Are you going to make the case that LA isn't "doing well" either? Should we call it old california?

In the Midwest, the cities that millenials are moving to or from tend to correspond to the broader trends in those cities, in California they do not, Millenials are probably leaving LA because it is too expensive. There have been two Midwests for a while now, one that has had relatively strong growth, and one that has been mostly stagnant with slow growth or outright decline. It may not be a popular thing to say, especially on this forum where people's sense of self is tied up with their city, but I don't see the point in ignoring unpleasant facts because of people's feelings.
