Sorry about the audio issue at 7:00!! I've uploaded a fixed version - link is in the description! (it's too late in the day to re-upload without the video doing a lot better, so I'll leave this one up but if you want to watch it with the audio fixed just head over to that one)
Yes! My brother has been trying to buy a home for a year and Californians keep coming in and buying all the houses in cash over asking price, without even seeing the houses.
yes Texas is the new California - I mean in terms of it being the new golden place everybody moving to - we forget CA was that place starting in the 60’s. It was not just liberals either - it was Republican and there were jobs, clean beaches, great weather and friendly people. My W TX property taxes are already crazy !!
Believe it or not we are dealing with the same issue in California. A lot of people from the Bay Area are moving into neighboring cities and outbidding the locals. I’m considering moving to Texas
As a Texan, I see more Californians move here daily and I see prices skyrocketing, traffic getting worse, not to mention real estate is becoming more like California.. price-wise. I mean I love y’all, but damn this is too much!
That’s because Californians live in a bubble. I should know, I moved here 8 years ago from the Midwest. They believe they are always correct and the way they lived prior is the only way to be. This is why so many people dislike Californians.
My grandparents moved to California from Kansas and Connecticut. No one in America is bound to the state they were born in. America is a young nation rapidly changing. I'm in a very nice neighborhood in Ventura, California. If it gets bad I'll move to another nice neighborhood somewhere else. Anywhere you go you'll have different classes in society. I fit perfectly into the upper middle class and don't plan on moving away from it.
@@neutrino78x we will go where we want stfu Your little cali state exist because of us 😂 Ill go cali when i want how I want, texans own that state. Actually i might just go there next week and build a church
As a Texan here’s my issue with Californians moving here. There was a group of super cheap budget apartments my buddy rented and it was a very small space I’m taking barely 500sq ft one bedroom apartment with a cute colorful cottage feel in central texas. One day a young California couple bought the whole place and pained it grey and white with an orange stripe. I guess to make it pop? Before each building was a different color and for the village theme. But the original rent was $425 a month and these guys barely renovated it mostly just repainted the walls and exterior and bumped up the price to $1200. This is a common trend. And now Texans making Texas wages cannot afford it only more Californians moving here and buying more and more property and re selling it for much much higher. We’re seriously fed up with it. Also one of Austin’s most beautiful sceneries the west Austin hills which are pretty and green now being bought up and huge mansions are popping up on them scaring the landscape. Whole forrests and land being turned into condos and overpriced neighborhoods. I’ve seen many Texans moving to Michigan or Ohio to afford a life. It’s really sad. And still they complain and say California is better. The stuck up attitude and snobby behavior is not “chill” it’s disrespectful and Texans don’t like it.
Keep complaining because it will change nothing unless you want New York style rent control. That just makes everything worse. A lot of people complained about cars and railroads because they were loyal to horses. How foolish do they look now?
@@HockeyVictory66 you're correlating people arguing modes of transportation to people arguing cost of living and thus quality of life being severely affected? Yeah, that makes perfect sense dude. LOL my gosh some peoples kids.
@@justaguy653 Again, what you say means nothing. People keep going to Texas for work and cheaper housing and you will learn to live with a higher cost of living whether you like it or not. Whether it be modes of transportation, cost of living, culture etc, you will not be able to stop the change. What level of education do you have and what do you do for a living?
@@HockeyVictory66 I do very well for myself, I’m in the highest tax bracket. What I was saying is that comparing the complaints of railroads to complaints of higher prices of living and thus lower quality of life is not the same. That was my point. To the point in your last comment; Will I personally be affected much from the influx of people moving here? Not necessarily but I’m not incapable of thinking outside of myself and seeing this will be a huge problem for many native Texans. I have friends and family who are looking to buy their first house and they are being outbid at every turn. You seem like someone who has a cold heart and a cynical mind. Brother, you are just like every other dirt bag these days. This country has enough people like that, maybe try to move against the grain and think about people other than yourself. In this self idolizing society I know it’s hard to do, but to us “normal” people you come off as a complete douche bag. You’re not a realist, you’re douche. Good thing is you can change that 🤙
@@gumerzambrano As a Libertarian I can say both parties have flaws but Democrats have made a platform on destroying freedom and embracing communism.

It doesn't quite work like that. At the end of the day, we are US citizen and we are all paying federal/state taxes. All 50 states are available to us to move to and change in our own image. It all come down to the vote counts whether we like it or not.

