It's more of the "money types" have the money to pick up and move half-way across the nation at the drop of a hat, and not worry about trying to find a new job or housing, etc. A luxury the rest of us cannot afford. They are fleeing red tape, overregulation and general dysfunction, yes... along with things like a hypocritical governor[1] that crushes businesses seemingly at random[2], ludicrously high state income tax rates, property tax rates and sales tax rates[3], and half the state burning to the ground every year due to what our government tells us is Global Warming's fault, instead of decades of awfully misguided forestry management policy[4], a massive homeless problem that gets worse every year[5] and is consuming coveted public areas like Venice Beach[6], people defecating in the streets right in front of families[7], an electric grid that is turned off for millions of people when the wind blows too much[8] and also when the wind blows too little[9]... plus more. And then when our government officials are questioned about the "Exodus" they laugh and say, where are you going to go? The entire country has all these same problems you're complaining about!"[10] Which is absurdly false. There definitely are greener pastures in this massive country... perhaps Austin and/or Texas isn't it... but California isn't as good as it gets, at least certainly not any more.
