Kalifornien är drömmarnas stat, och givetvis slår inte drömmarna in för de flesta och det medför de får svårigheter.
De mindre delstaterna avfolkas till ställen som Kalifornien, kanske dom ska ta sitt ansvar från början?
Men nu när de har börjat få bra koll på ekonomin, kanske de kan börja skeppa hem alla till sina egna hemstater.
Så ska vi nog se att Kalifornien ser bättre ut igen, men kanske man ska slita med frirörlighet till Kalifornien om ni ser detta som ett problem med fattigdom i Kalifornien.

Fast det verkar vara så att Kalifornien har haft negative domestic migration under en tid (18 av 20 senaste år enligt http://www.newgeography.com/content/...a-a-world-hurt ).
Det är alltså fler som flyttar från Cali till andra stater än tvärtom.

Figure 1 shows California’s Department of Finance’s (DOF) estimate of domestic migration, migration between California and other states. According to the DOF, California’s domestic migration has been negative in 18 of the past 20 years. This is less dismal than the U.S. Census’ estimate that California’s domestic migration has been negative for 20 consecutive years. This is the longest sustained period of negative domestic migration in California’s history. We've seen this before, in the rust belt. It leads to decay, poverty, increased crime, and unlivable cities.
Domestic migration is important because it should be seen as an early warning signal of eventual decline. Migrants are the proverbial “canaries in the coal mine”. When domestic migration is negative, people are voting with their feet. They are saying that California doesn’t provide enough opportunity to stay, particularly given its high cost of living. Given how comfortable it is to live in California, I think they make that decision reluctantly.
