Oracle announced they are moving their HQ to Texas. HPE and Tesla are also going to Texas.
Will the other companies follow?
Would you move out of California to Texas?

  • They are moving their Headquarters, not their operations. Tesla and oracle are still in the bay. Remote work is very unlikely to be the norm, neither workers or businesses want it and when once reopen workers will want it even less. Stoked for the folks that do want it and are ok with the tradeoffs but the majority will flock back. Human nature won't change due to a pandemic imho.

      I don’t think so. Not in droves anyway. Maybe more these days, but I think there’s plenty out there and always will be.

      Nice part about them moving or starting elsewhere is more opportunity for people not interested in going there, oh and remote :D

    Texas: 3000 sq ft 4 br house with a pool on a golf course = $300k

    California: 900 sq ft 2 br shack in a slum = $1.3m

    It’s not a hard choice. Not for me anyway.

      You all are missing out on Oakland, but you're probably scared of the reputation which is one of the best poseur deterrents around.

    It’s just the non innovating legacy companies. Also Larry is a trump supporter, so he needs to go anyway.
