That’s only a tiny minority. Most retirees are fleeing CA due to inflation, cost of living, homelessness, and most importantly, the increase of and being soft on crime. This trend in treatment of crime is also occurring in major cities across the US such as NY, Chicago, DC Metro, Baltimore, Portland, and Seattle.Also, it seems that more people are fleeing states like, say CA, in favor of places "in the dark" like FL than the other way around.
These large metropolises are heading in the opposite direction whereas they have less and less control over criminal activities. This is a conflicting trend of dystopian sci fi concepts such as 1984, Minority Report, and Demolition Man (based on Brave New World where only those receptive to conditioning live in a bland utopian society). The concept of these movies is the use of assimilation through the monitoring of the population.
While perhaps individuals may suggest solutions to lead us down the path of monitoring, it won’t even start in any of our lifetimes.
