In New York, Gov. Kathy Hochul has resorted to addressing the problem of former residents fleeing the leftist insanity and endless tax increases by basically begging them to come back and contribute to the construction of Mayor Mamdani's socialist utopia.
It might not be very long before L.A. Mayor Karen Bass and Gov. Gavin Newsom are doing something similar.

Hmm, why would this be happening?
Los Angeles County saw the largest decline of any county in the United States in 2025, according to new census data published on March 26.
Nearly 54,000 people moved out of L.A. County between July 1, 2024 and July 1, 2025, U.S. Census data shows. The decline is part of an ongoing trend. In 2020 L.A. County was estimated to have more than 10 million residents. As of 2025, the county was thought to have just under 9.7 million residents.
The reasons are likely many...
Lack of leadership. Actually….horrible leadership and corruption at many levels. https://t.co/tGL7jQTzCt

They're the Abbott and Costello of bad governance.
People don’t run away from the 4th largest economy and beautiful scenic scenery for anything other than horrible governance @GavinNewsom

There are some possible explanations, including this:

There are reasons Democrats "leaders" flip out when ICE is in their communities.
