We have a saying here...."Please don't California my Texas."
No we don't.
@@ensignmjs7058 actually we do
They leave california because its a sh1thole, proceed to vote for everything that makes it a sh1thole.
Let’s make Texas blue 2024 🙌🏼
@@johnward6655 , only the fearful would use such hyperbole.
Californians need to fight for and fix their state. They drive the cost of living up in Texas.
And other states too.
You're right, they vote for high taxes, high crime and lawlessness, then don't want to stick around for it.
What other states? Illinois and New York? I supposed those 2 as well. Everyone else seems pretty happy in their state.
All jokes aside, California runs a budget surplus and, while not without its problems, is doing well.
@@jeffwvu4602 Yes, New Yorkers. They should stay in NY and fix their state instead of invading other states.
Fix your state. The amount of California refugees is staggering.
That won't happen. There are to many idiots in this state.

@@sjf4405 thanks chief.
Eh... it’s because there were so many people moving to CA. As a native Californian, I’m happy to get my state back.
@@umiluv Let me ask you. Who do you think is leaving the state? Also, do you think the people that remain are the right people to help this state?
Please don’t come to Austin! Californians have driven the housing prices here in Austin to California prices.
Have driven.
No they haven’t. Here in SD there are ZERO single family homes for under $500k. No that’s not a typo. And when I say $500k it is a POS shack in the hood. Housing prices in Austin are CA prices. You must be outside your mind.
Already, that fast? 😩
@Jeff Kibbey I do own property
I've been checking houses in Austin for the past year. The prices are the same. 250k-300k for a 4 to 5 bedroom.
It takes way longer than a year for housing prices to go up...
Don’t vote for what you fled
They probably will, and then move to another state in the next 20 years and complain that Texas is same as California with a harsh climate.
@@Mo-fu9sm Libtardism is like cancer.
How would you know what he voted for?
I came to the comments to say the same.😂
TX sucks only reason why people move there is for cost reasons
Leaves California and moving to Austin, TX lol Austin is literally the California of Texas 😂😂 this guy clearly watches Joe Rogan’s podcast.

0 state income tax in TX.
@@jnimitzch4738 because Austin is one of the wealthiest areas in Texas it actually contributes more taxes than it takes.

Yes, and vote for what brought you to Texas, not for what made you flee California.

The locusts have destroyed their state, now in search of future destruction... 😛
@Nicks Kicks some of us Texans are in denial. Besides, we have government officials that will make sure it doesn't happen.
They do not learn from their mistakes.
As a network engineer, who left California to North Carolina. It's been one of the best choices of my lifetime.
Welcome to NC and I kindly ask you dont vote for politicians/policies that will turn my home state into Cali 2.0
All the other network engineers will come next now texas will be turning blue lol
I live in NC and always wanted to go to California. But after this year, I don’t think that is the best idea anymore.
@themallen07 lol you don't gotta worry about that. ;)
No worries, people move in and out of California all the time. NC is a beautiful state. Glad you were able to take your Calfornia tech skills, and hopefully a chunky equity in your real estate if you did things well.. Best of luck to you. Vote however you like. I lean left, but support anyone's right to support whatever party/politican they feel best reflects their values.

@Anna annanymous Well... you know what they say about assuming...
BeeeZeee I agree with you! My family and I are conservative and are thinking of moving to Texas... We can't stand hearing though that alot of people "democrats" are also moving there taking their stupidness with them. SMH
@Anna annanymous People are stupid and I betcha there are plenty that go to Texas and vote Democrat.
It's a supply and demand issue
@Anna annanymous no they dont. They seem to think the way to fix left policies is to inact even further left policies
Don’t worry, the homeless will leave California for Texas, too. They go where the money is.
@@MathGPT I've heard. I had a friend that lived in California and he told us there was homeless people in the alley where trash is thrown away by his house and they harassed him and he called cops a lot but he was always told that as long as they are in public property that is not tied to anyone then they couldn't do anything about it
@@MathGPT and yea if they pull that stuff in Texas. We'd see some horrible stuff
Austin has plenty of homeless so many the city despite having 2 homeless shelters, bought an hotel and are looking to buy another. Other countries in Texas actually give the homeless bus passes to come to Austin.
I agree Texas will soon be cal🦄unicorn a good luck 😎
People often incorrectly think about the homeless as a stagnant population. Fact is, very few people are born into homelessness. Homeless people are middle class people who lived paycheck to paycheck and ran into difficulties. So anyplace where cost of living is high will likely foster a homeless population. Want to fix homelessness? Fix the middle class and stop the bleeding.
i'm from California. I'm so tired of hearing about Texas. Is it really that great? Are people forgetting? California is, was and still is amazing.
Texas is way overrated & many problems they don't tell you about. Do your research first before you go to Texas! It's really just big nothing"! This coming from a native of Texas.
You're right. Texas sucks. Please stay in California. Thank you.

