#1 Californians did the same thing to Colorado. Fled the high taxes and oppressive government... then voted in people to raise taxes and make the government more oppressive.

Seriously, some people just need put in a rocket and fired into the sun.

#3 Back in the early 90s when the economy was horrible Eastern Washington was full of Californians raising the housing prices which was great for those already in the market and lame for those who weren't. They all moved back when the economy in California picked up again.

#4 Here goes the neighborhood.

In Akureyri, but on a much smaller scale.

#8 California was ruined by too many people flooding in from other states. This is all just fair play.

#9 Strictly anecdotal, of course, but I remember back in the 1970's when it seemed like every other car I saw had Texas plates. The ones that didn't had New York plates. I hope you're getting the New Yorkers because it was the weirdos from all of your states who came out here and made California weird. Thank you very much.

You think I like all the hippies, loonies and illegal aliens? Did you see the last line of the article where it says our population still increased because of foreign-born immigrants? That's a national policy that has been foisted upon California in part by you folks in your flyover states. So you deserve a few Californians to atone for your sins. How about you take a few of these Chinamen off our hands?

#11 The newly arrived Pinewood Studios in my area has brought a number of California folks. It all began a few years back with the filming near here, of 'The Walking Dead' series. Moving to Georgia was probably quite a shock for the 'deaders.' We've also experienced an influx of New Englander retirees, who have come here to escape the high taxes and related thievery of the communist east coast.

Neither the deaders or the New England folk receive much of a welcome from the locals. Change is very slow here. Unfortunately the locals are quite proud of slow.

#12 Do what you can to keep them from contaminating your state with marxist blue.
