We are taking the jump. Born and raised in CA. We have lived in Southern Cal, Central Cal and now Northern Cal...i’m 45 and a business owner. As much as I will miss our current community, friends and our family...it’s doesn’t make economical sense to stay any longer. We are conservative and don’t like the liberl loons who are destroying our state. Yes we have nice weather...but how much time do we really spend outside. And with housing so much more affordable there, we can buy a home with a pool...so if it’s hot..we shall swim :) The schools are rated high in the area’s we are looking to move and a conservative attitude prevails! We like the idea of keeping over 20$ we pay in State income tax in CA, not to mention cheaper everything...32% cheaper to live in TX. We want to enjoy our life...not give our hard earned money to a bozo state. Things are going to get really bad here in CA, really bad. Housing prices will continue to go down as more business’ leave and the middle class...I hope they change coarse...so in my old age I can see California back in her glory!!!
Welcome.
I’ve traveled (and lived) all over the United States (and traveled abroad) and I will tell you now, Texans will win your heart.
As you’ll often see stuck on TX car bumpers,
“I wasn’t born in TX but I got here as fast as I could.”
Have a good landing.
