Moving Out Of California - A state in the rearview mirror - Los Angeles Times
During the last fiscal year, 135,173 more people moved out of California than moved in from other states. Though just a drop in the bucket for a state of 38 million people, the trend remains significant because such declines usually occur when working Californians decide better opportunities lie elsewhere.
"I just gave up," said Grace Bryant, a former Glendora resident who fled to Texas after 18 months without consistent employment as a residential appraiser. "California is too much of a struggle."
Like Bryant, many of those who left California went to Texas, according to truck rental company U-Haul International Inc.; other popular states were Nevada, Arizona and Washington
The article was written back in 2008. I'm in CO and can only speak from personal experience: There SEEMS to be too many Californians living here.
I've also heard of Idaho being over-run with fruits and nuts.
How many, of that tiny, tiny number, lived there temporarily for temp jobs (which Cally is full of), Schooling, looking to make it in Hollywood / Writing and/or art........................Just...one would wonder.
There WAS (still) a lot o' open-land, when they first started showin'-up, in CO (when I first heard the term "Californication")....but, a lot o' them were (also) realtors.
The "math" isn't that hard to figure-out.
