#1 Yeah, right. People have been bailing out of New York for as long as I can remember and that's a long, long time. Yet somehow it remains one of the most populous states in the union with one of the biggest cities in the world. You can hear those New York accents all over the country but especially in southern California. High taxes, high property values, discouraging business climate. Blah, blah, blah. Speaking of California, I keep hearing about how everybody is leaving this state. And yet to me it seems just as crowded as ever. So go away already. Who needs you?

#2 Taxes won't do it. Greenie created shortages of energy [brown/black outs] and food shortages will. NIMBY comes home.

#3 Regarding California EU6305, you might want to look a bit closer at the demographics of who is leaving and who is arriving, especially their economic, educational and cultural orientation. Those who are being counted upon to carry the freight for the other half are at the fed-up stage as they think about leaving.
In todays' Sacramento Bee the new legislation banning the seizure of autos when the driver has no license or insurance (illegals), authorizing in state tuition for undocumented students (illegals), proposing yet again state licenses for undocumented drivers (illegals), making city elected officals virtually unable to declare bankruptcy because of unionized public-sector worker contracts, and now card check unionization for agricultural workers. The US Chamber study of CEOs found CA 50th of the states for its business/ta/regulatory climate

Anyone who cannot see the end-state this leads to is not paying attention. So yes, the state remains crowded, but the future looms crowded, broke and very diminished quality of life. At some point, even the perfect climate can't balance that out anymore.
