2/3rd of friends who expected better lifestyle in TX than CA are returning after experiencing 1 year of hot/humid seasons, boring outside activities, poor infrastructure and lack of opportunities like CA.. there’s a news post recently that CA is getting an influx of residents from TX - sell you properties there and come soon before it gets worse!!
I’m a native austinite moving to bay next year. Very excited. Owning a home is stressful and overrated
Austin the only decent place in Texas. Everyone else has it far worse than you.
Austin is terrible. I grew up in Texas have family still in taxes all lived in Austin all got the hell out of there because of crime and rising costs of everything including housing. Austin is a liberal hell hole. The amount of sexual assaults and rape cases has skyrocketed over the last four years
A reporter’s formula that got us this story: 1. Look for ANY uptick of ANYTHING in raw data 2. Find someone, ANYONE, whose story is consistent with that data (one data point is always good enough) 3. Report it as an insight extrapolated to the rest of the data set 4. Nevermind any countermetrics. The number one rule of bad journalism is that countermetrics always ruin the story.

Bingo
Cali is a shi t hole. Enjoy Newsom 🤣
Its better than TX. Women get freedom of choice for their bodies.
Except if they are attacked by someone who is drugged up.
Texas is boring AF. There’s nothing to do except eat and pool gatherings.
You're right In Cali you can dodge meth heads and going camping with the homeless. Now you have fun parades/riots!!! 🤡
Don’t worry. Some Chinese head of state will visit and it’ll be Disneyland all over again for 2 days.
🤣
What kind of poor infrastructure?
I35 xD
The houses and infrastructure in Dallas is really good if someone is into indoor activity
if indoor activity is all you want nothing beats kansas
Don't all the pipes burst since the houses are uninsulated in the yearly freeze that Texas now gets due to climate change?
The type of people who don’t like Texas and who say these things are always the same people who never go outdoors and spend all their free time in front of a screen.
Yeah, these people view the city parks as 'outdoor spaces' 😂. The homeless are practically wildlife to them, just a creature in their natural habitat.
Texas some some of the worst outdoors activities of any state. 95% of the land is privately owned so anything opened to the public is very crowded Hot as shit for 4+ months out of the year Long drives to do anything interest because most nearby land has been converted to cheap shitty housing Flat AF very little diversity in terrain and biomes
Disagree. Just left ca. no plans to come back
Enjoy the hot and humid weather, you're going backwards in life
but net worth will grow superfast
It’s not for everyone but the numbers going out and staying far outweigh the ones coming back.
Probably because they can’t afford to come back? It’s expensive as shit here.
I know I was there and left.
