Sure, North is filling in but there's still plenty of room west of Fort Worth, south of I-20, and east of Rockwall...

If the office is in Plano, west of Fort Worth is a heck of a commute. And pretty far from the Dallas nightlife

Great...training is available. I never said there wasn't. But when exactly do they take it since they are working two jobs?

I can tell you that Texans will love them at first when the house they paid $100K for is snapped up for half a million by a Californian who thinks he's getting a steal. Then, when they find their dream house that cost $250k is now going for $2.5 millon, they won't like them as much. Conversely, when Californians realize that it's an 8 hour drive to a beach or a plane ride to the mountains...they'll become homesick. Add to that, many of them though it was a heat wave when temps hit 80 degrees "back home"....they are gonna love a month of 100+ degree days. Also, from what I've read, Salaries may drop for those folks moving to align more with the Lone Star State.

I'm sure there is some property next to a porn shop and massage parlor that one could buy a lot a build a house.

Have you talked to a therapist about all of these fantasy doom and gloom scenarios?

Do you know why houses cost so much in California? People wanted to live there. So if they all flock to Texas...it's going to impact their housing prices. That's called "the market" How long will it last? I'm not sure. Those Californians like the mountains...there aren't any in Dallas, Houston, San Antonio or Austin. Their idea of a "hot" day is when it hits 80. I think July thru September might be hard on them. There isn't an ocean nearby. There's a lot of things they'd be giving up in return for no state income tax. Some might adapt.

I am sure housing costs will go up. However that does not mean someone is going to pay 500K for a house that has a current market value of 100K. That is just absurd.

Not my problem.

Gulf of Mexico.

Yes, I am sure they will miss that toxic, over regulated, over taxed, leftist cesspool.

We have people of all races and many countries here Bears so I honestly don't know what the hell you are talking about. One of my friends in high school was half Japanese and half Eskimo. My old crew chief was from Cuba. One of my old co workers was from France. My wife's family friend immigrated from Germany. We have a large American Indian presence here, I used to live in an area called "Little Mexico", I used to work at a bakery that had a large Chinese presence so again..... wtf are you talking about Bears?

Recognize this actress?

She is from Oklahoma City.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olivia_Munn
Lisa Olivia Munn was born in Oklahoma City July 3, 1980 to Kimberly (née Nguyen) and Winston Munn. Her father is of German, Irish, and English ancestry while her mother is from Vietnam of Chinese descent.

That cosmopolitan enough for you Bears?

Listen to LaLa, Bears. He has a lifetime subscription to Cosmopolitan.

Watch the housing. You might be surprised. Especially with these low interest rates.

The Gulf of Mexico is great, but unless you want to swim in the Houston ship channel, it's a 4 hour drive to the beach...and Houston is the closest to the Gulf. And a plane ride to the mountains. Lifestyle matters.

What will happen is this - those formerly overtaxed leftist cesspool dwellers are going to want things to be like they were in California. As more and more move in - demographics change. And a LOT of the imports voted blue in California - despite the overtaxed leftist cesspool. That translates into what is how demographics change.

Why are they leaving these democratic utopian enclaves?

 

[Dog Wonder]

Missionaries out to save the country.

 

[KCFlyer]

Why are they leaving these democratic utopian enclaves?

I guess because their employer moved. This is kind of new this year. Let them experience a Texas summer and see if they think the tradeoff is worth it. What they save in taxes they make up for in an electric bill.

The grass is always greener on the other side. I've lived on the other side. If you are used to temps in the 70's and the ocean or mountains an hour away...at some point you are going to wake up on a muggy 80 degree morning, sweat while heading into the office, staying inside at lunch because it's 98 degrees outside, but on the pavement it's 105...wanting to get away but having to get on a plane to do it...some folks might find that it wasn't worth no income tax.

every person I talk to about why Texas is so great they don't mention the climate as much as they do the people. They say the people make it a friendly welcoming place to live. I have family there and agree but I prefer the Northwest for the outdoors and beauty and I have learned to tolerate the liberal government.