@Eat it You mean the California that's got 24% of the nation's homeless population, and gets $500 billion this year for forest management from the federal government and still has whole towns burning down to the ground?
170.000 US$. 30 years old house with my own pointed tower. PV with carport and parking lot for 10. Everything in fine working order. 1300 sqm with 300 sqm living area on 3 floors. Just installed a heat pump for winter and spring obviously because its still very cold around here. I guess the price is - okayish.
Just think if...Lower the expectation a bit say $800-$900k range. Don't have expectations to live in Dallas proper. Outlying areas in the DFW provide more bang for the buck. Its a given that wherever you go in Texas there is a commute. Texans tend to measure distance in time...with traffic. You did hit the main points. There are problems in and around every major city.
As a California native born and raised. For us older generation many of us left California because of California Politics. For me Arizona is the place to be.
It really is about the low cost of living that attract people to Texas from California. What other reason is there? Btw I’m a Houstonian and do consider myself a Texan first but California is just so much more beautiful and fun!
I've been in food service for years, and I'm moving to Houston because they have some of the best restaurants in the world, and a governor who won't put them out if business.
It seriously sucks I use to live in downtown Austin, rent got way to expensive and had to move to an outside town just to afford living because people like that moving here.
Yes, there is a downside. If you do a lot of drugs and ruin your life many of the people of Texas will not give you money to continue your drugged up life but will instead tell you that you made your bed, now sleep in it. Plus I hate the interstate road designs in Texas. And in the summer it's crazy hot and humid, even if you're at the beach.
@@jacksonbritton934 I lived in Austin for 11 years and I just left. My rent went through the roof and I got sick and tired of the libtard policies. Forget trying to own a home in Travis County.
We moved to Cedar Park TX on the outskirts of Austin from Cali because housing was so expensive in the Bay Area. After four years though, we moved back and have never looked back. Yes, we pay a lot for a smaller house, but frankly, everything across the board from colleges, through job opportunities, through healthcare, through places to go and things to do is in fact much, much better in Cali. I do not bear any ill will towards Texas or the people there - just the opposite, many were quite friendly and easy-goingness seems built into the Texas psyche. But the Bay area is like having 10 Austins all rolled into one. If you like Texas, that is fine, more power to you. For us though, it just has low taxes (though high property ones), big houses... and nothing much else. In the case of Cali, things are more expensive....but sometimes you get what you pay for and we are VERY glad we moved back. Small house and all.
Thanks for sharing. Are there any other day to day thiings you found challenging comparednto LA? They say the novelty of a big, nice home wears off after some time and it wont make up for other values that one holds dear.
The property taxes here in Texas are fucked up, truly 😭 I saw that shit for the first time and had to take a seat. Florida started looking pretty good but then I remembered the insurance I paid there and it basically levels out comparatively
As someone who has lived in Texas for 15 years (Austin for 12 and DFW for the last three years) I would say the same problems in CA are migrating to Texas due to Influx of High earners and high levels of income equality. While property is cheaper in Texas then CA, Rent prices are keep going up making to unaffordable for working class people, many parts of DFW and Austin have large homeless populations that keep growing ever year(183 and Cameron). Saving 5% on taxes won't change your life.
@@ErickaWilliamsCC have you been to the DFW area? I’m in Frisco and we went to Austin and I couldnt believe it was the same state. Literally turds in the street. You won’t see that anywhere in DFW.
@@DLF-do1gj It's not Californians that are moving Texas. It's mostly all the transplants that gentrified our cities in California.

You forgot to mention its due to their Democrat voting patterns. They come to a red state and their Liberalism plagues the state. If you come here and like it, please do not vote blue. It is great because it is Red
@Iam-doG Iam-miH Or as a California, The people got tired of paying ridiculous sales tax, property tax, State income tax and energy prices highest in the natiion. That is reason enough to move. But since you appear to be a fanboy of California, I would also add freedom to defend yourself, Protection of your property, not getting screwed over by that State when being a landlord, and the most important reason is not having to deal with the crap and piss of homeless people on the side walks and streets. A dare you to deny that Sacramento, LA, San Diego, LA, or the entire San Francisco Bay area do not have this problem. The ONLY THING CALIFORNIA HAS going for it is the WEATHER. However with climate change that is going away.
I grew up in Texas and now am having to strongly consider moving because the housing market is just getting ridiculous. Californians beware that you might not be quite welcomed by locals Bc of how much you’re raising the cost of everything here. Edit: please do not use my comment to hate on all Californians.. I do not hate Californians, I was more speaking on the gentrification of many areas in Texas making the cost of living extremely high and driving a lot of people out. I am not at all telling them to get out or concerned about maintaining our current status as a red state. My warning was for Californians moving here to brace themself for negative attitudes they unfortunately are likely to receive.
keep in mind that many people living in California are not originally from California. Even Shelby is not originally from California. And expect much more inter-state migration of people back and forth as technology evolves and transportation becomes cheaper and communication technologies become better and cheaper. And also expect more people that live in multiple states and who call home more than one state.
Not just that, but they don't see the issue with the way they voted. They will vote blue here and eventually Texas will be a blue state and will be just as terrible as Cali.

