If it was the state where most people would like to live people would be moving in. They are moving out.
California and NY have been the #1 or #2 economies in the country for over 100 years whether they were red or blue. This is because they are the major ports of entry for the largest economy on the planet not because of the political party of the governor.
In recent years, however, the Democrats have become so extreme they are destroying the state. It is not normal for states to be losing population. In every case the states that are losing population are losing the population because of Democrat policy.
many states lose population. Bear in mind you have also had a republican governor. CA has always set the pace for the rest of the country in most things. Its getting too expensive, thats just capitalism at work. Never once heard a republican with an idea on anything. Just complaining.
Gas and electricity are expensive due to Democrat-imposed regulations. Housing is expensive in part due to regulations. Property crime and terrible schools in some urban areas mean you either have to go private or move to a decreasing number of desirable neighborhoods which push the prices way up. Rampant corruption means you get to pay higher taxes for an even worse government (look up the high speed rail for a good laugh). Government mismanages the forests so you have to put up with wildfires which they'll blame on "climate change." Prop 13 means you get to pay more in property taxes to offset all the boomers who bought homes in the 80s and had their tax rate fixed for life. A $200 speeding ticket can turn into $700 with all the add-on fees to various slush funds. It's expensive due to choices your party has made which is why despite the great weather it still manages to drive millions of people away.

You've never once heard a republican idea because you live in a leftist bubble...
It's hysterical that you remain oblivious to this reality.
And for the record, California is a joke right now; politically, economically, socially, the whole 9. But I surfed before work this morning and am looking out my office window at sunny skies and a beautiful blue Pacific Ocean. I'm gonna take my chances and stay.
Hope you're not murdered for by BLM/Antifa. Democrats always think they're safe from their own party's violence, until the mob shows up in their wealthy neighborhood, and the best case scenario is they manage to defend their persons/property without shooting anyone, only to find they're the ones being prosecuted by the Soros District Attorney for violating the rights of oppressed Democrats to burn, loot, murder.
Did anyone actually look at the linked post? Yeah, this guy pays a lot of taxes because he plays for the 49ers and makes $4 million a year. His situation has nothing to do with what it's like for most people who live in California.
San Diego baybee. Chilling in university heights with my GAP chinos, GAP tee, GAP undies. Banana Republic and j Crew are for suckers.
If you think I'm lying, says more about you.
Average house in San Diego county is $950,000.
Gas is $5.13 a gallon.
Cost of living in San Diego is 44% higher than the national average.
If you actually live in San Diego and have a family and are making less than $150k a year as a household your quality of life can't be very high.
Bro I'm decked out in GAP and you're worried about MY quality of life? Bruh I've got it made in the shade (gotta find good shade bc it's always sunny here).
Maybe if you tried not being so poor you could come join me 💪
