I think you're missing an important element here. Big mature tech doesn't want to be in the STATE of California for financial reasons. Arizona is far more advantageous. The issues with Austin developing many of the same housing/diversity issues as SF, isn't going to be solved, and I don't think they expect it to.

Bingo. Texas has no state income tax and has offered a lot of incentives to bring in more business. It's the 2nd largest state in the Union, has a decent set of universities, warm (hot) weather, and several large, wealthy cities, like Dallas and Austin. Houston is set to overtake Chicago as the USA's 3rd largest city before too long.
