What happened
A report published in the Daily Caller details a study conducted by NumbersUSA into land loss in California. The research found that 91% of land development since 1970 was caused by steady population increases linked to immigration. The study noted that the population in California had doubled over the past five decades, leading to the loss of 2.4 million acres of land between 1982 and 2022.

Why it matters
The loss of land occurred as development was needed to accommodate population growth. Researchers found that this demographic shift contributed to issues including water shortages, increased wildfires, and rising housing costs in the state.
