You're an expert in economics. Explain why it takes time for capital flight to occur and what's the expected population decay expected in Massachusetts given the current policies. Make note of supply and demand curves. Use less than five sentences.
Capital flight takes time because investors must liquidate assets, navigate regulatory hurdles, and identify safer investments, all of which are complex and time-consuming processes. Population decay in Massachusetts due to current policies is expected as high taxes and living costs push residents to more affordable states, shifting the supply and demand curves for housing and labor. The supply curve for housing may increase, lowering prices, while the demand curve for labor may decrease, reducing wages. Over time, these economic adjustments can significantly impact population dynamics and economic stability in the state.
