Well, they got rid of you, so, it's been worth it. However, you're wrong and over exaggerating, umm lying.
According to estimates by the California Department of Finance, California's population grew by 7.3% (or 2.7 million) from 2010 to the end of 2019; this rate is slightly higher than the national rate of 6.3%.
And, in 2003, the state REJECTED the spotted owl as an endangered species.

California’s Outbound Migration Continues, With Some In-State Diversions
The states with no income taxes gained the greatest wealth, while the states with the highest income taxes lost the most

The California Legislative Analyst also
reported that for many years, more Californians have left for other states than move here. According to data from the
American Community Survey, from 2007 to 2016, about
5 million people moved to California from other states, while about 6 million left California. On net, the state lost 1 million residents to domestic migration—about 2.5 percent of its total population.
Now we are starting to see outbound migration from California’s big cities to smaller cities and towns, and to the state’s rural counties – if they even choose to stay in California.
Relocation specialist Joe Vranich, who used to live in
California, for years has documented the outbound migration of businesses. “Business-flight appears to have gotten worse since I issued my recent report,
‘Why Companies Leave California’, which found that at least 13,000 companies moved out of state during the 2008-2016 period (the latest available figures),” Vranich wrote for Fox and Hounds last year. “The cost: $76.7 billion in capital was diverted out of California along with 275,000 Jobs – and companies acquired at least 133 million square feet of space elsewhere. All of those findings are greatly understated because relevant information often went unreported in source materials.”
Vranich knows how and why businesses leave California:
“California’s current crop of politicians point to the occasional economic development ‘win’ with pride while ignoring the overall business migration to other states. Let’s be candid about who they are – business-hostile Democrats who’ve never run a business, never raised capital, never built a building, never met a payroll, never arranged for employee health-care policies, never sold a product or service, never competed with lower-priced foreign competitors, and never paid any of the countless taxes and fees imposed by various levels of government.”
