...Also SF already the car break in champion saw a 700% plus increase in car break ins over the last year(look at related stories in op article)

You should be careful not to cherry-pick your news. The increase is limited to tourist spots, aka Central District of the city: SF sees 753% increase in car break-ins in tourist areas

On a car tour of the PNW when we first retired, our SUV was targeted in Portland, OR. Tourist or rental license plates make easy odds for ID'ing a lucrative theft.

It might interest people to know that in every study done over the last 20 years, the people moving OUT of CA on average are less well educated and earn less than the people moving INTO California.

I would be interested in knowing how many of these, allegedly less well educated, people leaving California were native Californians to begin with? I only ask because it's been my experience that native Californians were better educated than those folks in other states---with the exception of Oregon, Washington, and some of those states in the northeast. Also, having met large numbers of Americans from other states, I have found them, as a general rule, to be far less knowledgeable of the outside world than Californians---with few of them speaking even one foreign language.
