A lot of the people moving from California are leaving to avoid the high
cost of living and high congestion.

I moved to California from Massachusetts, and I can assure you that anyone
complaining about smog certificates is simply whining.  In Massachusetts a
car is not only inspected for exhaust quality, but is also rejected if the
headlights aren't aligned, or if you have a hairline crack in your
windscreen, or if your tires don't show enough thread.  You can even be
rejected for having body rust-through.

This happens not every other year, but yearly.

Especially since we're all such nice folk.