We should fight for fairness!
Yesssss!!! Goodluck👍🏼
Moved away from Texas 10 years ago. Still visit a few times a year because of family but there is no way I would ever move back to Texas. Most of it is a flat, concrete jungle, suburban mess, hot and humid. There are some good points to it as the caller identified such as housing and economy but that's about it. I agree with Dave on this one since the caller is already debt free. If you like Cali, like being close to family, like having easy access to outdoors and the beach then stay in Cali because you ain't gonna have any of that in Texas. You have to know what you're moving to, it's not just what you're moving away from.
Yes preach the truth i live in texas it is a nightmare move to Arizona or stay in California we have terrible weather and the food is bad so don’t move here ever
@@deshaunwatsonisthegoat3163 it's true food in Texas is good and food culture is a big deal. Texans generally enjoy eating which is one of the primary reasons why its one of the fattest and unhealthy states.

As a man living in Round Rock, it’s safe to say that everyone who lives in Austin is probably from California 😂😂 and that’s why i’m moving west lol
I live in Round Rock as well! You know what is crazy to me, the people I know that moved from California keep voting for the same things that forced them to move to begin with. I don’t understand it. But, I think we will have to move as far away from Austin as soon as possible. Things have changed, and not for the best.
Karina Ruiz my dad actually says the same thing!😂 take the new property taxes for example.
It’s funny that so many people who don’t live in Austin (RR, Leander, Buda, Cedar Park, Buda, Kyle,) commute to Austin everyday for work.

Votes for Democrats. Gets their policies. Does not like the consequences of those policies. Moves to TX. Votes for...

Cheap homes have nothing to do with politics. It’s simple supply and demand
@@Misstresbelle there are multiple reasons for the valuation of property, but supply and demand can be directly affected by politics... as it is in California. (Rent Control, Strict Zoning Regulation, City Council Approval Boards, etc....) The reason why people moved to California in the past is because it was cheap back around 1970-90, it attracts businesses and thus attracts people. The state flipped from red to blue in 92, there had been a solid foundation set for people and businesses to continue to move there. The escalation of bad policy by California in the years since is now reaching a tipping point and will destroy the state. silicon valley will be the modern day Detroit in 20-30 years, empty warehouses(offices) everywhere.
Leave California for Texas???.......not anymore!! It’s a disaster zone!
HahAaa... this is the Comment that I was looking for

Not sure why everyone from California when moving needs to focus on Texas. There are a lot of other nice places in the US to live as well.
I was raised in CA and I have been to texas. While it can be nice, if you're moving just find cheaper places to live, there are lots of places you could move to.
Texas is extremely dry and hot, and if you feel uncomfortable around guns (or are also a vegan), it's probably better to find a different place to move to.
I like some parts of Texas, but I'd never move there.
ramsey is clueless. its literally cut in half if he moves to texas. a regular 3 bedroom house where i live is 800-1million. that same house in texas is 300k
He’s actually referencing Austin Texas which is like a California in Texas. The prices are being driven up because of transplants from Cali moving there. And Austin does have lots of spots with expensive houses. But if you are willing to be simple and settle their are $300,000 homes.
How about salaries, are they also cut in half?
That 300K house was 170K before Kommifornia started moving in. I make 41K/yr with a high-demand medical career and paid for degree. Thanks to Kommifornians I can't afford property.
@@NotQuiteEpic If you don't like it, move. I thought that was the Republican Party's motto LOL
you arent getting in a good area for 300k in texas i live here a good area is 500k up to a million yes you can get a 300k house but better buy a gun you will be robbed they love doing driveway robberies and home breakins in the middle class neighborhoods because they are easy to enter and exit and by the freeways
Moving states won’t change you on the inside tho. Yes financially it is cheaper, but the state doesn’t give you the will to be motivated and go out and chase your dreams, that comes from you.
The California government is economically crippling the states middle class tho. Taxes, 15$ minimum wage, and no available housing has driven cost of living through the rough. Not to mention the communist Gavin Newsom imposing shutdowns on small businesses

