It been fucking hillarious seeing people doubletalk California demographics.
“Everybody keeps leaving California because the cost of rent and housing keeps going up!” which feels true but like…
It has big “Nobody goes there anymore, it’s too crowded” energy.
I feel like people keep going to Texas because the rent is too high in california, then they go back to California because there are no freedoms in Texas, which forces them to go back to Texas because there’s no place to live in California as it’s too expensive. And they’re just stuck in this Loop
There have always been more people entering than leaving lol.

Daily reminder that Texas sucks. So do Republicans.
Similar thing is happening here in Washington. A lot of people from Austin moving here because Texas politics are terrible.
I moved from Texas to Washington about 12 years ago. I noticed pretty quickly after moving that damn near any time I drive, I can spot a car with Texas plates if I look for one. I saw one just yesterday while I was taking a walk.
The media publishes an article about Texans moving to California or Californians moving to Texas like every other day. What angle do you want?

For fucking real, people have been moving both to and from these places for a long time. The net migration is really not that big of a slice, but articles about it must drive clicks
Texas politics are homo- and transphobic. Gladly a certain Trans Texan Twitch streamer left the state for safety.
I often work in rural TX. I’ve had a number of Texans suggest I ought to move there, cause muh freedums. Yeah, I target shoot a little, but I’m lefty as hell. I talk about guns sometimes to deflect questions about my politics.
They are so full of themselves. They think because great grandpa was a cowboy that they inherit all his toughness. I don’t know how grandpa lived, but I know Texans today live mostly in air conditioning and love shopping, huge portions, and convenience. They’re fully convinced there is nowhere better on Earth. But no, I’ve been all over the Earth. TX sucks and I’d never move there.

Huh. So Texas is to Americans what America is to the world. Interesting.
(I’m mostly joking…)
But but but I was told during the pandemic that these blue states were going to die because everyone was leaving for FREEDOM in TX and FL.
Hey look it’s me in the future.
Pretty sure liberals are starting to recognize texas is never going blue and they should just move so they stop contributing to its economy.
It’s generally preferable to have running power and water during the winters, but that might just be me.
I think they just want infrastructure that actually works.
Tots and pears don’t keep you cool in the summer or warm in the winter.

I get that this a quip, but it actually is. Weather patterns are a lot more forgiving of the un sheltered. To the point where other states will send their homeless to us. As if we weren’t putting enough people out.
How could it possibly be better than like, southern Cali?
I swear if I was ever homeless and without dependents, I’d just start walking southwest. Fuck being homeless in the winter up north.
