You've never been to Texas have you?many don't want to move to Texas because of the weather. Thus, Texas won't get the brightest minds wanting to move there.

I have blocked .... that .... FELLOW ... (that took some self-control) but unfortunately I could still read his inanity in the email notification of a new post. I'll have to tell the boss that the system needs "tweaking"....You've never been to Texas have you?
Considered the same. But decided against it. I find I enjoy the comic reliefI have blocked .... that .... FELLOW
Young people here are very resourceful. They rent out rooms in big house sharing kitchen and bathrooms. Big house across street is rented to millenials. I have an rental where 3 people share the rents.Forget the political angle. I don't think companies are moving due to politics, per se. I think they're moving for economic reasons, to which the politics can contribute but which also include other considerations. WRT Silicon Valley in particular I think housing prices for the workers are definitely a factor. The ratio of highly paid vs moderately paid workers in a tech firm have to be relatively low, so whether the few can fully enjoy the coastal lifestyle or not it ultimately matters what the lower paid workers can afford.
If you're a $100k/yr tech worker and can barely afford to rent a 2bd apt in the town where you work you might have aspirations of owning your own home that won't be possible to achieve in Silicon Valley. At that point those $300k starter homes on the south side of Austin might provide a strong motivation to relocate.
They could just not sell to California or pass the tax on to the California buyers. How does that help?Politicians in California has Bill AB-71 which will increases taxes on companies making profits of $5,000,000 or more.
And the companies don't have to be headquartered in California.
Yeah, you want to sell in California, you gotta pay. Can't run away to Texas.
It's for a good cause to help the homeless.
California has created the homeless problem and never done anything to help them except line local and State politicians pockets , they get a $3,000,000 grant and that POS Garcetti sets up a 10 person Blue Ribbon Committee to study why people homeless. Then after they blew through the $3,000,000 they show up at another place asking for more money. Kinda like the Billion dollar High speed train that is stuck and now will be a low to no speed train. Californians have become dumber and dumber, by the day.Politicians in California has Bill AB-71 which will increases taxes on companies making profits of $5,000,000 or more.
