This NIMBY mentality is why Austin is rapidly catching up to California in housing prices. The advantage is not going to last long at this rate.
(And before you start, I'm like 4th generation native Texan.)
- hellbannedguy 5y agoI have a weird feeling the Yankees won't be there long. I feel it's just a matter of time before Musk moves the factory to Mexico along with everything else except the white collar jobs. Right now--a move just doesn't feel right, but I bet he is itching to move the manual labor south. He has a bunch of competition comming up real quick, and Elon is not planning on running for office, so why not sell out to cheap labor? (I don't agree with that last sentance, but so many wealthy Americans do.) He will stay two years at most. (I don't know if he got any tax payer incentives. That might play a part?) I wouldn't be surprised if Tesla hasen't bought up large chunks of Mexican land already.
