My issue with CA is that the cost are phenomenally high. How does ANYBODY who is upper middle and lower liberal in that state.


Many areas of California is fairly reasonable cost to live. The further from the coast the more reasonable all things considered.

Texas’s right wing tax laws are what is driving people to move there.

I hope they don’t try to “Californicate” it.

The friends I have that have moved from Calif to Texas were all successful and republican.
Didn't like the taxes in Calif nor the liberal govt and had the ability to work from where ever they wanted so they packed up and left.

Is there any actual proof Californians are coming to Texas and making it a Democrat state?


Not really, based on 15 years of living in Texas. The Texas legislature has shown many times, if a district is close to going democrat, they have no problem redrawing the lines to make sure it stays republican.

I haven't seen any particular evidence that these Californians are turning the dial democrat. My town of Round Rock in Williamson County has been one of the epicenters of California relocation. This county is as republican as it has ever been. Most of the Californians I know in my neighborhood are middle class family people who have fallen in line with the areas political leanings.

Maybe people tend to complain less when you have good schools, good quality of life, safe streets, and lots of economic activity.

I dont think the article is saying that some productive people didn't leave CA as well. It's just that the larger percentage of people leaving are typically lower middle or below.

Taxation can be a deciding factor for upper income people, but its not the same as just not being able to have reasonable living without spending everything. The exodus from CA is definitely not your Silicon Valley crowd per se.

I wish they would stay away. They're driving up the cost of homes in the hill country and are supporting the same policies that caused them to leave California.

Screw tx (all of the south) and their absolutely horrid pro Christianity bill boards.
They are all awful.

"Heaven or HEELLL - you chosse"
Kiss my arse.
Conservative states make me sick sometimes !
Go back to the 1940's you old fools

Same goes for these cheesey anti abortion and anti drug propaganda garbage...

Lost the drug war and abortion is a right !
Glad some of these ideologies are retreating back to the south..

Main problem is with these awful signs though.
