Joel Kotkin on the exodus from California

When I talk to my class, 36 kids, and I ask them, "How many of you are going to stay in California?" Four. That never would've happened twenty years ago. Why would anyone want to leave California? With great weather, beautiful topography, all sorts of culture, great food, all the stuff that is really unique to California. It takes policy genius of some diabolical sort to push people out of California.
