Business Climate: Los Angeles is buzzing over the possible exit of Sriracha sauce maker Huy Fong to friendlier territory in Texas. But why shouldn't it go? L.A. is so unfriendly it makes Detroit look good, according to two studies.

Agreed. I was born and raised here and have seen the conquest by a coalition of aliens and degenerates. Naturally, they cannot govern for the benefit of all.

As the article points out, Los Angeles has 5 Fortune 500 headquarters. Plano lags far behind with only 2.

LA has a population of 10 Million while Plano, TX has a population of 272 Thousand, LA is 40 times more populated and yet Plano has 40% of the number of fortune 500 that LA has.

Plano wins.

“I wouldn’t call that far behind. Plus why not compare LA to, say, Dallas?”

If this operation should relocate to Texas it won’t be in the Dallas area. The processing plant must be within three hours of its supplier’s pepper fields. So, this requirement would place the plant somewhere in or near the Rio Grande Valley area. Lots of land and labor down there and the jobs are needed, wanted, and would be appreciated for sure....

“Your responses are mindboggling. Please don’t reply to me anymore.”

It seems to me that you may have misread the situation. Perhaps a quotation would help: “Common sense and a sense of humor are the same thing, moving at different speeds. A sense of humor is just common sense, dancing.”

You sir, cannot dance.

They're apparently looking at Denton, which is home to Tetrapak, Peterbilt, the University of North Texas, and Texas Women's University.

It looks like an ugly sea of urban concrete to me, both from the sky and on the ground.

Sure - California loves nice, clean, corporate offices with a lot of people using computers all day. Silicon Valley comes to mind.

Actual, dirty production and manufacturing - they don't want any part of that.

My wife is from Plano and remembers when the population was 2000. It was just a wide spot in the road back then.

Really? I listened to Mark Davis interview the leader of the Texas recruiting team on the radio a couple of days ago and he was talking Rio Grande Valley/San Antonio area. He said (can’t recall his name, a Texas Legislator) that first hurdle is determining if soil, rain, temp, etc, are satisfactory for growing quality peppers that meets requirements. Second, criteria is finding a site location within three hours transport time from pepper fields. Not sure, but I “think” these requirements knocks North Texas out of consideration.

When one considers what L.A. used to be — a beacon of aerospace, clothing, food and film production, with the world's busiest ports — and what it is now, which is a major exporter of old clothes and scrap metal recycled by the Chinese, it's a sad, sad picture.

That doesn’t count US headquarters of foreign companies, like Toyota and Ericsson. It hurt when HP took over EDS and Dell took over Perot.

Plano is a northern suburb of Dallas. Irving, another Dallas suburb, has several fortune 500 companies, too.
Dallas has one or two, but no company wants to officially move there because of the schools.
