What's to explain? It's a bunch of people, most of whom you've never met, who are just as likely to be homicidal maniacs as they are to be normal everyday people, with whom you share the minutiae of your everyday life. It's totally normal, and everyone would understand.

I agree with those who think California is a great place to live. I just think that I shouldn't have to pay for the Californians great lifestyle. So as long as California taxes it's own citizens to take care of it's budget and debts and the Federal government using my taxes isn't used, I am all for Californians living in California.
Please don't tell me that California is so important the Federal Government must bail it out. I shouldn't be paying for California's choices.

My wife has been put on notice that when the kids are grown we are going. Thankfully she agrees.
And I am not going to wuss out on it like RC Vikings."It's true that everything happens for a reason. Just remember that sometimes that reason is that you did something really, really, stupid."

The response here is funny. As if we are all ignorant of what makes California such a great place (I always tell my wife we should retire and move to SD).
The point of Ted's linked article is that California is ranked dead last in the survey and that businesses are picking up and leaving the state. Anyone who loves California or recognizes the important role it plays in our economy ought to be alarmed by that."There is no creature more arrogant than a self-righteous libertarian on the web, am I right? Those folks are just intolerable."

Nope. There isn't another state that has all of that."It's true that everything happens for a reason. Just remember that sometimes that reason is that you did something really, really, stupid."

My sense is that the article grossly overstates the exodus. All of the CEOs I know grumble a lot about California, but they have no intention of ever relocating, as the personal and professional advantages of being in Silicon Valley outweigh substantially the negatives of a messed up state government. I suspect Silicon Valley will continue to be the world's greatest incubator of tech companies for years to come.What's to explain?
