California is one of the net [domestic] migration OUT states. I'd argue the weather here is significantly better than Florida.

So I'd argue it's much more related to taxes and business climate than weather.
Okay, I'll let the millions of retirees know.
Arizona, Texas, and Vegas (NV) are all high on the list, so the real reason people are moving to anywhere and away from anywhere is
1. Taxes
2. Taxes
3. Taxes
4. Weather

I'd agree with that.

I'd say it's also more than taxes; it's general cost of living (real estate, gas prices, food prices, etc). Which is bad in CA too. 

I do think weather is important, but all those things are more important.

I was led to believe DeSantis is the reason people are flocking to FL in droves, as if they haven't been for 20 years now.  But I'm probably wrong again.

I do wonder if the tax laws will change in Florida as the % of population from the Northeast continues to climb...

Floridians do NOT like those people. I'm a newly minted Floridian, escaping taxes and high cost of living. I'll certainly enjoy the winter months more than Illinois, for sure.

I picked Florida for two reasons. Lower taxes/costs and plenty of blue water to boat on (which I do have here for half a year).

PSA -- Every house should have some PBW (powdered brewery wash) on hand.

I ordered my wife new mixing bowls because she found herself exceeding capacity on the 5.5 qt bowls we had. So I ordered 8 qt and 12 qt stainless bowls.

The 12 qt arrived yesterday, and the little product placard was attached by some of the toughest glue I've ever encountered. Tried a soak in hot soapy water and scrubbing both with a sponge and with a ringmail scrubber I use for cast iron. No luck. Tried isopropyl alcohol. No luck. Tried the hot soapy water again. No luck.

This morning I let it soak in hot water & PBW for about an hour, and then went at it with the sponge, and it cleaned right up nicely.

It now officially IMHO makes the "miracle fix" list:

  • If it moves and shouldn't: duct tape.
  • If it doesn't move and should: WD-40.
  • If it's dirty and won't come clean: PBW.

Seriously, pick some up. It's one of the best cleaners for stainless steel I've ever used.

I wonder the same thing in Texico, although it's more a case of Californians, rather than folks from the NE, that are moving here.

Cali folk are screwing up Arizona, Nevada and Idaho too.

Not a factor, but I did make sure I can get BTN for 2021, when football starts up again.

Weather was a primary concern for me, but not to the point I wanted to deal with California or Hawaii taxation.  Atlanta sales tax is 9% which is a bite.  We started going to a different Costco to save a few pennies on that rate as we usually spend $400 or so each trip.

We just went this morning, had a nice lunch at a beautiful place on the river, first time there.
