Note that this is a pretty useless visualization. The dots are just shown traveling at a constant speed with a little randomization (note how it takes until halfway through the video for dots to start showing up in the Northeast -- the travel difference of CA->NY vs CA->TX is not measured in years unless these folks are walking).

In addition, the visualization makes it look like some mass exodus, but for the time frame covered, California grew in population (until 2021, where there was a whopping... .46% population loss -- the decimal place is not an error, it is less than 1%).

I feel like we both know they'll just blame something else and move on to ruin another location.


Haven't locals been trying to drive off the tech crowd for a few decades now?
