If living with immigrants from Mexico and points south is bothering you, you should not move to Texas.... or Arizona or New Mexico. And remember that, although people argue about how real it is, Austin still calls itself a sanctuary city.

I'm also from CA, and we moved to Austin last year. Judging from your post I think you might be happier in Houston or Dallas if you decided to move to Texas. We call Austin the Berkeley of Texas, otherwise I don't think I could have moved here. Austin, in my opinion is a fairly liberal city. As one poster said, you might be happier in the northern part of the country.

i would like to respond to in the cut comment about people leaving calif because they can no longer afford to live here. that may be the case with some but for the most part people are leaving because they do not like what is happening here.gov. is corrupt, mexicans have taken over,people are lazy and do not want to work because the gov. here hands out plenty. we are going to leave calif also and we CAN afford to live here. i will retire next year frim my job.my husband is retired from the marine corp after 22 yrs.and have a really good job of almost 12 yrs. we have just had enough of the these unamerican,unpatriotic ungrateful cry-babies here.so yes,some of us can still afford to live here but do not like what has happened here and we can afford to move.

We could afford to live in California but we moved to Austin last year for family reasons. I have to say that I disagree with just about everything you said in this post. I believe I am the same person I was when I lived there, and I am not an "unamerican, unpatriotic, ungrateful cry-baby," and I didn't live on hand-outs. Your comments are offensive and racist, and I doubt that Austin is the place for you (I hope not.)
