I know things are bad in CA, but I didn't realize it's so bad that more than 1/2 the citizens are considering leaving. I know it has a lot to do with property values, however, it is also the highest taxed state in the union with $6B a year in gas taxes alone. WOW!
It may not be long before their economy starts collapsing under the weight of its own hubris. After the way the Amazon deal went, NY isn't far behind. I know I want to move to a state with no sales tax and hopefully less political strife.
Liberal states seem to be a lot more stressful to live in.

This is nothing new. Half the Californians you meet here will tell you they want to leave because things are expensive, 99% of them are just talk and will never follow through. I know people who have been talking about leaving for the past 20 years. Heck, I know right-wing conservatives who's been saying they wanted to leave and then keep complaining how they can't find anywhere good to move to. They want the Californian life but cheaper and run by Republicans. Good luck.
States with no sales tax tend to make it up in other ways, like a jumbo property tax (like TX).
Liberal states are more stressful because that's where things are happening. We have to compete with the world. When a person lives in slow Middle America and only worries about the next hurricane, of course life is a lot less stressful.

I hope/pray they don't leave... I cannot tolerate a lot of idiots in my community...

It is actually quite difficult if you are rooted in your home and community. If you are not retired then you have to worry about lining up work, finding a new home and if you have children you have to get them settled into a new location.
I want Californians to move to all the red states just to annoy you all.
Right?
It's funny, because Hawaii is way more expensive, way more Blue State than CA, but no one cares if we move to their state.
We were in Nevada and someone complained about Californians moving there, driving up home values, and bad drivers, and a whole list of stuff, but we were okay because we were from Hawaii. Go figure.

Please stay out of my state, we have a bad enough influx of New Yorkers anyhow.
