    Default Californians aren’t Fleeing.

    Don’t Believe the Tales of Gloom.

    When it comes to retaining native sons and daughters, California has the fifth-strongest attraction of all 50 states. Among California-born adults who were at least 25 years of age and old enough to have moved away, fully 66.9 percent were still choosing to reside in the Golden State in 2007, the last year of high migration before the recession held people down. Texas, with 75.1 percent of native Texans still living in the state, has the strongest loyalty, and the other three rounding out the top five are Wisconsin, North Carolina, and Georgia. California’s top-five ranking is all the more impressive when you take into account the state’s high living costs and other negatives. We must have something going for us.

    That's because they are still living with mom and dad, the economy has them trapped.

    This is like hearing that your tumor hasn't metastasized.

    But the difference between Cali in 2007 and 2009 is large.

    I would be looong gone if I hadn't landed a nice job working for the NAVY. even then my position might be transferred to another state in the next few years, and if it does then I'll be going with it.
