Rather California’s bludgeoning tax structure, severe regulatory environment, and other MAJOR economic burdens ARE the proximate causes for the exodus.

That said, the California Supreme Court should clean up the application of the parole evidence rule to foster certainty, rather than ambiguity in contractual relations.
