Now that you mention it…I’ve never met someone from CA who has ever moved back.

I’m not from here, but I did once move here for a year, leave for about 1 1/2 years and then was able to come back the 2nd time. That was 20 years ago. I do recall that second move being so much harder than the first move here. Must’ve broken some major hexes or something.
Bitcoiners will be the few that can do it because they can outpace the wild increase in cost of living. But then again a bitcoiner who has left probably wouldn’t want to part with more bitcoin knowing they can love for a whole lot cheaper elsewhere.
