I see loads of Texas cars here in San Diego.
In my neighborhood there are many people from NYC, Boston, San Francisco, and Europe.
People are moving here, one reason they are still building highrise condos
Glad to live in San Diego, if I couldn’t live here would pick New York City.
Well friend, all I can tell you is that the numbers don't lie. California is losing 1,000 native-born American citizens every single day to other states. Many of them are coming to Texas. I can't tell you how many ex-Californians I've met here. We're practically an invasion.
I can assure you that the Texas plates you're seeing are mainly tourists, or Texans giving Cali a whirl. Those who move there nearly always move back to Texas. Texas has the highest rate of native residents who stay, or return, than any other state.
While Cali is losing 1,000 Americans a day, the same number are moving into Texas every day of the year.
There's no getting around the exodus that's occurring.
Ever hear of the "Texaplex"? It's a triangular area defined by Dallas - Ft Worth, San Antonio, and Austin. It's been forecast that this area (now known as the Texaplex) will be the fastest growing area of the country over the next ten years.
Here's a video about the Texaplex phenomenon:
