They left out the most important fact: capital flight.
Many of us are voting with our feet. I am taking my considerable salary (tax revenue to government types) from California to Texas. Any business who can will leave the onerous conditions to the beckoning environs of Nevada or other nearby states.
Very soon there will be more in the cart than pulling it.
Of course you are exactly right. Salt Lake City is going to be a frikin’ boom town. I should go snap up some apartment complexes there.

I picked up the family and the business and moved us from Cali to Texas three years ago. Best move I ever made. And I'm a Cali native, sad to say.
On that same note, I read an article some months back, where over a thousand corporate CEOs who were looking to move, were asked to rate the 50 states between Most Desirable, and Least Desirable (for relocating their businesses to).
Not surprisingly, Texas was #1, while California polled dead last at #50.
Okies, it’s time to return home.
