More Californians leaving for other states
Genaro C. Armas, Associated Press August 6, 2003
WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Although immigrants kept California's population rising, more people left the state during the latter half of the 1990s than moved in from other states, the Census Bureau says.
It was the first time that's ever happened.
Four reports being released today offered the most comprehensive look so far at U.S migration in 2000.
Only New York, which lost 874,000 more residents to other states than it took in, had a bigger net decline than California, which lost 755,000. Illinois, New Jersey and Pennsylvania also lost more than they gained.
The figures count only gains and losses between states. California had a big gain when foreign immigrants were counted.
The longtime retirement destination of Florida had the biggest net increase of movers, with 607,000 more people coming in than leaving. Warm-weather states with fast-growing economies in the late 1990s rounded out the top five: Georgia, North Carolina, Arizona and Nevada.
William Frey, a demographer with the Brookings Institution in Washington, said the California exodus could be a sign that residents were fed up with high housing prices and sprawl.
Analysts also noted that although the San Francisco Bay Area's economy boomed during the late 1990s, Southern California's economy slumped.
Next-door Nevada was the place of choice for the largest number of exiting Californians: 199,000 settled there.
Overall, California drew about 1.4 million residents from other states between 1995 and 2000 but lost 2.2 million of its residents.
Spurred by immigration, however, California's population still rose 14 percent, or 4.1 million people, between 1990 and 2000 to nearly 33.9 million. Its foreign-born population rose by more than one-third to almost 8.9 million.
The report was based on people's responses to the 2000 census long-form question, which asked whether the respondent had lived in the same address five years earlier. Those who responded "no" were then asked to say from where they had moved.
Other highlights:
ââ¬Â¢ Nevada had the highest net rate of people moving in, gaining nearly 152 residents for every 1,000 people in 1995. Hawaii lost 65 residents per 1,000 people in 1995, the highest net rate of people moving out.
ââ¬Â¢ There was a net increase of 510,000 of people moving into nonmetropolitan areas, although much of that increase came in counties near fast-growing metropolitan areas such as Denver and Atlanta. Such areas are losing their rural feel quickly, Schachter said.

I have news for this "demographer", that's not what people are fed up with.
Between middle class neighborhoods being turned into third world barrio's and citizens being forced, to the tune of several thousand dollars per person, to fund services for illegal aliens, the Ruling Elite of California is rapidly turning the state into a socialists dream of "paradise in Gomorrah".
Not only has Davis said he will sign AB 60 which gives drivers licenses to illegals, but also signed AB25 which provides marrage rights to partnerships between homosexuals, lesbians, and transgenders.
Now the clown prince of recall-avoidance has signed a new bill, [url=http://www.oaklandtribune.com/Stories/0,1413,82~1865~1532642,00.html]See The Article Here[/url], which makes it illegal for CA employers to discriminate against homo's, lesbo's, or Transgenders. So if Bob on day walks into work dressed as Betty tough luck for Mr. Employer. No recourse.
This latest travesty against common sense and decency ought to be good for driving what is left of businesses out of the Golden State.
And as goes California......

** San Francisco Chronicle [Poll On Page] California: Exodus to other states tops new arrivals Driven by the high cost of housing and the aggravation of traffic jams, Californians fled the Golden State for places like Nevada and Arizona in the late 1990s, according to a report released today by the U.S. Census Bureau. -- It was the first time more people left for other states than moved to California from other states, and the trend is continuing, experts say.

You forgot to mention that workman's comp. rates went up 50% as well. The commie crud in the Calif. State legislature have no idea what makes an economy so of course they keep plundering it. And the media say nothing, as usual.
Then we have stupid laws like you mentioned. The dykes in the legislature have passed laws homosexualizing the schools. Got to get them young, you know. The indoctrination starts in grade school. And recently the Jewish commie dyke Goldberg sponsored a law in which a statue of the Mexican god Quetzacoatl is to be erected in "honor" of AIDS "victims" at a cost of $400,000. What I want to know is why is the state erecting statues of pagan gods when it's $30 billion in the hole and why is the public forced to pay for the treatment of AIDS anyway? Smokers pay for their own treatment with the taxes they pay on cigarettes. Why should the rest of us pay so that the queers can continue infecting each other? More and more United Ways are pulling their funding from Boy Scouts because they won't allow gay leaders. And in the case of my local United Way, the money they would normally give to the Boy Scouts went to queer organizations. It's disgusting.
