I know several that have left for Texas. I know one that left for Michigan. One that left for San Diego. A few that left for Seattle. So it’s very real. Whether or not it moves the needle though is the bigger question. I myself would never move unless some sort of environmental catastrophe hit it, like forest fires or no more water which is actually a possibility.

You do know that San Diego is in California, right?

There's also one in Texas

Anecdotes are not statistical facts. Did you read the story? It clearly shows that statistically, no, it's not real.

There could be interesting trends around subgroups that aren't obvious from population-level stats.
