People are LEAVING CALIFORNIA at an ALARMING RATE

California, the land of promise, dreams, and abundant opportunities, seems to be undergoing an unusual shift. Over recent years, California has experienced a remarkable outflow of its residents and businesses, a trend popularly known as the California Exodus. The term 'California Exodus' was first used around 2016 and became more prevalent during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Historically, California has witnessed various periods of population boom, for instance, after the California Gold Rush, the World War II era, and the Silicon Valley tech industry's rise. However, the state is now experiencing its first outright negative population growth in over a century. This exodus poses significant implications for California’s future, and it is vital to understand its causes, impacts, and potential solutions.
