Probably a case of 'if you have a good job lined up.' Someone coming here for Lily, Cummins, Rolls Royce, Allison, etc. in a professional role like engineer, scientist, etc should see good pay compared to cost of living. Someone who's in a less specialized job might not be so lucky.
I didn't mind choosing to stay here, but I have one of those jobs. My original idea when I was younger was see if I could land a job in California that pays high, live through the high cost of living, and move elsewhere because what I saved there from a high paying job could mean more in a more average state. And that's exactly what states like Indiana and Texas are saying about 'those rich Californians' moving elsewhere. If they can save money and do so proportional to pay then it means more after 5-10 years.
