isn't this kinda what's happening in lots of cities where tech companies open offices and housing prices start to skyrocket?

Their migration numbers still show more people leaving than arriving. Also I think a lot of the sentiment is in places where a.lot of them move to, where our housing prices are being driven up by people who sold homes 8n the bay area, and we have to deal with people with California plates on their cars bitching about the weather and immediately getting into an accident the first time they experience moisture on the road.

I'm pretty sure that Australia does not have legislation establishing an investment vehicle in section 401(k) of the federal Internal Revenue Code, actually.

Yes, yes it is.

I’m not saying everyone is leaving the state, I’m saying there’s a ton of people leaving the state to other places with similar job markets and lower costs of living, including where I live. California has about 750% the population of Colorado, a tiny amount of emigration for them is a huge amount of immigration for us.

It's like arguing the ticket and concession prices at Disneyland are too high for most Americans to be able to afford a trip, so a big chunk of the people who get inside, or have already been inside for a long time, are technically too broke to afford to be there. It means people are being priced out based on demand. It's not good for your average Joe, but it's good for Disneyland as long as the demand is there. People in Alabama and Mississippi on the other hand are broke because those states are the nations septic tanks. There isn't any demand. All that's left are people who couldn't get out and are stuck there.

People who get priced out of the Bay Area/LA do not move to Yreka. Maybe if Bay Area/LA wealth spread into the rest of CA instead of other states the poverty numbers wouldn’t be so bad.

I wish Californians would stay in their state and not come to mine.

It's probably just an attempt to mimic Asian successes like WeChat's transfer, which has pretty much replaced all other traditional payments, also commercial, in China. Having not read the whitepaper, I'm confident in saying it's not a cryptocurrency in any meaningful interpretation of the word.

iirc there's been a decent amount of research that's found migration is overwhelmingly driven by job prospects and that for the wealthy, state tax rate is a minor concern at best. like Illinois is losing people to the point we have a negative pop growth rate, but it's mainly lower and middle income people leaving.

California’s housing prices are entirely an unforced error and if they could get their act together with regards to 70s or 80s levels of homebuilding, you wouldn’t see nearly as many people leaving the state.

Dingbats in LA were the last form of housing that was cheap enough to be affordable when they were built, but then they changed the zoning to ban them in the single family neighborhoods where they could be built cheaply.

At the same time, making your money in California and then loving off to play cowboy in Jackson, WY is so popular that there are some massive houses there.

if you're that wealthy that state taxes might impact your decision on where to live, you probably have a house in Wyoming already if you like such things

If California can have the 5th largest economy in the world and succeed, it's more difficult to discount their policies.

I don’t know, it could be argued that the fact that California has such a huge economy makes whatever government policy the state implements not really matter a whole lot.

It could also be argued that a lot of California’s success has/had little to do with the state government, and more to do with history and natural advantages. California is playing Oregon Trail as a doctor while Mississippi is playing as a teacher.

It's cool to visit, but I'd get cabin fever living there. It's the sort of place that if you decide to drive out of town anywhere, you better fill up your gas tank because you'll need it to get to the next gas station.