I am a Realtor in Sacramento, CA. Not all of us are leaving California. This state has a ton of great things going for it, especially the weather. Every state has its pros and cons.
For moving out of California, Texas is not in the list with such insane property taxes. I mean California property taxes are not cheap, but are better than other states. While it is true that texas has no income tax, in the end is kind of the same thing as California where is expensive. I don't understand how they can pay such insane taxes for buying a house that is cheap. But, if it's for renting I imagine that is cheap. Maybe?Either way,, I don't think moving from cal.
I love living in California. It’s beautiful with lots of outdoor activities.
As a realtor of course you would say that, not everyone will fall for it
Quit coming to Texas!
No
We coming for you Texas!
For like 5 or 6 years I’ve been wondering why anyone would want to move to California. And now others are starting to wonder why they’re still there. But now it worries me that Texas is going to become the next California. I wish people would do the things they want, instead of literally following the crowd. It’s like Dave said. So many places with so much opportunity.
I know many are worried that TX can end up liberal. I don't think they are far from that.
I predict in 25 years that alot of people will be moving from Texas to Kentucky 😆
Thanks for all the likes everyone!
First Tennessee, then Kentucky. The progressive scourge are like the aliens in Independence Day. They move from place to place, consuming everything in their path. They pick places that are at their peak and 10-15 years from going down the drain, then they move on to the next.
More like Florida or Mississippi lol.
Umm no you can go to Tennessee
Why would you move to Kentucky the second biggest socialist state in the union. They received the second most subsidies from the federal government.
Shitucky
I moved out of California almost 20 years ago and have visited Texas recently. It seems like Texas is the new California.
Please don't say that.

I feel like the Tech Lead should've been consulted for this one.
...as a millionaire.
Right!? 😂 lots of big tech companies in Austin... he can move to Texas. As long as he doesn't vote like a Californian
Even Dave, who purports to hate California, admits all the good tech ideas and companies emerge from Caliifonia. Dell is Texas based, but that's an anomaly. Apple, Facebook, Google, et al: Californiia. They like having a big presence n Texas because of the MCOL and the lower taxes. Gun and abortion issues are not huge deals for many rich or mid-level tech workers.
@@matthewgardner2144 perhaps for now only though?
Observing University of Texas is used to feed a number of the SaaS startups around Austin. Largely progressive ideology impacts the general tech culture/social scape
I've noticed that a lot of Red America loves to jump on the hate California band wagon, but there's no doubt about the career opportunities it brings for certain professionals, specifically tech. It's Silicon valley for God's sake.
Yes, you should move. But when you move, do not vote for the particular party that turns states into "new" Californias.
This, I don't mind people leaving California. I left there 27 years ago, before it was hip. But leave your CA politics behind.

People who move from CA to TX, do you actually enjoy TX. I mean we have no decent beaches, no mountains, horrible weather, flooding (Houston) every single year sometimes even twice a year and don't forget about 270 different types of mosquitoes. Yes, TEXAS is cheap but you are getting a lot of problems with it.

Texas has historically been a swing state.
Here in Long Beach CA, houses are going for 700k+. And these are typical, 2 bedroom houses, with a decent back yard but nothing really crazy.
In Austin, you could find a beautiful 4 bedroom home for just 250-300k... literally less than half, for a space that's 2x bigger, with a really nice backyard area.
You are insane for saying this... You have no idea what you're talking about.

Dave has been so grumpy lately. He needs another month long vacation in Australia.
It's entertainment but agree. His mood swings are off the charts. Plus he keeps repeating misinformation so much that even he believes it.
He would need an exemption to travel to Australia at the moment. He'd need to find somewhere closer to home to go on vacation to.
Well, he's getting sued
Want to hear the most annoying sound in the world? "I just moved here from California"
MY EARS!!!
Being an Oregon resident, not annoying, rage inducing...
My wife and I are proud democrats and native Californians born and raised. We just recently relocated to Texas for obvious reasons- specifically that Republicans and corporations have ruined our great state. So we branched out and moved to TX and so far so good....Texas is not as racist as everyone said it would be, so that's a plus. We are both college professors...she has a job lined up now at a local college, I will likely start teaching high school for the time being. Happy so far, we'll see how this goes!

