People and companies are leaving the state in droves. That has been the fantasy of many for at least as long as I've been able to read a newspaper, which is going on 50 years. And it never really seems to happen. Sure, there's a year or two of net migration out of the state, a few companies actually do leave, U-Haul reports that there are no rental trucks in the state of CA, they're all in $ANOTHER_STATE. Then a few years later, house prices keep going up and net population rises. Maybe that big CA housing crash might actually happen this time, I dunno. I'm not counting on it, though. (Or for that matter, I'm not even caring, as we rejected moving to CA many years ago, and taxes are certainly a factor in that decision.)
