Spot on. Seen too many colleagues pack up for lower tax states, taking their equity and talent with them.

Anecdotal, of course. Which states they going to? Do they compare to CA?

  • Idaho. No. Idaho has almost the worst per-capita GDP in the country but California dollars go a long way there, although not as far as they used to. Californians also like to use the phrase “don’t Califonicate Idaho”, because high wages there would ruin their lifestyle, which is paid for by their California dollars.
