When your state is massively overpopulated, population loss might not be such a bad thing.
Wut?
As far as the Dems looking for positive messaging on Newsome (in case the big guy wanders off) they kinda like (or at least say they do) his gestures on global warming.
The "DeSantis is a racist" remains my favorite (albeit thoroughly faux) Democrat talking point on DeSantis.

It's not a good thing, when your state pushes the middle class out, then it has a $32 billion budget deficit, along with an exploding homeless problem, ruining cities like SF, Sac, DTLA.
CA has 40 million people, but CA is YUGE.
The fastest growing parts of CA are the ex-urban fringes like Riverside County. People are fleeing LA for the deep suburbs.

Technically, DeSantis is a Latino of Italian origin. Has a Latin based surname. Ditto for Rubio, and Cruz, two of the top Republican Party leaders.
Makes it tough for the Libs to paint him/them as racists, using their own logic, LOL!
I can see you probably haven't spent much time on the 405, 91, 10, or the 5 freeways. You can stand in the front of the Santa Monica pier and drive about 90 miles east and still be be surrounded by urban development.
Ain't buying the Florida is denser in population than CA without some proof.
It's funny you say that as I was born, raised, and lived a large part of my life in LA/SoCal. I know California well enough to know that LA metro =/= California.
Now, Hawk gave you the values but they're actually outdated. Based on 2020 figures:
Florida has a pp/mi^2 = 402, compared to California which has 254.
This makes Florida almost twice as dense as California.
If you leave the LA bubble, you will realize that much of California is national parks, or agricultural areas whereas Florida has been urbanized up and down, with only some small parks and small agricultural areas breaking up the development.
I much prefer lower dense areas to higher ones, so for me this is not a positive or something to compete with Florida over.
Per the Wall Street Journal you can see the article if subscribe. There’s people leaving Fl. Let time pass and the numbers will show it.
People move around all the time, however, FL has a net population GAIN, while CA has a net population LOSS, for the first time in it's history. The first time ever! Woah!

I figured it was probably how the numbers are tallied. CA has lots and lots of undeveloped land and deserts. I heard the word density and I was like no, so cal metro has like 13 million people just in the 4 or 5 counties here, Fl can't be that crowded.
I got to get the he'll out of this place at some point, way too crowded for me
