- thatguy0900 6y agoWhen I read about them moving to states like Texas in numbers, all I can think is that they will inevitably try to take these same policies with them when they find out wherever they moved too isn't quite liberal enough
- paul_f 6y agoI don't know, but my guess is the people that moved didn't like the policies of the state they left
- thatguy0900 6y agoSeems like a large portion of people in this thread at least are more concerned about lowering cost of living while still being in a large active city than about local polotics, even if those things do tie together
- therockspush 6y agosounds about right. take the bay area salary, work remote in texas/arizona/nevada because its cheaper and rationalize it by saying its the politics thats making me move. i've had this conversation 5 times this week with friends and colleagues, and none of them have actually spent more than a week in texas/arizona/nevada. anyone that wants to live in one of those states, try it for a couple months if you can before taking the dive.
- jacobion 6y agoWhen a Californian leaves for Texas, the average intelligence in both states goes up.
- CitrusFruits 6y agoI think you're totally right in some capacity, but there's also a lot of people who are excited to get away from the hyper-liberal climate of California.
- thatguy0900 6y agoI guess it just depends on California's vs Texans definition of hyper liberal. I don't know what level of liberalism it would take to get dislike from the average Texan but I know it has to be miles away from declaring that arresting shoplifters is racist.
