As mentioned it usually has to do with the economics such as employment or inability to live within the cost of living, and not overall quality of life factors.

I voted yes but it depends on why the area is losing population. If it is a small town or city that is rural with few job prospects or in a cold climate, then I am there. If there is high crime or a large immigrant population, then I am not interested.

There are honestly some cities that would kind of become more tolerable if they lost population.

Los Angeles, I'm looking at you

Other than that, if I like it, I will ofc have no problem moving there. No city is ideal, they will all have flaws.
