They are looking out for their own skin. NY and CA are bleeding people with money. People who pay those state taxes but soon won't.
I never thought I'd move for tax reasons. I am moving to TX this year.

- dmitrygr 6y agonot even remotely, worry not. I am a libertarian who was de-facto forced to be here for work. No longer forced -> no longer here
- disgrunt 6y agoThe irony there is I know a lot of native Texans fleeing the state as they see the Californication of Austin spreading and only getting worse.
- dragonwriter 6y ago> NY and CA are bleeding people with money. Every analysis I've seen is that (1) CA has small net domestic out-migration, but (2) the domestic out-migrants are significantly less well off the domestic in-migrants, and (3) at least before the last couple years (Trump immigration restrictions and then the pandemic probably changed this in the short term, but neither is likely to persist in current form and effect) the net domestic out-migration was more than balanced by international immigration. California isn’t bleeding “people with money”, its bleeding “Americans without money”. Which is in part a sign of real issues that should be addressed, but its also in large part a symptom of success and the rich outbidding the poor for limited real estate.
