Going from coastal CA to inland CA is a distinct step down. There is no denying it. But if you move to AZ or TX, you can tell yourself that you are "escaping" high taxes or wokeness or whatever. It's an easier pill to swallow.

I would imagine some of the "bat-shit" crazy politics in those two states, especially around abortion/women health issues, are certainly giving some people in California pause regarding moving to Texas and Arizona.
