Can you point to reputable studies showing that in fact the primary reason for people leaving California is taxes? Except for 4 years when I was a kid (lived in a suburb of Cleveland) I've spent my whole life living in the East Coast. I'd never move to California, but not due to taxes. Earthquakes, fires, floods, mudslides are enough to dissuade me.

and doesn't require much time to locate multiple sources. Here's one from UC Berkeley .
"The high cost of housing (71%) is the most common reason givenby voters for wanting to leave California. However, hightaxes (58%) and the state's political culture (46%) are also prominently mentioned,particularly by Republicans and conservatives."
And another from Hoover :
"The reason? Economics, plain and simple. California is too expensive, and its taxes and regulations are too high. The Tax Foundation ranks California 48th in terms of business climate. California is also ranked 48th in terms of regulatory burdens. And California's cost of living is 50 percent higher than the national average."
Nice places to visit periodically, but...
he's been trying to build a small shed and put some solar panels in for his house somewhere in LA. Maher has been talking how absurd the regulations are in Cal. and has been displaying on his show about how long its taking to get approval for his solar. As of last Friday its been 1089 days and he still does not have permission to install his solar. He showed a pic of a small shed on his property that took 3 years to get approved. Apparently amazingly stupid shit goes on in Cal.

I didn't have any delays due to regulations when I had solar panels put on our house, nor do I know anybody who did. The whole process was very smooth in fact. OTOH, I don't doubt that old entitled Bill may have had some trouble with approvals.

Not surprised by his experience.
Not to mention that California is reported to be the 5th largest economy in the world, if it is compared to countries. And, not to forget, like 40,000,000 people reside in California. Oh, it is reported that California produces 13% of the nations agricultural receipts. It's a brutal 53 degrees F where I'm at near SF, so nothing's perfect.
