Damn near everybody who thought about the way things were going foretold this kind of thing.
First the California (or NYC, or DC, or Boston) money shows up kicking out most of the people who aren't at least a white collar level of moneyed.
Then with nobody to stand in their way they Karens and Kevins (not necessarily from CA, just rich enough to still stick around after the CA money jacks everything up) swing their political weight around doing their best to turn the place into a sterile and conformist hellscape.
We've seen this pattern in cities and suburbs across the county.