If you’re living & working in California, it’s just a matter of economic fact that you’re paying an exorbitantly higher cost of living but also getting paid according to that COL. So moving is just a smart economic move especially if you can now work remotely at those California companies (or have simply put enough away in savings), not necessarily a luxury per se. Also, there’s nothing “actually insane” about working hard enough & managing your finances smart enough to have the freedom to move or travel. It’s called being a grown-up and making smart moves.
I have moved 10 times, 5 USA states (multi moves ion each state) and Paris, France. Mostly for jobs, but moving does not have to be expensive and if there are more opportunities the move is worth it. After our first move we began to enjoy moving as an opportunity to experience different areas. We are in CA now, but will leave in 1- 2 years and plan to return to North Carolina. CA has outpaced our ability to keep up with the cost.

I’m sorry I don’t mean to be rude but the price of living and the overall Texas economy could be severely affected if an influx of people move from California to Texas. This could cause the price of living and other factors that influence Texas’s economy to change for the worse. So I hope many people moving from California to Texas understand this!
It’s still highly related to policies though. California has among the highest taxes that were spent to nowhere and causing everything to be expensive. They also has the highest gas price which is not quite related to population.
You are right and it has. The huge influx of Californian's moving to Texas has changed the landscape. Instead of negotiating the price on a house they decided to offer more than the asking price and drive up the house prices, so what was a reasonable priced housing market has gone up ~50% or more (not including the hysteria of the last year). Traffic has become a nightmare because TX highways weren't built to handle this much traffic.

I moved to Texas back in ‘06 from California. Moved back to Cali in under 6 months. Texas was great but I had one major oversight, and that was the sheer lack of natural beauty and land contour as compared to Cali. That was enough to get me to move back. No regrets, even with the crazy liberals of which I’m not a part.
I’m in Ohio and I’m from Santa Barbara CA. Left to OH since it’s too expensive to buy a home in CA and I have kids. Yeah it’s been 2 years and I could write a book on how awful Ohio is. It’s not worth it and I’m moving back to CA this June.
I am from Fort Worth (near Dallas fyi) and it is crazy to see so many people from California be amazed at our prices because they have actually have gone up like crazy these past years. It is kind of harder to buy a home now for locals since prices have gone up yet we still have a lower minimum wage than California. A few years ago my dad bought a house to rent out for around $60,000 and its value has gone up to almost $200,000! It might be a good time to sell for profit, but not really to buy for most Texans.

I would also like to know how many of them are leaving because they actually dislike California. How many are moving because their companies moved or because they can't afford to stay?

I've lived in Texas my whole life and love it however, the beauty and accessibility to California can't be beat. Being 2 hours away from the beach, the slopes, the dunes, or insane mountains hikes/drives is something you probably can't anywhere else in the world. There's a reason it's so expensive. I'd love to spend some extensive time there to really get a feel for it.
I agree. I live in Los Angeles. As with any major cities, there are some good and bad areas. While it's quite expensive, I don't know any place in the world where you can get to the beach, snow, desert, mountains within less than 2 hours drive. I can reach any major retailers with 10 minutes drive, like WalMart, Costco, Lowes/Home Depot, mall, restaurants, etc. You can't find a home less than $500K within city limits.
We have all that in Michigan & do not have to worry about sharks. Well maybe not the mountains but you go to the UP in Michigan & it is very remote & beautiful. Actually once you get up to Mid lower Michigan it is a whole new world.
The weather is far better in coastal Southern California then it is in Texas which is way too hot from June-October. The only real negative about California is the Fires that burn hundreds(or even thousands) of homes each year.
The thing to remember is that there's always the question of what types of natural disasters you're likely to face (e.g. Cali's got its earthquakes, but Texas has tornadoes or hurricanes, depending on the part of the state)
Unfortunately, California has MANY types of natural disasters. You have earthquakes (I have been in 3 6-pluses), fire, drought, flood (which happens when all of the rain comes at once, in atmospheric rivers), and landslides.
Plus the libs are moving into the populated areas and ruining it I’m going to have to move out into the country soon too things are just getting too damn urban too damn fast where I live
That seems like a big trend in the past few years, people are moving to rural areas more and more. Cheaper and with a good income then you got it made.

