A bunch of people I know have moved out of the State. Mostly because housing here is completely unaffordable for an average couple. And it is doable in other states.
Unaffordable relative to wages. Even though you make more in California, you don't make enough more.
This is not just California. I live in Washington and wouldn't have been able to afford my house if I was buying today. Inflation + interest rates + price jumps.
Even in Austin my 200k house from 2007 is 4x the price today.
