As a Californian who has sold his company, sold his home, and later this month plans to move to a home I purchased in Tennessee, I can tell you that the LA Times is lying. I know plenty of people, more than just the celebrities that you know of that are making the move out of state to the Texas, Florida, and, like me, Tennessee. More so as I informed my clients that I was selling the business, so many told me of their family and friends were doing the same. All wished me well and most told me how much they wish they could leave but for one reason or another they were unable to do so. We know we can't trust media sources like the LA Times. And this one, I can tell you for sure, that they're full of crap. At the very best case for CA, if it is indeed a net wash of move outs and move ins, they are replacing tax payers with tax users. And that will not work out over the long haul.

EDIT - Hell... I was there this week and the guy who mans the gate at the rental car garage at Nashville BNA airport looked at my CA drivers license and asked if I was looking at houses. I told him I already bought one and he said everyone with a CA ID coming through is looking at houses. LA Times is just a propaganda arm of the Democrat party. Plain and simple.
