue.
