Toyota U.S. Sales Office moving to TX, away from CA

Toyota Motor Corp is moving substantial parts of its U.S. headquarters in Torrance, California, to suburban Dallas as the world’s largest automaker seeks savings from its U.S. sales unit, said people familiar with the matter.
The surprise move is a blow to the Golden State, the biggest U.S. auto market and proponent of the strictest clean-air rules. Toyota’s Prius hybrid has been California’s top-selling model for the past two years and helped secure a leading 22 percent market share. It also represents a victory for Texas Governor Rick Perry, who’s made repeated visits to California to lure businesses to his state with promises of lower taxes and easier regulations.
Toyota City, Japan-based Toyota may base its new regional sales headquarters in or near Plano, Texas, said three of the people who asked not to be named as the plan isn’t yet public. The majority of Toyota’s Torrance operations may move to Texas over a two-year period, the people said.

I wonder if the workers in TX will be unionized?

I live in a very fast growing area of Frisco with booming new construction. I've been impressed with how many California transplants aren't crazy liberals. I have a theory that the hard core left wouldn't move to DFW from California for anything. I really hope it proves true.

So this along with Tesla likely picking Texas for their battery operations???
That would be 7k jobs and lots of $$$

They actually think the problem wasn't liberal policies, but that they weren't implemented properly
A lot of people also vote strictly on social issues, even when they flee a state for economic reasons.
"I left California and moved to Texas because of the high taxes, regulation and high cost of living. But I just have to vote for the democrat, because he is pro-choice."

No they won't. Been hearing this same goofy shite for a long time.
A true liberal doesn't want to leave their utopia state to go to a place like Texas.
Let them stay and rot and CA. TX is not changing anytime soon.

California has a large Republican base outside of the major cities. They are the ones fleeing the state..they feel they have no say so in the politics and are getting hurt by the policies as a result.

Probably true. My grandparents left the Bay Area, and moved to The Colony. But he was a Southern Baptist preacher.
