#3 Left CA in 2019 and the financial and cultural improvement was immediate. The most ompactful thing about the exodus numbers is that the departures are from the TAX PAYING element of society. The replacement numbers often cited by the professional prevaricators in Sacramento never mention the net fiscal impact of this. Tragic to see the demise of what was once the genuine Golden State I discovered in 1969!

#6 What has left Blue cities, for the most part, is jobs. Youngstown, OH, for example, has lost 60% of its population due to the steel industry cratering. The biggest demising employer, GMS Lordstown Plant, is now dead. That kills all the suppliers and distribution centers in the area. Jobs have left but crime and poverty have not. What is left is a welfare funded vote center for politicians like Tim Ryan. The blue collar folks are still in Ohio or across the Pennsylvania border. Rich liberals live in by Columbus or in smaller enclaves like Khe Sahn throughout the state. It is an interesting dynamic because during their BLM fueled Tet Offensive they attacked their own strongholds.
