When it comes to CA, The only reason people "want" to move from more expensive to cheaper places is price alone, not any other characteristics - supply and demand doesn't work like that. More expensive = more demand. People can't afford to live in expensive places the way they'd like to. What's cute most years in CA (I haven't seen Covid-data, which probably changes things) is that net migration among people making >100K is positive. So wealthy people are pushing others out. Yay free market? Is there anything naturally "Republican" about having large amounts of land for (frequently still Democratic-leaning) cities to continue to sprawl into in red states, avoiding the crunch that hit the California cities that ran out of space earlier? Another way of phrasing it: people want to move to lower population density.
