There's little change in elevation but you can avoid areas which are known to have been evacuated or flooded, etc.
I'm wondering if I might set up my retirement to be a snowbird in FL and summers in Idaho.

You stole my idea! Except maybe Spring and Fall in TX.
IN SUMMARY
California is losing population and some of those leaving the state are high-income taxpayers who provide a huge share of the state’s revenues.
After 170 years of population growth — occasionally explosive growth — California is now experiencing population loss for the first time.
As foreign immigration and birth rates declined, they no longer offset net losses in state-to-state migration. Since 2010, 7.5 million people have left California while 5.9 million people have come from other states.
That gives rise to a question: Who is leaving California and why? ...
California’s top income tax rate, 13.3% on taxable incomes over $1 million, is by far the nation’s highest and when added to the top federal rate of 37% pushes the overall bite to more than 50%. Moreover, a tax overhaul during the Donald Trump presidency basically ended the ability to deduct state income taxes on federal returns.
If anything, California’s taxes on the wealthy are likely to increase. Proposition 30, a measure on the November ballot, would boost the top marginal rate to over 15%, raising money for programs to battle climate change, and another tax hike is headed for the 2024 ballot.
The wealthy are quite capable of protecting themselves, including moving to another state. However, they are vitally important to California’s schools, health care and myriad other public services. Income taxes account for three-quarters of California’s general fund revenues and the top 1% of California taxpayers generate nearly half of those taxes.
That’s just 150,000 taxpayers in a state of 40 million, so even a trickle of departures has a potentially huge impact on the budget.

The vaccine mandate bullshit was the final straw for me, but I already had one foot out the door. I just used the mandates as an excuse to convince my family to leave. It's almost one year since we left San Diego for Tennessee, and I'm so fucking happy.
Any famous or rich person who gives a reason besides taxes for departing California is lying.
California is superior to most states in most ways; it's just taxing people too much.

Allstate, one of the nation's largest insurance companies, has joined State Farm in deciding to halt sales of property and casualty coverage to new customers in California, saying it's too pricey to underwrite policies in the state which has seen thousands of natural disasters in recent years.
Allstate quietly stopped issuing new policies in California months ago, but didn't announce the move until Friday. Allstate was the fourth-largest insurer in California, according to the most recent 2021 state data. It earned $4.3 billion in premiums that year and incurred $2.6 billion in losses.
"You mean Google, right?"
"If so, this seems like an opportunity. I could have a thread about where to buy ivermectin and how much it costs."

We're in a semi drought here. Haven't had any real measurable rain in about 3 weeks. Less than 1/4". Outside of golf courses and rich people, we generally don't water here. Things are browning up pretty good right now lawn wise. 10 day forecast looks like shit too. One chance of rain.

Been saying it. You guys will likely be fine. But the quality of living is going to go to absolute shit. The climate and scenery is too good that people will stick it out. But the people with millions of dollars that can move to Scottsdale, AZ, Texas, FL, etc. they will.
CA is late to the party and it's going to take a massive toll as the article mentions on tax revenue. Cuts and tax raises are coming. Look at the IL and specifically Chicago playbook for exodus. You're going to be stuck with a bunch of poor, service sector workers that don't pay taxes.

Dean Cain Reaches Limit with California’s Soft-on-Crime Policies, Moves to Nevada
Former Superman actor Dean Cain is the latest celebrity to tell California politicians to go pound sand.
Cain has moved out of the state over “terrible” policies that have led to surges in crime, taxes, and homelessness.
“I love California,” Cain said in a statement.
“It’s the most beautiful state.
“Everything’s wonderful about it except for the policies.
“The policies are just terrible.
“The fiscal policies, the soft-on-crime policies, the homelessness policies.
“The things that our leaders in California have been doing have driven out anybody who can really afford to get out.
“People are flocking out of there in droves. ...
Cain listed his Malibu home in March, selling the property for $6.25 million last month.

Rod Stewart came to America to avoid high British taxes. Maybe California taxes have reached or surpassed the British level so might as well go home.

Ah, Ellie Mae Clampett. Who wouldn't want to win one of those church fund raiser picnic basket dates with her?

HELLUVA nice guy by the way.
Funny you ask. I called my local CVS pharmacy and the guy said Ivermectin is not approved for Covid and said I should be getting vaccinated. CVS is not supplying it for Covid. I called my local Walgreens and the guy said they can't supply it for Covid but that he agrees they should. I realized that each pharmacy decides if they choose to prescribe it. I found a local (non-chain) pharmacy (Medicine Counter Pharmacy) that supplies it and ordered some and now have it. Not cheap but definitely worth having it on hand. I believe anyone can order from them, even outside TN.

Great - we have a poster from Tennessee - the only state in the union where Ivermectin is an over the counter medication!
Porkchop, tell us about Ivermectin... Is it available in grocery stores? How much does it cost?

How much?
"Had it [Covid] once and it was a massive nothing burger outside of having to fly back home from Mexico."

Text in brackets is mine...
Wookie, if you had Covid in Mexico did you look into purchasing Ivermectin and HCQ from Mexico? They are, to my knowledge, over the counter medications... And if you did, how much was it?
California State Senator Scott Wilk advised residents who “love their children” to “flee” the state, citing a new bill that would classify refusal to “affirm” a child’s gender as child abuse. Parents could potentially lose custody of their children if they refuse to support their child’s decision to “transition” to another gender.

Almost twice as much to leave California for Texas than Vice-Versa:

When you bring a U-Haul back to California, you do the company a favor, so another Middle Class family can leave for Texas.
