That's not to say that it's a good thing to force lower-income people out, of course.

Re: the "exodus" half of that, looks like they define "middle income" as about $51k - $138k, so that probably accounts for some of the confusion in terms of "rich people are moving out of California", especially for those of us living in a state where we see Californians buying up relatively expensive houses and helping jack up housing costs..

Of course $100k goes a lot further once you move out of CA, but it's also not McDonald's salary for CA, either.

They probably should have broken down that range a bit to get a better idea in terms of income out, IMO.
