Thanks mostly to California's hostile regulatory climate, for every three new businesses that move into the state of California, about 100 move out.
My favorite example was when the Northern California Auto Club, our AAA affiliate, moved its backroom phone bank operations out of state. Doing so was entirely logical costwise, but embarrassing for an organization set up to service Californians and Nevadans.
Imagined Billboard: Will the last business to leave California please turn out the lights?
