I now live in an area where I don’t have to worry about vagrants, beggars at every intersection and off-ramp, police helicopters hovering around my neighborhood at every hour of the day and night, ensuring my house, gate, and car is fully locked up at night and able to sleep without sirens blasting down the street.

Taxes had nothing to do with this move.

Texas was the primary destination for California ex-pats, with 72,306 total exemptions leaving to go there. Neighboring Arizona saw 53,476 total filing exemptions come from California.

Arizona is probably half the size of Texas yet nearly as many went to AZ? Scary.

I think that Elon Musk leaving, alone should have pushed that figure up by a few bucks.

Me and my wife did so more than 10 years ago. We quit our jobs, sold our home, and left our home state when it became obvious that Moonbeam was going to be elected governor. That, for us, was the last straw.
Our family and friends told us we were overreacting. Later, as the state went completely downhill, with massive homelessness invading middle-class and upper-class areas, taxes going through the roof, etc...they asked us,
How Did You Know? We told them, it’s simple, we were paying attention to the trends, and the trends toward Liberal Anarchy were so very obvious to us.

Well the first thing you know ol Jed's a millionaire,
The kinfolk said "Jed move away from there"
Said "Californy is no place you ought to be"
So they loaded up the truck and they moved from Beverly

My next oldest brother moved to California while in the military. It’s taken him 35 years to get out but 6 months ago he moved back to Lubbock!

I hated California from the very first second I happened to be there. That was 17 years ago when supposedly everything was just ducky.

Golden Exodus: California Shrank By 165,000 Taxpayers, $8.8 Billion In Gross Income

Yes, but the number of non-taxpayers (illegals swarming over the border) actually increased, so it's all good, right?

Regards,

Tell him to escape now before the wall and guard towers go up and it’s too late.

Replacing makers with takers has cost NYS almost half its House seats, and has NYS circling the bowl.

Welcome to failed statehood, California.

You can’t say you weren’t warned.

I almost moved to CA in 2007 for a job. Last moment another job opportunity popped up and didn’t moved. Sincerely dodged a bullet there.

——California, the nation’s most-populous state——

By abrogating Federal law, California effectively seceded from the Union and is no longer really a state

It’s a permanent cycle. California got rich and prosperous under Republican leaders like Reagan. Once it got rich the Democrats got in and helped themselves to the wealth.

States like Georgia are only a few steps behind. It’s was a backwater under decades of Democrats. In 20 years Republicans have created a booming economy, but now it is threatened by a Dem return.

This is just 2018-2019. I’m sure that the last two years have been even worse. Mexifornia is hemorrhaging taxpayers.
