Where do you idiots get this from? California will hit 40 million this year. The population is not declining. In fact it is increasing and the worst of the worst neighborhoods are gentrifying.

Last year, California had 142,932 more residents exit to live in other states than arrive, according to an analysis of a new report from the U.S. Census Bureau, released Wednesday, Nov. 15. This “domestic net outmigration” was the second-largest outflow in the nation behind New York and just ahead of Illinois and New Jersey. And it was up 11 percent (13,699 net departures) vs. 2015.

You aren't adjusting for births. California is growing in population because hispanic women have a lot of kids, starting at age 18. People are not moving here from other states.

last year’s new residents from other states were just 1.33 percent of all Californians — the lowest rate of attraction among all states.
