I'm here because I think California's climate for business is great. What I need is smart, well-educated, creative workers. I need reliable infrastructure. I need great universities. I need a broad-minded culture, so creative oddballs feel comfortable, and talent from overseas feels like they could make a life here. There isn't anything on this list you can't find in Texas. Those workers will move where the jobs are, especially if the cost of living is lower. Even the oddballs. California's infrastructure (including universities) is getting creaky and decrepit after years of underfunding; I'm amused you listed it in the plus column. We have one big remaining advantage over Texas: weather.
