> Do you really think driving people with money out of your state will actually be good for you and the state?
If your state is selling 500sqft condos for $3,000 a month, then yes, it probably would increase the average quality-of-life for that state's residents.
Wealthy people won’t be driven out of the state. There is a reason why California, Washington, Oregon and the northeastern United States are doing well in comparison to the great middle it’s the total package.
Geography, post-secondary education, relative openness/acceptance/tolerance towards people who are different, religion, race, ethnic group etc.
The best decision my parents made was leaving Tennessee and Texas and coming to California thank you.
