California is literally at dead last with some of the nicest land and weather in the country.
Texas by population is the second largest state after California, and California has the largest economy of any state. of course lots of Texans move to California.
Way the fuck more Californians are still moving to Texas, genuinelyunsure how this is remotely news, or “not the onion” worthy.
I feel like we’re moving into a ‘fortress’ mindset, where people are moving to locations that best suit their own beliefs and perspectives.
In short, people who are okay with diversity and other liberal ideals are making an effort to live somewhere where that’s appreciated. And people who are more in line with whatever Texas is doing are moving there.
I read that a large number of highly educated people are leaving Texas
I assume that Texas has so many educated people per capital that it is exporting them to other states where liberal laws and high school taxes are depressing educational achievement.
As a Californian, I get it. Both from the “Man…there must be a better place to live with no wildfires and lower housing costs!” to the “Man…there is really is no place better and now everything is burning so it doesn’t really matter where you go.”
I for one, welcome you back, we may end up needing the extra soldiers during the civil war anyways.
When Texas sends its people, they’re not sending their best. They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.
For many people, the taxes were higher in Texas. Combine that with the weather and political climate and many people just don’t want to be there anymore.

A lot of people who moved to Austin, Houston and Dallas for tech are now moving back due to layoffs, weather and generalized political shithousery

The net migration is still to Texas and away from California, it’s just that the total has gotten smaller recently.
