California exodus

Okay kiddo, so the California Exodus is when a lot of people are leaving California and moving to other states. There could be a lot of reasons for this, like wanting to be closer to family or friends, or wanting to live in a different kind of environment.

One reason that some people might be leaving California is because it's really expensive to live there. That means that things like buying a house or renting an apartment can be really expensive. And when things cost a lot of money, it can be hard for people to save money or have enough money to do fun things like go on vacation or buy lots of toys.

Another reason people might be leaving California is because there are lots of people who live there. That can make it hard to find a job, or to get around easily because there are so many cars on the roads.

But it's important to remember that not everyone is leaving California. There are still lots of people who love living there and are excited to stay. Everyone has their own reasons for why they want to live in a certain place, and that's okay!
