>I'm just wondering: what is Denver's message
"I made my money, screw you"
It's like the Florida or Vermont of the west only it's SV types who cash out and move there to raise kids or retire instead of the Wall St crowd.

I now live in a state where I pay lower taxes and that provides more and better services than California. In fact, I can't think of a single thing California does better. I'm happy to pay my taxes here as this state's government does a much better job with the tax revenue they do collect.
Sadly, as more Californians come to my state, they are supporting a lot of the same bad policy decisions that were well-intentioned but ultimately ended up becoming problematic in California.
Kinda funny (in a sad sort of way) that in a thread about California people assume that "I've made my money, screw you" is about dodging taxes because that implies things about where the Overton window is in CA and is illustrative about why people might not like a bunch of Californians with enough money to matter (the last part being key) showing up over a couple decades.
However, you can't deny or bemoan the freedom of others to do the same as you did, and to be political in the same way.
