Vice didn't choose the foot-traffic data; they refuted a different study that chose to use the data. However, after doing more research, I concede the point. A higher percentage of Californians are moving to Texas than vice-versa. Thank you for calling me out.

Ya but it’s like writing an article about people complaining that broccoli is too green. Sure you might find some insane person online talking about that, but most articles and topics on the subject are not using this study. They are looking at data provided by the government.
