Another group of Californians staying there are those who are comfortably settled there. I have a good friend who is a high-level programmer with a nice 6-figure salary, in an LA suburb. They have a beautiful home on a beautiful street with manicured yards, palm trees, huge swimming pools, big covered patios looking out over the mountains, etc. They live a good life, completely insulated from all the California crap we read about. They like living in California "because they have many laws protecting consumers." I asked him about all the stuff I'm reading about people leaving, etc. and he just shrugs.
