Doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out whats wrong with that state. Its a mess.

Lawmaker: San Antonio at top of list for Sriracha factory - Houston Chronicle

There are plenty of wide open spaces in Texas where this plant could relocate without offending nearby residents.

There's a place in Texas called Mentone, I don't think it even HAS a residential area and I think the county has a couple dozen humans.

Does California really give a hoot, with wealthy Chinese nationals buying up the State who aren't going to complain about high taxes?

From what I've read, roughly 20-25% of the buyers in California are wealthy Asians, and how many are buying in Texas? Would they even stoop that low?

A LOT

Houston has the largest Chinese population in the South/Soutwestern/Southeastern US with its 2 Chinatowns.

Dallas has the 2nd largest. In fact, its right in the heart of Plano where your Toyota is moving.

Amen. I'm so sick of people moving here I could scream. Traffic is horrible already, and I'm sick of these watering restrictions. I realize it's mainly due to drought but a rapidly-increasing population is a huge factor too.
