Most interesting paragraph:
> The biggest question? Who is behind the ad, and what is their intent. The billboards show no party affiliation or sponsor. One theory states that the ad may have come from right-leaning Texans eager to keep liberal Californians away from their voting booths.

- HereIGoAgain 4y agoI actually wouldn't doubt that.. Just looking at a lot of the people who moved will tell you that most haven't learned anything and are intent on remaking the very same conditions that caused them to leave, in their new homes. I wouldn't be very happy knowing that was coming to my state.
- smt88 4y ago> Just looking at a lot of the people who moved will tell you that most haven't learned anything and are intent on remaking the very same conditions that caused them to leave People are leaving California primarily due to the cost of housing. All other reasons are secondary. Many people are leaving despite loving the desirable weather and culture there. It is likely that housing costs will rise in Texas and other places receiving Californians, but there is no "lesson to learn" in that case. People are just paying what they can afford, which (when you're earning a California salary) is a lot more than existing locals. (Note: I hate California for non-cultural reasons, but it is a lot of Americans' idea of the perfect place to live.)
