I have a painting business and in 2023 I met so many customers from California. They moved here to Texas and wanted to immediately redecorate the houses they bought. Most were rich people. But some were people that sold their California home for over a million, moved to Texas and bought an 800 thousand dollar mini mansion. They were so happy until they received that first electric bill. Cooling and heating huge houses is very expensive, especially if you don't get on a "electric plan". Many of them live in a two story house but don''t use the upstairs because it's too expensive to cool during the summer. Some even use window units because they can't afford the central air bill.

[@dcricket1]

Texans are not happy about this either! We get 1-2 unsolicited calls a week wanting to know if we would like to sell our house!! No and don’t call back!! Don’t California my Texas!!! P.S. Thank goodness we’re not in the Texas Triangle!!! Whew!

I live in the eastern part of Texas and there is a city that is growing pretty rapidly and it’s Tyler Texas. There’s a lot to offer but you still have the green belt around it and the price of your homes and the food is very reasonable I think it’s a great place to think about living. There is a lot of home producers that produce fresh vegetables, meat, and milk that you can pick up in several different places in East Texas. Thank God for these people that still do this, so we can have a healthy choice.

Texas has the most, but its not the only one. If you live in Texas, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, or South Carolina this phenomenon is hitting you as well. We see California plates fairly common, when it used to be none at all. I haven't noticed any problems with them as far as brining the baggage with them. I feel like the ones who realize its time to move out are the ones who understand not to bring it (generally). Calfornia is expensive for other reasons as well. It has no dependable source of water. 75% of the USA lives on the other side of the river. While they have great business and such they still import a lot of stuff across the country. If you go to Califonia cities outside of LA, there are great ones. If you drive from top to bottom, you will realize a lot of it is barren land (unless you're north). You have to realize if you drive outside of that stretch its a desert. Over here you can network from business hub to business hub starting Texas and make it all the way to Canada. There are great things out there, but they are alone. The other 80% of us are much, much closer together. For instance, Atlanta isn't the biggest city, but we have the busiest airport in the US and the world.

California operates the largest shipping port in the western hemisphere…, Providing food and supplies to 50% of North America. California is the most abundant agricultural location in the country, producing over 450 ag commodities. Including #1 Dairy production. Exporting over $50 billion of agriculture annually….. As Texas developers continues to destroy productive farmland the fastest in the country. Not to mention the fires in Texas in 2024…., over 1 Million acres of farmland burned along with ranches and cattle.

Texans don't mind Californians moving here, all we ask is that everyone remember why they left California. Don't turn our Texas blue, its prospered because it's a red state. Btw the air is only dry in the north and west part of the state. All around the Houston area and all up the coast it has extremely high humidity. Add that on top of high heat in the summers, and the summers are very brutal. Winter also even though it doesn't get very cold, the humidity makes the cold feel worse. You feel it in your bones more lol

[@robtintelnot9107]

Yeah, it sucks telling people I'm from California.

To answer Dana's question, California is probably one of the most beautiful states with great weather--equal to Italys climate. Their GDP is even higher than Texas. With that said, California's politics, high prices and change in demographics has chased anyone with half of brain to move out. I moved out to North Carolina from California decades ago. I come from a huge family and 8 of my brothers and sisters have moved to Texas--it just makes too much sense finacially. California is full of a bunch of no loads looking to suckle of the government which has attracted tons of homeless from all across the U.S. because they know they can get more handouts/free stuff than anywhere else. The gang culture, sanctuary cities and lack of border control has really made the place a dangerous place to live. I loved growing up in California, but you couldn't pay me enough to live there now which is a shame because the place all the way up & down the state is simply beautiful!

I wouldn't say this video is accurate nor a lot of the comments as people are using their anchor biases and feelings while ignoring some key facts and historical data not to mention like the power grid and a lot of these videos dont share key details about how say the power grid is owned by private companies who limit and dont release all the numbers and well just because you build a lot doesn't mean its efficient that being said its speculation and the whole texas pride feelings not the the cold hard factual data and surface level only understanding a v12 engine looks and sounds good but doesn't matter much if only 2-4 cylinders are working and yes you can get rc v12 engines

You don't need to live in a city that has sports teams to enjoy/watch the sports, unless you like going to live games. Then the next question is, do you base what sport teams you like on where you live? It all sounds ridiculous.

[@ivandragomiloff2356]

As a third generation Californian, I have watched my state destroyed by corruption, bad political policies, the inability to get anything done or build because of horrid red tab and bureaucracy. It’s all due to one party control-Democrats, but not just any sort of Democrat…it’s the San Francisco Bay Area sort of Democrats that run the entire state. They live in a fantasy world that has no common sense. Many Californians, in the North State, the Central Valley, and the Inland Empire, do not have a say in how the state is run and have suffered. The saddest part, is that maybe all the disasters that have befallen this great state, may be the only way to get the political changes needed, to bring it back to its former glory.

[@etommy13]

Funny because those same people built CA. Maybe is CA starts being more selfish and stops helping out poor read states it will return to it's glory.

We didn’t need the senator when the power went out we needed power. Apparently that has been fixed we just had a week of freezing temperatures and we didn’t lose power this time, I’m not worried about power outages stuff happens especially here where we aren’t used to cold weather. I’m born and raised Texan we just learn to deal with issues instead of whining about it.

What the heck is wrong with someone not wanting his face out there when there are so many psychos in this world. I’ve seen many KZbinrs and TikTok channels say people figured out where they live and they just show up to their home like it’s no big deal. I fully understand why he’d want to cover his face. He used to just do voice overs but people complained so he does the mask and then people bitch about that. The dude can’t win. Damned if he does and damned if he doesn’t.
