The Gavin Newsom Effect: U-Haul Reports Californians Leaving the State in Droves – California Globe

‘Out-migration remains prevalent for a number of markets across the Northeast, Midwest and West Coast — and particularly California’  By Katy Grimes

"U-Haul has a new report out and once again – for the fifth year in a row – the once Golden State finished on top of the U-Haul Growth Index – meaning more Californians rented one-way U-Haul trucks to leave the state in 2024, than residents of any other state.

California ranked last in U-Haul growth.

"We call this “The Gavin Newsom effect.”

. . . And right on time, Gavin Newsom’s faithful backyard yapper Brandon Richards (He/Him) cites Newsom’s accomplishments on X – only these all existed before Gavin became governor, and only because California is such a beautiful state with the best weather in the country:" . . .

Exit Ramp: This State Just Came in Dead Last, Again, on the 'UHaul Index' 

 "California Governor Gavin Newsom seems to spend much of his time gratuitously attacking well-governed, Republican-led states around the country -- doing so in a transparent effort to garner publicity among his party's national base.  His ambition-rooted motivation in this pursuit is not much of a secret, given his obvious presidential aspirations, which are likely to materialize in the 2028 cycle, or possibly even sooner.  We've covered a number of his outbursts, which are often directed at Florida, whose governor confronted Newsom in a nationally-televised debate in November.  Ron DeSantis cleaned Newsom's clock on the merits." 

  "For 7 straight years California Governor Gavin Newsom has won U-Haul’s “Man of the Year” award.  "During his reign, his policies actually caused more people to move out of the state, than the number of people who moved in during the 1849 Gold Rush. FACT CHECKED ✔️ https://t.co/18lZCOHbur" / X"