One of the issues with the homeless problem was that Texas actually tackled the problem early on. There was an ex-mayor of Austin who was on a podcast that basically said they had the same issues as LA. But back in the 90s, the mayor of LA decided to kick the can down the road because they didn't have to really deal with the problem. Mainly because by the time it became a real issue they were outta office. While most of the people who were elected to mayors in Austin were mainly local business people who had a lot of incentive to remove the homeless issue. LA raised taxes to tackle the homeless problem. Austin raised a private fund, headed by the local business that basically paid for the damages made by homeless without the need for paperwork. This made renters more inclined to rent to homeless because damages were covered without the need for excessive amount of paperwork.
@@WildnUnruly It is kinda sad that California makes like $3 trillion(GDP) in 2020. Of that $3 trillion that is taxable 2/3 of it goes to service the state pension for local and state government workers. To give a rough estimate around $268 billion was collected in taxes (in 2010) and the federal government also had to give an additional $76 billion to cover California expenditures. Reason for this massive state pension was in the 90s they made an estimate of how the pension fund would grow based on how stocks and property value kept growing per year. A lot of people believed in the theory of the perpetual growth model. The unions of the local and state workers got smart and made the pension contract ironclad. Meaning if California ever breaks the contract for pensions, they pay close to trillions of dollars. So this isn't a 'well the rich isn't paying their fair share of the taxes.' This is a California got themselves in a crappy contract. Even if you tax every person in California 100% won't solve the issue that every year California has less money to work with to pay off their yearly expenditures. This is the reason why the state and local government is trying hair-brained schemes like taxing individuals who leave California to about 10 years.
Texas also builds a lot of housing. This contains property prices and makes housing more affordable to low income individuals which decreases the amount of homelessness. California needs to build A LOT more housing but they have a ton of policies that prevent that so they wind up with ludicrous housing prices and tons of homelessness because they have a 3.5 million unit housing shortage
@@MeGawOOt99 Wow, California actually has been working with budget surplus for quite some time. But when a Republican president comes in and give huge tax cuts to major corporations and those companies don't reinvest their profits back into the state, it creates a vacuum and causes prices to rise in every aspect of the economy.
@@joni1405 You do understand that the majority of homeless people have mental health issues. So they can't work and pay for housing in the first place. Republicans cry for less government which caused the closure of most government funded facilities in the first place. So unless you are willing to open mental health hospitals, and have the staff work for free, and render services for free, the federal government must be involved.
@@ACDC5 You do understand California taxes taken in and expenditures are archived on the internet right? By saying oh California always had surplus for quite some time is false unless you are purposely not accounting the state and local pensions. Which attributes 2/3 of expenditures of California. People in finance and billionaire have been discussing this. The All-In Podcast been discussing this. This has been an issue since the end of the 90s. There has been a documentary made about the issues of California like the abandoned High- Speed railway project to the State pensions. No one is saying California isn't making a lot of money. It is. Everyone been saying California has been for a long time spending more on expenditures than it been taking in. On the side note, public companies are not obligated to reinvest their profits back into the state. They take care of the shareholders first via capital gains or dividends to attract more shareholders. The sad thing is LA and NY has been promoting this internationalist cosmopolitan type thinking. As large companies like Coke cola, they see themselves more international than American. So why invest in a region, if the cost of doing business surpass a certain threshold that you can just move somewhere else? You can blame the Republicans and Trump all you like. But the matter the fact is the culture of globalization and internationalism mean no loyalty to one's country/ region/ state. Your country increased taxes? Just move to another country since you are likely a duo or tri citizenship of multiple countries. Country is getting invaded? Move to a safer country. As a internationalist, you don't fight wars. Those are for the poor people and people not connected internationally. You finance you're interest via lobbying groups and special interest groups.

