Your point is well taken, but if those moving to California overwhelmed the number leaving would not the rates be reversed for the same reason you proposed?

They'll probably come flooding back in after the next Rose Bowl game, as they huddle in their cold dreary towns and watch us out in the sunshine under blue skies watching football outside on New Years Day, without even a sweater.

My point is that the California intrastate business is so large that the interstate business might be relativly unimportant.

There are probably a whole lot more folks moving between LA and SF (or within LA) than LA and LV. A truck that sits in LV for only a day or two could have easily been rented in California. It wouldn't matter what the LA/LV balance was. If there is more money to be made with capital residing in California you will make taking the capital out of California less attractive (more costly) to the renter.
