You may want to look at it as turning earth over as a preserve/museum. Orion's arm has a conservation AI named GAIA kick humanity off world, but you don't have invoke an unfeeling AI: people can be dogmatic too, or you may have the resources to move everyone.

If you're going a hard-scifi mass migration route, you may want to look at orbital rings. They're only worth it if you're lifting large amounts of mass off earth, but you plan to do just that. They don't require much in the way of new tech, just old tech applied.
