I wouldn't call this move "Greed" although a nice buzz word for some. Businesses need an environment to thrive they can't and will not stay in an area that hinders growth. It would just be stupid to stay at a location that cost you and your employees so much more to live and operate. I live in Cal so I know how high all the cost are climbing. I love the state that I was born and raised in but the bureaucracy is even pushing me out of here.
"Two dozen California companies have said they are tired of the business-bashing in Sacramento, along with the high taxes."
“I tracked for 2011, that 254 companies of all sizes and shapes and kinds left the state for primarily other states,” said Vranich, the president of Spectrum Location Services in Irvine.
He told KCRA 3 that companies leave California for three primary reasons:
“High taxes, excessive regulations and the threat of really ridiculous lawsuits.”
