Potentially no California crew bases

Um, a THIRD of US states lost population in 2021….yawn.
Sorry if the facts don’t help the “people are fleeing CA because of the radical left” narrative … but them’s the facts. The facts also remain that there are still too many damn people on CA roads, not enough housing, and not enough water. So stay away, and if you don’t like it, just leave…

Wow, I’ve got a stalker!! And I thought this was just going to be a normal day…
I’m wrong that CA has not lost more people per capita than every other state? Um, no, unless you can’t do math.
That CA has lost people is not the point I was contradicting—CA has too many people from my point of view and has grown relentlessly for decades. I’m addressing the common theme that CA leads all states in people fleeing because of politics…which is BS, and cargodog’s sources confirm it too.
But thanks for playing, it was cute.

That’s funny and very true. But for folks who don’t need to be in CA every day to work, or can afford second homes, they’ll prob never return.

That's good for california.gov because taxes.
The people leaving are the folks who work for a living, esp middle class including the lower tier of upper middle class (which includes a lot of pilots). There is a slight net population decline over the last 2-3 years.

I live there. There's a net influx of wealthy retirees from snow country and especially high-income people who can now telecommute. That's driving up prices and rents.

First of all, talking about California in generalities is a fools errand. The state is like 5 different distinct states mashed together, geographically, economically, and politically.

A 15.9% increase.
The use of single year estimate data set, 2021, can be fraught with inaccuracies.
From 2010 to 2020 Census, only 3 states lost population. Delaware, Illinois, and South Carolina. That is a far cry from 1/3 in the headline.
Several states did not keep up with the average increases, so lost Congressional seats. That included California.
