  • Tesla’s gigafactory and Apple’s second-largest campus aren’t the only big businesses coming to Texas. From Oracle to Hewlett Packard Enterprise, Elon Musk to Joe Rogan, Texas has lured an increasing number of big businesses and billionaires away from California since the pandemic began. While California’s population and job growth both slowed to a trickle, Texas added more residents than any other state in 2020. CNBC talks to those moving and longtime Texans about the reasons behind the trend and what it could mean for the future of the Lone Star State.

    My neighbor moved to Texas. His home sold in 24hrs here in Cali, there were 10 buyers vying for the property on the first day of the listing. Everybody is happy. However, coming back to Cali is very, very difficult. If prices jump another 30% over the next 5 years or so, the home will be well over $1M. He was a gardener, and sold flowers on the side. It's crazy.

      Have you been to Texas? The only thing we don't have in terms of landscape is a huge fault line. Ok maybe a couple of other things, I grant you, but there are mountains, deserts, forests, rolling hills, a coastline, mesas, rivers, lakes and so much more. My intension is not to harp on you, of course, but there are a lot of similarities between the two than you give credit for. Also, Texas is huge enough that the weather varies greatly from the cool weather in the panhandle, dry and hot in the western/southwestern portion of the state, humid as hell in the central Hill country and a mixture of all in the eastern part of the state. While the weather in California is exacerbating conditions for huge wildfires, so is Texas. Climate change is something that should be taken seriously regardless of political affiliation, because these two great states deserve to be preserved in all their glory, not be burned to the ground.

    What these economic geniuses are overlooking is "supply and demand' You bet you could by 5 times the house for the money you'd spend in California. The more people who move there, builders and developers are also in business...and they will see this increase in demand and adjust their prices accordingly. And with more people, there will need to be more roads. And more schools. And more parks. And the other thing they are overlooking is that while houses didn't cost as much in Texas, jobs didn't pay as much jobs in California. What's going to happen is that all these people welcoming this California influx will eventually start to resent them when they see the increases in the cost of living.

      Not true. it's what the liberals did to their area. Houston and LA have a similar GDP per capita and population over 1 million, yet Houston has lower taxes and regulations, and Housing costs twice as less.
      Their are multiple different building permits for commercial builders that not only increase price in time spent on project, approval and regulation, including specifications adds costs for upkeep, and some even speculate the real-estate bubble is artificially kept up through deals between home-owners associations, realtors, and politicians, and given the potential short-term fallout of cheaper real-estate prices, I'm willing to believe.
      Let them build as big as they want, as fast as they want, free of intervention, their will still be grievance lawsuits for deliberate shoddy construction causing loss of life and damage.

They ruined their cities and states so badly they had to move to survive. Now they are systematically destroying one of the freest states in the country, and the freest place on planet Earth. Their equality will destroy us all. It is honestly extremely sad because citizens that do not learn from mistakes are the most dangerous people in a democratic republic.

      Texas will become as expensive as CA soon because of all the people from CA moving in, but wages for most workers will remain as s***ty as they are in Texas because Republicans will let greedy companies do whatever they want.

    The cost of living, especially real estate is soaring in TX, not just because of folks moving there from CA but from all other states as well. I would give it another 20 years or less and it will resemble the crowded urban sprawl like in LA or major East Coast cities, FL is also heading in the same direction.

    The problem is.....Not enough California people are moving to Texas and they are not moving fast enough. Fewer people are better. We remaining Californians love to see the population get smaller. 39 million people are too many.

      Jim Jefferies said a while back about the US. If you want people to stop coming into the US, stop telling everyone its so great. Lol.
      Likewise, Texans need to stop telling everyone else its so damn great. Lol.
      Texans should just be like: Texas sucks. You don't want to come here. You'll hate it.

      The trick for a liberal takeover in Texas by the IT companies is very easy: just let them own their toy guns and instead of implementing state income tax, just raise all the other tax already in place, like real estate and property taxes, road tolls, sales taxes, admission to parks and so on. The vast majority of them already can't live in the liberal cities anyway so it's not like they bother each other

    Texas is experiencing what made California. It wasn't always this way, but then it became a very attractive place for business which brought people. It seems like it has reached its saturation point. It's interesting to see the waves

      Texas has been too buisness friendly, so much so that later it'll probably come to bite then back. I just hope that when exas changes it's laws, it doesn't mess up the economy there.
      BTW what I mean by coming to bite them back, is that they won't be able to do much for their people or build infrastructure if they keep lowering taxes for big companies, and smaller income sources will have to pay for the big companies.

      Very true.
      It's cyclical.
      But our US folks have short term memory, and do not realize it.
      Before CA became a powerhouse, the people that made that, came from the NE, after that area became saturated.
      And after TX goes through it, it will move somewhere else.

    I live in a 4 Bd 3 bath home about 2k per month in California. I guess I'm lucky. most people that own homes in the Bay area got them when they were affordable, now they are selling and moving out. a friend of mine got his home back in year 2000 for 250k he already paid it, now his home is market value at 1.5 million. buying a home in California was the best decision a lot of people made.
