This is very funny to read, because I had the exact opposite journey as you. I love California so much that I buckled the popular media narrative and moved _from_ Texas _to_ California. Funnily enough, people talk about the California-to-Texas pipeline as if it's a new thing, but it's been an observed phenomenon since at least 2005, and it's a lot smaller than the media would have you think (usually net ~40k year leave CA for TX, with about 80k going to Texas and 40k coming from Texas). That is 0.1% migration, and seemingly negligible in either direction. https://kinder.rice.edu/urbanedge/2021/03/03/californians-moving-to-texas-covid-migration https://kinder.rice.edu/urbanedge/2021/03/03/californians-mo...
