In another level: How many software developers are forgoing job offers in California due to it being a state with income tax?



The sensible ones will figure in the cost of living and tax level to see if the California high salaries are better.

NYC has also seen an exodus of wealthy taxpayers to Florida.


That's the wrong question. The correct question is, "If California increased income tax, how many software developers would leave for another jurisdiction that did not increase income tax, and would the total tax taken from all software developers in California be higher or lower after?". There are also moral questions.
