You call that an article? Lol.

Anyway, I (sincerely) hope half of California moves ... to Texas or anyplace else.

The one thing people who relocate aren't prepared for is the big increase in property tax and insurance.

Home prices are enticingly low for what you get. But taxes are 3x what you'd pay in a state with income tax. Then homeowner's insurance is also a consideration. When we lived in Texas our insurance was high due to mold, floods and hurricanes. So even if you paid cash for a $450k house your taxes and insurance would still be around $1100 a month. This is fine if you have no state income tax but it's tough if you are not working.

People who would be comfortable moving to Texas are not the people I would miss.

No. Non-refundable transfer.

Once they leave most wouldn’t be able to afford return anyway. Especially since most who leave are lower income.

Enjoy.

I’ll stay behind and sweep up.

What do you think it takes to be "comfortable with moving to Texas"?

I am not (teasing).

And I don’t hate Californians either ... there’s just too damn many of ‘em. Double since I arrived.

Dallas, not Austin, is actually the biggest recipient of Californians in Texas. Especially the suburbs north of Dallas.
