    Default California

    Outbound moves: 54.4%

    California’s beachy, urban, outdoorsy lifestyles attract hardworking professionals and businesses that are ready to hustle. But the state's astronomical housing prices and high living costs often kill the dream.

    The top reasons people move out include jobs (41%), followed by family issues (25%) and retirement (22%).

    “Unlike a few decades ago, retirees are leaving California, instead choosing other states in the Pacific West and Mountain West," Michael Stoll, public policy economist at the University of California, Los Angeles, told United Van Lines.

    A CNBC study ranks California last in the nation for business friendliness and 49th out of the 50 states for cost of living.

    The economy of California is the largest in the United States, boasting a $3.0 trillion gross state product as of 2018. As a sovereign nation (2018), California would rank as the world's fifth largest economy, ahead of India and behind Germany.

    This country couldn't survive without CA economy.

    The thing is young people are going to continue to want to come here (at least for the foreseeable future). People want to go to LA and try and break into the entertainment industry. People want to come to Bay Area, work for a Facebook, Google or Apple or the next big tech start up to get rich. These folks are young and without family and they are willing to live five people in a two bedroom apartment because that's all they can afford.

    Once you start a family and realize you have to pay over $1m to get a small home then people start re-evaluating. Anyway, seen this through a couple of cycles now. A lot going on in Cali.

    Your assertion that California tax money pays for your welfare is correct

    Pretty close. And in several recent months production has exceeded consumption.

    So I am correct. We are not energy independent.
