Just an excerpt from this article at the San Jose Mercury News:
California's skyrocketing housing costs, taxes prompt exodus of residents
And the money quote:
During the 12 months ending June 30, the number of people leaving California for another state exceeded by 61,100 the number who moved here from elsewhere in the U.S., according to state Finance Department statistics. The so-called "net outward migration" was the largest since 2011, when 63,300 more people fled California than entered.
An interesting metric is looking at U-Haul rental prices from San Francisco to Dallas Texas. It is about $2K from SF to Dallas but only $1K from Dallas to SF - they don'y have enough trucks in SF so they charge market price...
