691,000 people moved out of California last year. Here's where they went.

I moved out of California recently. I'll move back when I can afford Santa Barbara or Newport Beach [and perhaps my own security force.] Just not worth all the hassles: Mexican hit and run drunks, gang idiots shooting and stabbing each other, taxes, loonie communist governor instituting Venezuelan policies, shitty roads, power outages, homeless gutter snipe people messing things up, lack of gas stations, high gas prices, business unfriendliness, ridiculous traffic, [Los Angeles is worst on the planet] etc... oh, and I got a death threat from an Antifa loonie, got attacked by another one, had to get a restraining order... I'm relaxing in a red state currently, wouldn't have it any other way...

The northeast states have CA beat on this. The taxpayer base in NY, NJ, CT has been on a steady downward trajectory over the past decade as property taxes spiral out of control. The next financial crisis will uneven across the country and certain states will all but implode. There will be state+municipal insolvencies when their debt ratings go into the C's.

Amazing how all of the states you listed had a demonstrably larger tax base last year than they did the year before and the year before that and.... And the GDP of all of those states has been increasing each of those years as well. I know, you love your narrative based on antecdotal reports of old rich guys moving to FL from NYC, as if this hasn't been happening since it became feasible for old rich guys to retire in FL from NYC. But you can't just pull a false assertion out of your ass about declining tax bases without data. Where is your data on that again?

I moved out of Cali because I got fed up with liberal & social policies, bureaucracy/red-tape, totalitarianism, taxes, crime, earthquakes, overcrowding, traffic, lack of parking, trash, expensive housing, and utopia in general.

What part of California did you live in where they called it Cali? That was as cringe worthy as Frisco when I lived there and a sure way to tell someone wasn't a local.

LA/Culver City, then San Francisco.
Cali is defined as an annoying name for California by non-natives. Though I don’t remember when & where I’ve learned it, must’ve heard it many times though.

I really don't see the relation, but I lived in Canada and paid taxes there. It is a nightmare. You are a slave.

Canada the greatest country in the world!!

The only thing I don't like about Canada is the weather.

It's why I spend my winters in Arizona.​
