They already pay in Common Area Maintenance charges. Everything the mall provides is reimbursed plus 15% typically by the tenants. No free lunch there.

Malls have kicked the can down the road too long. Many more will close. They needed to reinvent themselves years ago.

Thought of this post tonight as I read about the HP HQ relo from California to Texas.

I can't recall the last relo of substance (high paying, high quality, and enormous quantity of jobs) where Ct was the recipient of a corp relocating.

The problem in Texas is how many newly arriving people are going to vote for things that are the opposite of why Texas is an attractive location.

Voting has nothing to do with why Texas is or not attractive . Low taxes along with plenty of open space. Weather and accessibility to major ports are just some of the reasons.

As a predominantly Republican state, Texas has no income tax and enjoyed a low cost of living. Also the most conservative rules on home equity loan rules. This is believed to have kept defaults down in the last R.E crash.

The point made above is many of the folks fleeing higher costs states such as California bring with the same ideals that made their state so expensive in the first place. They can't grasp cause and effect. Kind of like locusts who must move on to greener pastures after consuming everything in its path.....

Hence Texas is turning Blue, and they will vote for the very things that made Cali so expensive....

Its actually HP Enterprises which is moving. A distinction from HP Inc which is still staying in Silicon Valley. (HP Inc would be the more "classic HP" when you think about HP) Both HP were the same company until splitting maybe 4 years ago now? I was at old HP when it happened and was with HP Enterprises when they split for a week before i jumped for a better role.

HP Enterprises was actually pretty big in Houston before that, so its not that surprising.

HP was an interesting place. Under a previous CEO they actually attempted the whole work from home thing before in order to cut down on real estate. But that did not last when the next CEO took over, and then because office space was so sporadic, people would find offices/cubes in the closest building to them. I worked with a guy who should have been based in San Jose I think, but worked in a warehouse in San Francisco which was closer to him that housed their picture printing business, but he was sales ops for legal software.

They have offices everywhere and I would bet that few people actually make the move to Houston. Neither state is going to notice the difference.

And I wouldn't worry about Texas turning as blue as California, gerrymandering will keep that from happening.

How people vote has nothing to do with low taxes?

About open space, weather and accessibility to major ports — California has these in abundance. So it can’t be these.
