Well, wait -- ignores companies like Facebook opening datacenters out of state The bulk of Facebook's employees don't work in datacenters, and (as another poster noted), big companies do this for redundancy and to reduce latency -- not because of some ill will against the state. a growing number of people leaving the state (I'm one of them) Sounds anecdotal to me, and I've noticed nothing but a surge of out-of-state license plates in the past few months -- but given a population of some 40 million, I don't think a "growing number" of people leaving is a huge problem. It's the economy, not strictly the population number. California doesn't appear to be serious about [owing money]. No more or less than any other state.
