Must be other things behind their decision to move to another state.

'Cause I have been told that people from CA was fleeing due to the immigrations problem and that the state was run by a Dem.

Like any oversimplification Markus it will not explain the breath of reasons people fleeing California, but they mostly have to do with the policies that the ruling party has instituted rather than who is occupying the governors seat.

From what I read the major reasons that people are leaving California are the increasingly high costs of living, housing, and transportation coupled with an increase in crime, pollution, and congestion. Illegal immigration would be connected to some of that but is not the only cause.

Businesses are also fleeing the state as well, citing things like crime, high rents, high taxes, high costs of living for employees, and increasingly onerous business regulations and red tape.

Thank you Dave.

Well I hope it is better in the states they have moved to.

"Tempered" I like that. Apparently it ain't "tempered" enough to keep people from leaving though. It also doesn't "temper" the high crime rates or increasingly oppressive government regulations that are endemic to Democrat run states either.

States ranked by reliance on Federal aid. CA ranks 42nd.

I guess it really has to do with who you ask and what they count as aid and reliance and when. Also too what a state receives is usually dependent on how much they contribute to the pot too.

California ranks the highest at $43.61 billion, Texas second at $26.90 billion, and Florida third $23.77 billion.

Which states received the most money from the federal government?

Federal funding comes through several overlapping programs targeting state and local governments. The proportion of state revenues attributable to federal aid is determined by combining the funding received by both state and local institutions.

The five states that received the most federal aid were:

California ($162.9 billion)
New York ($110.2 billion)
Texas ($105.8 billion)
Florida ($58.8 billion)
Pennsylvania ($57.1 billion)

In light of what happened January 6, 2021 I believe it not beyond the realms of possibility.

Sorry August, they are not fleeing they are spreading.Does a weed in your yard flee.No it spreads.It will spread from your yard to your neighbor's yard until the whole neighborhood is infected.And if acceptance of the weed becomes a natural then we have, Acceptance and now they are here and the roots grow. If they are powerful there will be no flowers only weeds.

American citizens are not weeds Gorpet, and I know people who came from California that are so conservative they'd make you look like a commie pinko by comparison.
