I know the market is red hot and sellers can be very selective in regards to terms.

but if you think it's a good trend that tech companies are saying "we are leaving California" along with many high profile rich people, you're crazy.How about this, because I'm curious:  Why do you think the various sites that tract this stuff (let's use the U-Haul one way data) show CA cities being so highly represented in the top 10 places people are leaving and various red areas as the top 10 areas they're going to?
