Already addressed this. Now I can't speak for California, because I've never been or lived there. But NY has changed so much, families leave to get away from the immigrant takeover that is moving in to be honest.
When my family came to Ellis Island and the Italians, Germans, Polish, and others came into town, alot of people were displaced and left. Now the same thing is happening where so many Chinese, Korean, Puerto Rican, Mexican, Russian, and Albanians are making neighborhoods not the same. So people don't want to live there.
When immigrants first come over their culture is very heavily focused on what they just left. But as generations go on, that fades away. So you can find plenty of people speaking Russian now, but very few people that speak Italian and German. They've been Americanized enough through time that it almost seems like they lost their roots. But it's all just assimilating to America and the culture this country has.
