I made the move. It depends on the person if you regret it or not. I personally do not. By the way you can find Tracy carbon copied many times over in Texas. Nothing special in my opinion.

Any of the big cities in Texas really. Dallas, Austin, Houston, or San Antonio. All doing economically sound at this point. I don't like to throw it in Californians faces but we are doing very well at the moment and we are not broke. So it's a benefit of living here at the moment. You may tire of the culture, but all 4 cities have a distinct flavor and culture and rich history.

I've lived in Wylie Texas (east of Dallas) and now in Tracy... let me put it this way, if you are Baptist or Pentecostal, hate gays, hate people with dark skin, ho high school diploma, work in manufacturing or oil, stay in Houston... if you have a college degree, you lke diversity, don't look don't your nose at anyone that isn't white and Christian, then you will like Tracy. You will have to commute for work, that is the only downside. (Btw I am Christian, but I disagree with Christian hypocrites.)

I agree with you that your economy is better, and if someone doesn't have a college degree, they may be better off in Texas. However, if you have a degree in engineering of some sort, live within commuting distance to the South Bay, you will make much more here, and be much more prosperous building your retirement. I worked for NEC in Irving Texas, and doing the same job at the same time as NEC in South Bay, made alot less. The reason your economy is better though is you have no social services. If anyone plans on being old, sick, out of work, they are better off in California. In Texas you will end up on the street. My biggest problem with Texas Christians is they are pro-life (which I am too) and yell and scream at abortion clinics and in parades around the highway that women should keep their babies (which I believe too) but then totally abandon the young mother after birth. That is a hypocrite. If you talk a woman into keeping her unborn baby you (you meaning Christians) better support social service programs that will help her feed, cloth, and care for her baby, and also help her get job skills so she can get off welfare and make a decent living. California is much better than Texas at that, and that is why California is broke. Still I wouldn't live anywhere else. When I see those abortion protesters in Texas I want to go up to them and say "Really? how do you expect an unwed mother with no social sevices to raise her baby?"