@@andyw6996 Great, another Dem teaching young kids there beliefs and garbage....
I'm part of that statistic. My wife, baby son, and I just moved from San Diego to Tulsa OK in Nov since I couldn't find any more work there, but I found a good tech job here.
That must have been some culture shock.
I'll be going with you! From California here too...
How do you like living in Oklahoma?
It's not bad! We obviously miss the beach, but I'm mainly happy to have found a job and being to move into a nice house right away and bring our housing costs to less than half has been nice.
Everyone here has an accent and I'm still not used to it.
@@andrewwhitcomb4857 Yeah, I can imagine the accent would be a different twist to life.
I'm in the San Francisco bay area now, but lived in Pacific Beach ("PB") for 5 years. The bay and ocean were a mile away from the duplex we rented. Awesome weather down there!
There's a reason why housing markets are lower in cost in other areas.
I once saw a reality show about house remodels in Texas and a married couple of doctors only had a budget of $200K for a house! Big clue.
A couple with a kid I knew moved from So Cal to Ohio for a better job. A little over a year later, they wanted to move back but now couldn't afford it. The grass story applies here.
I lived in Sacramento, and the prices are wayyyy different. Dave is trippen
Ten years from now, all the ex-Californians will be asking "Where should I move to now? The crime, taxes, housing prices, brown-outs, and homeless population are horrible in Texas."
....and you will be looking for a new scapegoat instead of real world solutions. You'll still be complaining.
So true 🤣
Whilst bragging about how it’s a blue state, blue wave etc etc etc
@@matthewgardner2144 people are moving from a blue state to a red state. Seems to me the only people “looking for a scapegoat “ are the people fleeing the consequences of their votes, unwilling to link cause and effect. Red states got it together already, which is why they’re largely desirable places to live
Sweden, Finland, Norway, Denmark, Iceland, Germany. If you have the means to move, those are the best places to be.
"Its not half price".. well close enough, its 42% for me from San Diego to Austin. Kind of insane.
Like he said Austin is very liberal just an FYI.
Yes, Dave is kinda wrong. Every major city in California real estate is ridiculous, you have to move out to the boondocks to get a decent price
It’s about half for me and I’m not in Silicon Valley. I own a $1.4M home in Irvine, CA and can get the same sq footage in TX for $700k in a nice neighborhood.
Yea when I heard Dave say that’s not right, I was like, “bro, you sure?” I’m in San Diego as well.
Moved from SD to Austin recently & homes here are half price forrealz!

People don't understand our property taxes here in Texas. Factor that in and it's just as expensive.
You Texans should enact what California did decades ago - Proposition 13, to rein in your insane property (the forever) taxes.

I hope all the people who are looking at home in Texas, especially near Austin will not just look at the home price but the property tax.

Compton CA, is where I grew up , House built in 1924 $445,000 720 square foot Home🏡. Texas depending on where you pick to live 1,995 Brand New square foot home 🏡 $210,000! But I will say this, Texas property Tax is High , and It’s Something that needs to be considered , that know one ☝🏿 really talks about!
its high because there is no income tax, very good for rentals, can charge more for units.
There has been so called consumption tax (VAT) proposals to replace property tax, but certain interests don't like the idea. Many large businesses currently get huge tax breaks to locate in Texas, there is a possibility that others avoid significant taxes because of special deals. In theory a VAT would eliminate the backdoor exemptions. Gov Greg Abbott said the consumption tax is the way to go in a Tweet, but that's a far as it goes. Most of the VAT proposals exempt groceries prepared at home, rent, fuel house payments from the tax to make it less regressive. No editorial writers have taken up the consumption tax, probably because no specifics of how a VAT might function in Texas have been proposed. A bill proposing a VAT was introduced in 2021, but it never got out of committee. To some the VAT is an ideal means to get large corporations to pay taxes that they now avoid, to others it is the Mark of the Beast, a potential tax on every transaction.
No, Texas is full! Please choose another state! :D
Amen! We're full
im going to Texas too :)
Go to Texas but leave the commiegobblygook in California
Texas loves good folks and hard working honest families

