Imagine how big of a scandal it would be if a bunch of Democratic state legislators colluded to elect a bunch of GOP representatives. These NIMBY policies have the same effect.
Not all of the gains will go to the GOP, but most of the people moving out of blue states are conservatives, which that makes gerrymandering easier for red states. We have also been losing seats since at least 2010 too.
I'm glad there's some good steps in the right direction (CEQA reform, SB79 etc), but I worry that will be too little too late.

Ah yes, hatred: the most famously productive and liberal virtue
You say this now but when Blue Texas comes, you’ll call them genius!
*Yes I know most of the people moving lean R*
I dotn think its just NIMBYs. We have to start asking why people seem to flee deep blue states en masse towards red ones. And I dont beleive the answer is “he weather” becasue california is the epicenter of this
Can we stop posting Republican Propoganda?
Y’all do realize the American Redistricting Project is actually just a fully funded and official arm of the Republican Party right?
Like this isn’t a joke, this isn’t hyperbole, this isn’t an exaggeration.
This is a map paid for and assembled by the Republican Party.
Do better
Our favorite YIMBY will save us, we just have to believe in the vision
