Despite the so-called "Great California Exodus" that has seen residents leave the state in droves, mostly because of the high cost of living, there are plenty of people bucking the trend and making their way to the Bay Area.

    It been fucking hillarious seeing people doubletalk California demographics.

    “Everybody keeps leaving California because the cost of rent and housing keeps going up!” which feels true but like…

    It has big “Nobody goes there anymore, it’s too crowded” energy.

        If the headline was the only thing you read, yes. The article actually says it still has a net loss every year.

        It even says it still has a net 60k/year net loss to Texas alone.

        The article’s missing headline was driven from the single point that of the people moving to Califorinia, the largest percentage was from Texas.

          Which makes sense given the size of Texas. I would think the percentage would reflect the relative proportion of people in the states.
