As a native Californian, I'd be fine with more people moving out of California, especially the coastal areas. The surf spots are overcrowded compared to the days when I had the waves to myself. Then there's this: California man blasts Texas 'dystopia' in Op-Ed after moving to Austin https://www.mysanantonio.com/lifestyle/travel-outdoors/article/California-man-blasts-Texas-dystopia-in-Op-Ed-15887614.php https://www.mysanantonio.com/lifestyle/travel-outdoors/artic...

The California 'exodus' is more of a mass immigration into certain desirable areas in the US. These cities & even states have populations smaller than individual suburbs of LA so Californians tend to stand out; especially when they complain and want to change the places they move to.

  A while ago I moved to Medford Oregon for a couple of years and the hostility towards Californians was real. Someone I know moved to Southern Oregon recently and it's a little better, primarily because there are a lot of Californians there enjoying great property values and no sales tax.

    Where I moved in the Pacific North West, the most hostility comes from the people who moved here 15-20 years ago, often from California too. Although, some of them are pretty chill. Most of the people with deep roots are pretty chill too, but I have run into a amall handful of extra grumpy people.

As someone that made the move from California to the Austin area- I don't regret it for a second.

He didn’t move to Austin, he moved to Bee Cave. Huge difference. In Texas the inner cities are like a different world from the suburban and rural areas. (I say this having lived in both SF and Austin.)

Alder wrote that Texas was a [...] "monoculture that doesn't seem to be aware of it's own blandness." Absolutely rich coming from a Californian. Also I still can't tell if this article is satire or not.
