most likely what will happen is people will just leave CA, leaving a shortage and it will fail

  Do people migrate out of EU states with universal health care? They have free movement and everything. I think this would actually be another great lock-in feature, on top of rent control and Prop 13 making it so nobody would ever want to sell their house.

  > most likely what will happen is people will just leave CA Could you please inform our population here about that? Republicans keep promising that people will flee the Blue states due to various policies; somehow it never seems to happen. Could you let us know what we're doing wrong? We'd really like to send some of these folks to Red states to help balance out the voting. Thanks bunches.

"Every year from 2000 through 2015, more people left California than moved in from other states. This migration was not spread evenly across all income groups, a Sacramento Bee review of U.S. Census Bureau data found. The people leaving tend to be relatively poor, and many lack college degrees. Move higher up the income spectrum, and slightly more people are coming than going. About 2.5 million people living close to the official poverty line left California for other states from 2005 through 2015, while 1.7 million people at that income level moved in from other states – for a net loss of 800,000. During the same period, the state experienced a net gain of about 20,000 residents earning at least five times the poverty rate – or $100,000 for a family of three." Life in California is becoming a luxury good, largely due to its own policies, and that is not a state in the right direction.
