Exiting Texas...

[RoryN]

People are leaving Texas over rising costs, partisan politics, and a sense of disenchantment​

Nick Thomas, 30, moved to Austin from downtown Los Angeles in January 2021 and told Business Insider in August he hoped to move back to California soon. He called Austin is a "watered-down" version of places he's previously lived like Los Angeles and San Francisco.

Republicans are the Party of buyer's remorse.

Though they’ll NEVER admit it.

They're too brainwashed. Hating democrats is now indoctrinated into their psyche. It's pretty much the majority of their philosophical makeup.

The majority of them would vote for and support a republican pedo over a moderate democrat. That tells me a lot about the party and the level of malevolence they live by.

People move to Texas because it doesn't have a state individual income tax. They think they will be better off. But then they look at what the state offers in terms of benefits...nothing...and they realize they were much better off elsewhere. Living in a civilized society...costs money...and you have to collect that cost from some tax somewhere. No state income tax...that leaves property and sales taxes. In the case of Texas...their property taxes are reasonable. But second highest sales tax in the nation.

States that rely solely on sales taxes for funding are susceptible to fluctuations in the economy. When inflation rises...people buy less. Revenue for the state decreases. When you have something like Covid...spending decreases...revenue decreases. Not rocket science.

The state where people own their own generators to cope with winter power cuts, where they go somewhere decent like Mexico for vacation.

And where women seeking abortions must have the resources to travel to another state.

Texas has experienced a net gain because people arriving exceed people leaving, but Austin is definitely getting crowded, expensive, and is solidly blue.

I doubt it's much more expensive than Austin at this point.

LOS ANGELES - A new relocation trend emerging in the U.S. may surprise you.

New data from the U.S. Census Bureau shows more Texans are moving to California in record numbers.

So when the Texas immigrants start bitching and moaning about gay pride parades, drag queens reading to children, stricter gun regulations, women's autonomy over their bodies, education that slavery was bad and that the Confederacy lost, and a general atmosphere of wokeness...

Can't Californians rightly tell them to go back where they came from?

I could give a good shit which state residents move where. Just stay the hell south of 45 latitude and east of 117 longitude I'll be happier than a clam in mud.

LOS ANGELES - A new relocation trend emerging in the U.S. may surprise you.

New data from the U.S. Census Bureau shows more Texans are moving to California in record numbers.

“However, it's still less than half the number of Californians who settled in Texas during the same time, showing that Texas is still a top destination for those relocating from California”
