California, Watch Us Leave!:
"A popular Al Jolson song when your grandparents were young began, “California here we come, right back where we started from.” For many of that generation, California was a land of golden opportunity, a destination for the “Okies” whose farms had succumbed to a long drought in the 1930s, and for all manner of people who saw it as a place to make a life and maybe even a fortune for themselves.
Now it’s a place that many are increasingly leaving. Between 2004 and 2008, more than a half million Californians left and for good reason."
