Michigan would be a stretch, because geographically it's so far away, and the climate is so much different. You might get a few Californians moving here because they have family here, or are offered a job here, but to just move for a better life, I doubt it (not in great numbers).

Actually, Michigan to California is an easy travel. Lot's of flights out at discount prices. It's also an easy (but long) drive.
In terms of cost of housing, most Californians would be amazed. Houses in Michigan are well built for the price. Someone living in the Bay area told me my house would cost $3 million there. It's 1/10th that here.
I definitely think Michigan could draw Californians who want a beautiful state, lakes, change of seasons and less expensive slower pace of life.