I love how Wall Street is trading water futures as a commodity now 😂
Wow!
They been trying to do that since the Clinton Administration
Just a friendly reminders for those who come from Cali, we here in Texas are straight RED!
It’s a shame, California people are beginning to turn your state blue.
I am from Texas. From 1900-1970 Texas was blue. From 1970 - now, Texas has been red. Just some fun data.
Not anymore were blue now
Not true... Atleast 30% of the state was always blue.
@@yaboikillermemestar5665 that 30% Came from Cali,
Yooo, that outro music is a bop! What's the name of that instrumental? Need to know - thanks!
Please stop moving to Austin, Texas
Texas terafactory is gonna need thousands of smart employees.
@@chelsiestinson9494 guess they're out of luck 🤷♂️
I'm afraid it's to late to save Austin, Houston, San Antonio. Dallas hanging on by a thread. Fort Worth still a solid Red but under attack. We need to build a wall on the Western border of Texas to keep out refugees.
@@gusdad4811 I live in the county that has the capital of Washington state. Dallas County voted more blue than we did. I think it's too late for Dallas.
@@gusdad4811 😂😂😂
He's right 3500 sq home in Roseville CA, I can't find anything in the 400k it's about 800k on average. The Austin TX area is 400-450k for that same size home, and no state tax
Property tax will kill you though
@@savageguysi8456 small price compared to staying at California
No state income tax but the average property tax is about 3.5% - 4.5% of the homes value EVERY SINGLE YEAR
@Calvin Kim Market value
I left Chicago in 2009 lol I was ahead of my time 😎 up until like 5 years ago you could get a nice small first time owner type of home for under 95k in suburbs northwest of houston. But all the migrating has raised prices up a bit.
You know what CA doesn't have right now? Blizzards and ice storms. Have fun with that massive power outage while it's freezing. Lol
Come on don't do the texans like that
Austin is just about as left leaning and hippy liberal as any extreme area in California, with the exception of San Francisco.
SF isn't what it seems. It is a city of financial elites. The hippy days are long since gone.
The Austin city council recently voted unanimously to defund the police by 34%.
@@gastonave Out of curiosity, how will law and order be kept in place with 34% less law enforcement? Neighborhood watch groups?
@@FIRED13 It won't. The Austin homicide rate has gone up by 67%.
Nuke Austin with gummy guns candy .... a food drop ...... like a 3rd world country
Leave your Californianess too please
Left ca in 04. Loving Texas, can never go back to the west coast.
Go back!
@@sleepmoney8572 Aye my fellow Texan another Sleep Money 🤣🤣
Seeing people leave the great state of California make me sad. Cali was and always been my home
The answer is always yes. The California government is talking about taxing earners even after they leave!
Taxation without representation
Newsom needs to be stopped! If you follow @kevinkileyCA you will see what he’s doing to stop mr evil
Don’t come to Austin Texas...that’s why the housing price is going up..go somewhere else
All things reach an equilibrium. In this case, it's housing prices and the availability of tech jobs.
austin out here "thinking" it's cali with these prices!!!!!
I moved to Austin earlier this year from Denver because I got into grad school at UT. It’s expensive here. Property taxes are high. Housing isn’t cheap, and the culture is indistinguishable from Southern California. I don’t plan on staying here. I think I’ll move back to Colorado after school. It offers a much better quality of life, in my opinion.
Austin is not a great city, I can promise you that. It’s pretty much a homeless encampment these days . Austin is by far the worst city in Texas 🤮
^^^ not wrong.
Where in Texas would you recommend?
I don't know. Dallas sucks pretty hard.
Yes, after they put in the same homeless camping law California has. I avoid Austin as much as possible.
@@ajsfa Why do you say this? I'm moving to Dallas from Las Vegas next year. It CAN'T be worse than Vegas!!!
Seems like so many people are leaving the state of California.
I lived in Roseville and he’s absolutely right the prices are double in that area in comparison to Austin TX where my friends currently live....sorry Dave this young man is NOT exaggerating!🤨🙄
Wow this is almost my exact life situation as well. I live in Roseville, CA and recently accepted a job offer in Dallas Texas with the possibility of the job being in Austin Texas. I can vouch for the caller when he mentioned housing prices being almost double the price. Most of Roseville’s neighborhoods have houses going for 600k-1.5 mil. I’m talking normal suburb type houses. The mass exodus out of California is definitely real.
Don't mean to be mean, but Roseville is way overkill. Ya'll don't have beautiful weather, beaches or mountains . Maybe only the jobs and demand are supporting the high prices, what happens when either of the two drops? Nothing to support, watch out below
