Local tv stations are now asking why their viewers are fleeing high taxes and fiscal mismanagement. Good idea to creat newscasts focused on this topic. How to move from California might be a best seller.
I am in Florida. I moved from NY. Cuomo said that my conservative values were not NY values. I agree. Myself and my family took our conservative beliefs where we welcomed with open arms.
In the mid 2010s, while visiting California, I ran into an old girlfriend who I hadn't seen for about 25 years.
She asked me if I will ever move back to California.
I said "Move back to this nanny state?...no way"
She rolled her eyes and said "We've lost you to them" (meaning that she thought I used to be a Democrat but was, in real time during our conversation, a Republican).
Funny thing is, I was during that conversation (and still am) an Independent and, during the whole time we were dating, she assumed I was a Democrat, but I was a Republican during that whole time (politics never came up).
Thread title says, "Why are even democrats fleeing California?" when there is absolutely nothing in the article that talks about Democrat vs. Republican. The article only refers to some companies who have chosen to relocate their headquarters to states with a lower cost of living.
OP made up the partisan angle and is total fiction. Why lie?
Other than you and me, I wonder how many people actually read the article. I think the truth is that it was yet another ridiculously misleading attempt to make Democrats look bad.
If I may read between the lines, I think the companies are also attracted by no income tax in Texas and Tennessee, the top two states they are moving to.
My daughter is leaving because her 6 figure salary isn't enough to buy a home where she works. She's a Micro Biologist and the average home 1300 sq ft., on a 5000 sq ft lot, and costs 1.5 million. NC is on her radar.
Within the last 13 months.....I spent almost a month in NC.

Companies are moving to lower tax locals. It's a direct and measurable metric that is tied to Democrat policies.
I'm not trying to make a slam against the dems per se, just noting the facts.
They like what the fanatic liberal politicians promised, so they voted for them and continue to do so.
But once they get a dose of what the politicians actually deliver (or fail to deliver), and get the bill for all the repeated failures of their agenda, then they run like rabbits.
Strangely enough, once they get settled in a red state, the fanatic liberal politicians who followed them there, start making all the same far-left promises. The transplanted liberals believe them (again), and pay little attention to what they actually deliver (again), until crime starts to rise, taxes skyrocket, homelessness explodes etc. etc. and the area is gradually destroyed just as their former home was.
One definition of insanity, is trying the same thing over and over, and expecting a different result.
Democrats love to move to red areas and then proceed to crap them all up with the same liberal nonsense that made them leave whatever blue dump they came from.
Wash-rinse-repeat til blue in the face.
But once again, Democrats or liberals avoid the ruby red states, like Kansas and Oklahoma, like the plague, which is good, since it keeps the cost of living down. It shouldn't be too hard to find a small house for under $150,000, which would go for over a million in San Francisco. People avoid moving to the Plain States from Oklahoma to the Canadian border, due to incredibly bad year-round bad weather and lack of decent paying jobs.
People move from California mostly because of the high cost of living, the traffic and the crowding. All three of those are due to the fact that a lot of people want to live there. So it can't be all bad.
