Texas Attracted California Techies. Now It’s Losing Thousands of Them.

The Tesla layoffs aren't surprising as that's just part of an economic cycle but how the hell is Oracle moving it's headquarters after four years?

Move in, raise prices for everyone, leave

Why is it like that?

Not surprisingly, some of the Californians who moved here during the pandemic realized they had traded Edenic weather for 110-degree summers and no income tax, and they decided that the income tax wasn’t that bad.

This article isn’t doing what they think it is. The transplants moving back home, will make everything cheaper again for the natives. This isn’t a bad thing. Let everyone go back home to Oakland, Inglewood, Long Beach, etc.

Prices? Go down?

The majority of the "inflation" we're all dealing with is straight up corporate price gouging to increase profit margins

home insurance rates are up and property taxes keeps increasing, landlords aren't gonna make anything cheaper.

their stated reason is nearly $250 million in tax breaks in the other state, I don't buy it.

Austin is wack.

Why is it like that?

These people are insane quite frankly, besides money and their jobs they don’t really have much of a spirit so they don’t understand working for constant growth means infinite costs so no matter where they go the cost of living has to be expensive because their entire lifestyle is based around high expenses

Bingo!

Plus most of these transplants are actually conservatives from California, Illinois, New York etc. Young native Texans are tired of the GOP but the transplants are keeping this state red, when it really is closer to being a purple/battleground state.

Them leaving isn’t going to hurt all that much.

People complain about taxes but quality of life seems drastically worse in a lot of these red states.

“Such a fukkin waste man, Texas is such a wasteland”

Not really. Once they know people are willing to pay it they’ll keep the prices high

California is losing ppl. You don’t see the prices going down ..

Time and time again yall are convinced your fellow neighbor is the cause of your plight, and not the government and greedy businessmen. In this case landlords.

It don’t matter if a million Californias moved to Texas a year, no one forced anyone to increase the price of rent and housing.
