Living in California is more desirable than living in Texas? That might be true for you, but is it true in general? If we accept the cost of a one-way U-Haul as a proxy for desirability, as http://blog.american.com/?p=9141 http://blog.american.com/?p=9141 does, it suggests that many more people are moving from California to Texas than vice versa, which (if you believe people act on their desire) suggests that Texas is currently a more desirable place to live than California. Anyone with time to do the work can get data on net inflows and outflows directly from the IRS, starting here: http://www.irs.gov/taxstats/article/0,,id=212718,00.html http://www.irs.gov/taxstats/article/0,,id=212718,00.html