Wow, what an opportunity Angelo. are you liking it here? Also, any loved ones who want to move to Texas, I'm a real estate agent from Dallas (Frisco, specifically) who's lived here most of my life. Would love to help simplify their journey(s)! Info is in my 'About" section
We left Roseville for Georgia. It sounds like Dave has no idea how expensive Roseville is. If the caller just avoids the actual City of Austin, there are very nice areas that are still way less than Roseville.
@@martinover7927 AGREED. I don't know why they over spoke the caller without doing THEIR research. I'm a realtor and the market is definitely almost double.
As a resident of California, Angeleno to be exact...I used to respect Texas as a state but I lost all respect for them once my ex moved there about 3 months ago, so I know the states living standards are extremely low and I’m just not all for that...
Stay where you are, Keep Texas red!
If all this keeps happening Texas will be blue one day unfortunately, especially cities like Austin.
We’re born and raised Californians who are thinking of moving to Texas and we’re not Democrats. We also just had my brother in law and his family move there and they’re also not democrats. Don’t judge a book by its cover
@@brittanycompton8451 You can understand the fear though. Look at Arizona.
@@andressmith1414 I sure hope so.
Doesn’t matter, Texas is red and you guys still lost!
I’m Texan born and bred but I’m about ready to move. So crowded! I may go to the Hill Country where it’s still wide open. And beautiful!
@C. my bad 😅😂
Stop telling people where we at lol 😆 😂
Respect the community you’re coming into and try to understand and adapt to the local culture to keep it going. Be considerate and become part of the village, don’t threaten their beautiful way of life and you might be ok. Texans are a proud and wonderful bunch.
Property taxes are absurdly high in Texas. All of these states get you somewhere even if they don’t have a state income tax.
Are they 16.5% of your pay plus Property tax in Cali. I doubt it.
@@TheFamousAmos341 unless u make a ridiculous income in CA, your taxes wouldn’t be that high there either. CA also has low fees for car registration & other things. Property taxes are very low. It’s not all about income tax
@@DrJack144
Bro the State takes a nice chunck out of our hard earned pay, then we pay nice 8-10% sales tax. Gas Tax is also really high, prices of general goods are also higher. Rent is also way higher in Cali.
@@SuperFang1 bro, I lived in CA for 9 years & have lived in AZ the past 8. Pretty familiar with CA & how it compares to a “cheaper” state. The fact that people in populated areas of CA make a lot more $ than people in cheaper states is also a factor. We’re not comparing someone making $50k in CA compared to $50k in AZ & asking which goes further. The question is more like is someone making $100k in CA really worse off than someone making significantly less somewhere else? For home ownership & the ability to do that, I think yes. Otherwise, I generally think no tbh
As long as you don’t vote blue when you arrive is the right answer
yep!!
Lol
He's moving to Austin, of course he's voting blue lol
@@opara911 there's no where else in TX with moving to
Hello there nice meeting you here
Why didnt they tell the caller that Austin is not cheap? Most expensive city in Texas.
No everyone is not leaving. My wife and I just happily bought our first home in Alhambra. We are not wealthy. We saved and saved and saved. We had to compete with $860K cash offers. But we got into an amazing Spanish home in a quiet, traffic free neighborhood. We had to be patient and resilient but with God's guidance we made the best decision of our entire lives.
Good for you ! That's how you do it.
houses in Austin are still over valued...
Hey Californians....., DO NOT CALIFORNIA MY TEXAS!!!
There's no stopping the inevitable...
Yeah, it’s going to happen. No way around it.
Free country, buddy. Feel free to move.
I'm from Chicago and I've lived in Texas for years. He's correct when he says that Austin, Texas is referred to as the "Silicon Valley of the Hill Country." There's a lot of tech jobs as well as many more companies moving from California to Austin. The price of living is more affordable and Texas does NOT have any state income taxes. Definitely better than California for sure! Texas is also more affordable than California in more ways than one. California has its problems and so does Illinois. That's why most people move to Texas or Florida. These are FACTS.
Yeah. Dave gave many bad financial advise to me. Like seriously, the house price in Austin is easily half of that in SF, maybe even triple. Maybe you make more in SF, but definitely not big enough to counter the higher cost of living, on top of crimes, homelessness, drugs problems. People dont move from beautiful & perfect weather California, to a desert with extreme heat at times Texas simply because they want a change of view. They move because it just make more economic sense lol.
I'm moving from California to boise next month can't wait
You ruined my home. Shame on you.
@@leah6015 yeah I've been here two months this place is definitely already ruined. I can honestly say from a Californian standpoint you guys are getting fuc&ed especially by mechanics
