From 2004 through 2007, about 275,000 Californians left the Golden State for the old Dust Bowl states of Oklahoma and Texas, twice the number that left those two states for California, recent Internal Revenue Service figures show. In fact, the mid-South gained more residents from California during those four years than either Oregon, Nevada or Arizona. The trend continued into 2008.

As a result, it's easy to find Californians – even former Sacramentans – living and working in Oklahoma City, a capital of the American heartland.

hmm....lets see...much lower cost of living? check

Much safer:wink2: place to raise children? check

Can't say I haven't tried to convince my husband to move before....but he has this fear of humidity. Maybe I'll convince him yet. If anyone has any ideas let me know. :wink:
