Cherry-picked data points combined with basically meaningless anecdotes. I'm sure there are some meaningful patterns overall but they're hard to reach conclusions absent a broader picture with percentages as well as absolute numbers over time.

#5California is very expensive for what you get, and grew to become quite unpleasant to live in. High crime rate and a bunch of woke DAs and activists makes family life in the Bay area uncomfortable. And then you're supposed to pay a premium for it all? Expensive daycare, indoctrinating schools, crappy government and private services, high taxes, NIMBYs, and the constant moral judgment of kidless activists who know what's best.
If I were single and in my 20s, SF would be where I go for all the bright minds. But the calculus as a 30s yo with a family is that California overplayed its hand. We left and aren't coming back unless a lot changes.

Youre conflating living in SF with living in every other part of CA. I can assure you that not all of CA is like SF

Fox "news" talking points in article format.

Especially since it has always been this way. A decade ago it was people to Seattle and Portland.
And it also works in reverse, but since every other state is much smaller, no stories are written. Both of my neighbors have recently left Texas to relocate to the Bay Area.

Urban California mostly is as such. Otherwise do tell me where?
Also I'm talking about my perspective living in the Bay in general.
LA is less bad.

A majority of these sort of posts seem to be mainly to generate clicks from people who have an axe to grind about California, they offer no real insights.
