27% plan to leave the state

Which means they will come to other areas and then vote for the same policies that fouled the nest they left. Bad news.

Maybe not. The ones who leave will tend to be the more conservative ones.

I have not noticed that. Here in my part of VA we get lots of refugees from Northern VA, NY and CN that come here for safety and low taxes, but vote in the same type of politicians that created the mess they are running from.

H-1's and Green Carders are not citizens. They cannot vote.

When it comes time to putting their money where their mouth is, many of them will not.

This seems to be backed up with recent data.

So it shows Republicans are fleeing the state much more than dems, but there's still quite a few dems too. I'm guessing this is why I always read about Texans who despise the CA refugees which move to their state in vast lucust swarms, who then proceed to vote libtard after fleeing their own libtard vote aftermath.

As I was looking into this I stumbled across a survey from Blind that shows 28% of 4,400 tech workers surveyed plan to leave the Bay Area and 27% plan to leave the state. The latter is bad news for the state as these are some of our most productive citizens.

Patrick, that is true as far as the brain drain as it will first impact the housing market including rental REITs. Also, it will impact sales tax as they won't be spending in California on any good or services.

However, I know from firsthand experience that their income generated from "California sources" (ie., California based businesses) will still be taxed at the California income tax rate minus any amount that they may pay to their new state of record (i.e., Idaho, Arizona, etc.).

If they live in a state like Florida, then they would pay the full state income tax to California since Florida does not have an income tax.

That would better the conservative changes for the election as CA is lost anyways so they can bring some votes to swing states.
