Texans are moving to California in droves

While it is known that many Californians looking to leave the Golden State often choose Texas as their new home, new statistics indicate that a growing number of Texans are making their home in California.

I'm pretty sure that's just the same people who left Cali then moved back.

I cant imagine a true Texan wanting to live in California 😂

[teejaybee]

"Don't Texas my California!!!"😆🤣

Sure you get paid 25k a year more in Cali but your cost of living goes up 50k so it's still a 25k loss.

I find this verrrry hard to believe. I personally know many who have left CA for TX, but have not met a single person that moved from TX to CA…

Cheaper houses = cheaper pay, cheaper weather, and cheaper number of things to do.
Hint: less = cheaper

Apparently for some people, reading comprehension is tough when watching a video. The presenter didn't say MORE people are coming to California from Texas than Californians are moving to Texas. What they said was the number of Texans who move to Cali (42, 000) is an increase this year over last year. The numbers of Californians moving to Texas is still much larger and that number (102, 000) was mentioned in the video as well.

Those high salaries that Texans think that they are going to get won't pay the taxes in California with much left over.

As someone in the moving industry I can tell you this is a complete lie.

[icelandviking]

I hope the Californians are moving back.

[MeastroItly]

I would recommend any Texan to read the California gun law before moving there

[SaintMKSII]

I work pest control in many SoCal counties and can confirm that MANY Texans are indeed moving to CA. I always thought it’d be the other way around.

The only Texans I've met here in Cali are females who wanna get into the "Industry" in any type of way and quickly get a reality check on how things actually work out here, not to mention the cost of living. Especially if you wanna be on the west-side of LA or in the beach cities and most of them become "OF Models" if they're not highly educated or have any real life skills or trades to fall back on.😅😂🤣🤦‍♂

I moved to TX from California 6 years ago and I'm never moving back to California ever!!

[phillipgonzlez]

Are they talking about all the bus loads of people?🤣😂🤣😂

[Blackowl]

People that say they hate California secretly love it

[chiarosuburekeni]

This makes sense. There are millions of liberals in Texas and there are millions of conservatives in California. Both want to get out of their respective political hellholes and go to what they see as their ideological utopia 🤷🏽‍♂️

"Former California residents are moving back to California from Texas." I fixed your headline.

[dead]

It's the people moving back. Since they were all moving to Austin the prices skyrocketed. With that happening, why would they move to Texas when they can pay the same to live in there home state.

I moved to Nevada from Cali and now I'm back in California. I hate how this state nickle and dimes us by overcharging for registration, imsurance, smog, etc. But it is beautiful.

[missjanelove]

Probably the Californians that left in the first place..😂
