I feel like most people are moving for taxes and lower COL.

The idea of people caring about "wokeness" is still something I can't really believe.

Not wokeness, exactly, but I've talked to a few that moved specifically because of California's response to Covid.

No they didn’t. Nobody just moves like that unless they’re stanky rich and have no worries.

This is just untrue. The cost of living in TN is so much lower that middle class California could afford a nice house here easily. But the people that I've met you have moved here are not super wealthy. They just owned a home in California that they could sell.

You forgot to add in- they have a job that makes them the same amount no matter where they are.

You mean remote or they just have trade skills?

You too can make a decent middle class living if you have a skill anywhere you go. None of the Californians I know are working remote.
