For all these issues, states like Texas are going to be vastly more practical than doing any real projects in places like California. Look at California's record on railway, housing, etc. SF spends $1B/mile on railway (see Central subway), or $1M on a public toilet. If anything, moving more industries to states like Texas or Georgia is a great way to improve the overall dynamics of the state. This already happened to a great degree with film/tv studios moving to Atlanta.
