I guess the real question (in terms of stats) is: how many people = a 'drove'. lol
I saw an article that said (in 2011) 100,000 more people moved out of CA than moved in. In a state with 37,000,000 people, does that count as a drove? Droves?
The tax thing is a red herring. It's cost of living. The 3 states seeing the greatest number of CA transplants (TX, AZ, NV) all have
dramatically lower costs of living. Check this out:

half that of San Francisco.
That's because of taxes? Yeah right. Try housing cost, for starts.
