Our daughter did just that earlier this year from California to Texas. She’s trying to convince us to do the same, but I don’t think my wife and I would enjoy the weather.
I did the same, only 21 years ago. You do realize that pretty much everything is air conditioned in Texas, right?
Also, do you prefer to live in slavery in a ‘good’ climate (well, except for the rioting, raping, looting, liberals, fires, earthquakes, lack of water, brownouts/blackouts, mudslides, illegals, liberals, liberals, liberals, did we mention liberals) or would you prefer to live free in a place that’s a bit less hospitable?
Remember, by living in CA and continuing to pay taxes - be they sales, income, vehicle or whatever - you are actually paying the state to abuse and enslave you.
