Like many other Republican and conservative voters in California, the retired couple have decided to leave the state. A major reason, Stark and her spouse say, is their disenchantment with deep-blue Californias liberal political culture.
Despite spending most of their lives in the Golden State, they were fed up with high taxes, lukewarm support for local law enforcement, and policies they believe have thrown open the doors to illegal immigration.

Those people thinking it's Californians who've been turning their states blue should be looking inwards at their own school systems who no doubt are churning out a conga-line of brainwashed young leftist every year.
California not Commie RED enough for ‘em ?
California is now a Mexican colony.
US citizens should get out while they can.
It may be soon be impossible to leave and take your money with you.
I suspect that a California conservative is a left of center person anywhere else.
If they don’t change their political notions, stay out of Texas. I am barely civil to any newcomers I meet from a blue state and most of my fellow native Texans feel the same way.

While I really didn't want to leave the state, selling the house last October while the value was high definitely felt great (other than the CA tax bill for capital gains). The house may continue to rise in value, but I wouldn't bet on it.
Theyre late to the party. I left California in 2006 and Ive never looked back.
People who get caught trying to escape Cuba are shot, imprisoned, and tortured because they make the Cuban government look bad. Gavin Newsom might have to consider taking similar measures. Maybe Newsom and the Democrats will institute a wealth confiscation tax instead of bullets.
What many Californians do is they leave the state complaining about how liberalism is destroying the state, they move to Texas, and vote Democrat anyway
“Theyre late to the party. I left California in 2006 and Ive never looked back.”
Hell, I left in 1979 and never looked back.
“selling the house last October while the value was high definitely felt great (other than the CA tax bill for capital gains)”
Every state I have lived in if you have lived in the house 2 years or longer and then sell and if you make a huge profit there is no tax to be paid.
We sold a house 3 years ago and made over 150k and did not have to pay any taxes on it.
You must be one of those leftist who bailed out of CA and are now liberalizing your new state...☺
How could you screw this up?...

Living in an Arizona border town adjacent to Calif ... I have opportunity to speak with quite a few Californians. Many of these Californians claim that they are conservative. However after talking with them for a bit it becomes very clear that measured on the Arizona scale they are actually screaming liberals. I don't really think that most Californians know what it is to be a conservative .
“... they move to Texas, and vote Democrat anyway”
And those are the conservative ones.
Funny, because there was a report from earlier this year that a larger percentage of native Taxans voted for Beto than did transplants to the state.
I get the dislike of Californians in Texas. Complain to Texas state government agencies to stop trying to motivate out-of-state businesses from moving to Texas. Sadly, they bring many liberal tech personnel with them, including those from India (overwhelmingly male who vote DEM).
