People move from blue states because a lot of blue state cities have become shitty places to live for everyone but the uppermost economic strata. From Charles Hugh Smith at oftwominds.com:
Simply put, people are moving not just to escape unaffordable housing and high taxes. They’re moving to escape fiscally irresponsible, ineffective, unaccountable governance.
Defenders of high state taxes like to point out that surveys find few high-net-worth households move primarily to lower their tax bills.
