I’m sure they’ve spotted already a few things that need fixing.

Of course, just as anyone anywhere sees things that need fixing. Long term residents become largely blind to issues due to oversaturation.

Guy down the road moved in last year or late 2020 maybe is trying to get trash service and sewer. He’s been told more than once the “we are in county and to **** off” while trying to get people to sign his petitions.
Y’all need to pay him a neighborly visit and tell him the way it works in the country. And if his idiot city ass doesn’t like it to move.

That can certainly be true.

The question for some might be: Just what do these new residents envision? Some version of what they left behind?

I am hoping it's different this time around. I am hoping that a good percentage of them now realize why they fled democratic strongholds....because they suck, and the democratic party and their policies suck.

Portuguese angered at influx of Californians who import their problems with them: report

A story titled "Welcome to Portugal, the new expat haven. Californians, please go home," reports that the number of Americans living in Portugal has risen by 45% in the past year with many of those Americans moving from California in order to escape high housing costs, pandemic lockdowns, and "Trumpian politics" in the United States.

The article explains that "resentment of newcomers is growing" in Portugal as California expats have become the "root of questions over gentrification, income disparities and immigration."

It’s not just the population fleeing blue states, it’s the wealth as well. This would scare me like crazy of I lived in a blue state.

As of right now, California is believed to have a population of about 38.8 million people. That is roughly 9 million more people than Texas. That hardly makes for an abandoned ghost town. The biggest problem facing the Democratic Party is that their base is too condensed. I don't see some population dispursement as a bad thing at all... as long as they keep voting for Democrats.

Also, do you even know what the word "requiem" means, or is it just something you have seen used, and you thought it sounded sophisticated? It is melodramatic to a comical extent in the context that you have applied it.

Only people flocking to $9/gallon gas CA are illegals.

.... and relative to the overall population of 38.8 million, only a small percentage of California residents are leaving. You guys are over-hyping this. If the entire population of Tennessee (7.05 million) moved to Texas (30 million), California would still have a higher population (38.8 million).
