#1 Fantastic statistical and economic lesson. Most people stay put even if nothing is keeping them where they are.

#3 Yes. We're doing so "well" managing the mex border, why not invite the Chinee to have a CONUS outpost too.

Agreed. Back in 1986 - 1987, I couldn't move out of Manchester, NH fast enough. State Street Bank's mutual fund accounting dept. was booming at the time, so off I went. It was an easier move for me because my family were all criminals & assholes. When I was helping out on our last big high school class reunion, I figured 75-80% of the people I got in touch with were still in the greater Manchester area, thirty years later.

#9 people who take their voting patterns with them.

This is not a random sample of Californians. The people who are moving are conservative and are disgusted with the nanny state.

#10 Keep leaving. When I'm the last one left I can be King!

#11 Interestingly, as Christopher Thornberg, founding partner of research and consulting firm Beacon Economics in Los Angeles, noted when looking at the data, "lower income Californians are the ones who are leaving, not higher income."

I suspect these are not the GOP voters we are looking for.

#12 Maybe Australia will give a few of us fast-track immigration the way they are doing for South African farmers.

I think the devil said something similar about hell.

I would offer Atlanta's Hartfield-Jackson Airport as the 'gateway.' Be advised, Californians now living in Georgia have priority boarding.

#15 IMHO the Beacon Analyst is FOS. Every single site I have looked at for moving out of Northern California (Prescott, Boise metro area, Coeur d'Alene, Carson City NV, Aiken SC) has had significant Californication of the housing prices. In my last trips to Boise, Nampa. and Minden/Gardnerville, the realtors opened commented on the number of California exiles that had been driving up housing prices. Mind you, these were all homes we were looking at in the 600-750 k range, and were comparable or modest upgrades to California prices where we live now. Lower income refuges from the Workers Paradise of California may also be fleeting, but this impact was all high-middle to high end impacts.

#16 NoMoreBS, in the early 90s I moved to Spokane Washington and found the locals tended to dislike Californians because they drove the housing prices up. My wife worked for a realtor, they loved Californians, but anyone renting or trying to buy a house hated them.
