Do you still have that old working class mentality or has the cozy blue life that you and so many others here have become accustomed to living softened (domesticated) you to much?(03-10-2017, 04:39 PM)SomeGuy Wrote: Yup, I am sure all people leaving CA over the past few decades have been "low-status" whites, and everybody moving into CA have been high income people working in the knowledge economy.
No one is saying all.
However, generally speaking, the "professionals" don't flee, especially if they are not "Sons/Daughters of the Golden West" WASPS. Meanwhile it's our "49er" and the more recent Okie/Arkie descendants who tend to. Sure there are some higher status people among them. But generally, high status people at most will "flee" to Placer County or some such. They don't leave the state.
Meanwhile, lots of varied and highly talented people are moving in.
I look at everyone I am aware of in a network of a couple thousand people cutting across wide economic and demographic strata, and what I wrote is largely true. It's a microcosm of the Nation in many ways. The "traditional (WASP) white" middle income demographic are not really winning in the new economy and whatever new phase the US moved into late last century.