People in Texas should be scared of how these people from California vote when they live in Texas. Texas is the way it is because of their conservative values/voting trends. An influx of Californians will definitely change that. As a Californian still living in California due to work, I wish you the best of luck.
Influx of *liberal* Californians. Please stop assuming all Californians are liberal. At least add the *liberal voting* tag to it because that’s what the issue is
most people leaving california are transplants that move over here trying to achieve their "dreams" then do nothing but complain that is expensive living here. yeah its expensive because out of state people keep moving here.
@random Actually, politics aside, there are some things in CA that is pretty hard to beat. As for the sucking part - it sucks to be poor regardless what state you're in!!
The great thing about The US is that there are 50 states and they each offer something different. I have personally lived in 13 and visited 46. If one state doesn’t work for you, there are 49 others to choose from.
We moved from So Cal to Dallas more than a decade ago. We didn’t move because it was cheaper. We moved because it’s a much better place to raise a family. CA has become so dirty, scores of homeless people, tons of senseless policies. Everyday living is so much more difficult in CA. We definitely made the right decision.
The same thing's going on in England - in London, before the pandemic it was like everyone wanted to live there; now more and more people want to live in more rural/coastal places like Devon and Cornwall, and both of these things are being reflected in their respective property prices. I'll always love London though as I was born there 😅
You worded this perfectly! Quiet country living is way more desirable now and as more people work from home is much easier to move to the countryside as people don’t need to commute to work places. I’m lucky to live in the south west on the edge of a city so I get the best of both worlds!!
I have a family member who put their house on the market in the New Forest just before Covid lockdown, the first buyers pulled out so come lockdown it was back on the market. It was on the market for £600k, it eventually sold for over £800k. I would never had paid that for it personally, it was a crazy price for what it is. A couple from London wanted it as a second home. He had a ridiculous amount of offers and people fighting over it with the most bizarre offers too, all Londoners wanting to move to the Forest or have a bolt hole. He had bought it to do it up and sell, he gutted it top to bottom & garden, between his improvements and Covid, he made nearly 50% on the price he bought it for just over a year before. (Minus the price of renovations of course) still a property of that value increasing about £400k in a year is unheard pre-Covid.
@@lucysmart6472 That is really ideal! I can kind of relate as I go to uni in Bath - looking forward to hopefully being able to make the most of my location there and explore the southwest a little more next year! 🤞
Now I just have to convince my London landlords for the Airbnbs I have to permanently lower their asking rent to reflect changes in overall London rental market :p
Unfortunately, most of them are probably oblivious to the fact that the policies they support is what ruined California. Lefties tend to be lacking some logical thinking abilities.
We left LA for dallas but not for many of the reasons you’ve mentioned, we Left because we wanted peace, we were tired of the homeless, drugs everywhere and traffic,we live in the metroplex where everything you need is 20 minutes away!!! We do not experience traffic in any way like LA, you can see some traffic closer to Downtown but north it isn’t a problem at all. We also purchased a big home in a great area which in LA it would have been just impossible, also one other reason is, people are sooo Soo nice compared to the rudeness in LA you always experience. All this and believe it or not the cost of living wasn’t the primary reason. I love LA and I will always have a soft spot for LA but, our life here is so much better!
I feel sorry for Texas right now. One of my grandparents grew up in California back in the 50s and is saddened by how bad it has become. The other grew up in Texas (which is where they live right now) and they think they will go through it again.
It's not about the houses it's about the people. I'm an Aussie, CA was an absolute shit pit and Texas was fricken awesome. The people in Texas are gold.
Mom and Dad are buried here (LA). Sis has a gorgeous home in Palos Verdes, and my brother lives and works in No. Hollywood. La Familia - Family is everything. No matter how much others try to reshape the landscape around here with their shlock architecture and woke attitude, we just soldier on.
We lived in Southern California bc my husband is Navy and we HATED it the entire time. The prices are ridiculous, the people are selfish and rude (of course you will find amazing people too), it’s filthy (not human trash but literally dirty everywhere) and the government is insane. They make none sense laws while shelving meaningful ones. They are not a hippie paradise like the propaganda insinuates. My whole family was constantly sick and definitely don’t drink the tap water. I feel “hate” is a strong word but it applies here for me.
That wouldn't be equivalent because she lived in a good part of Texas. So you would have to live in a good part of California and see how much better it is than the best parts of Texas.
@@ibprofinnope8779 "West Hollywood is worse than those places" Uh, West Hollywood is a high class neighborhood. Famously populated by lesbians, but basically by high income people. Have you seen The L Word? It was a fictional show about lesbians living in West Hollywood. I've been there a few times. You don't see any homeless and everyone is intelligent and educated and hates Trump like any intelligent and educated person would. You might be thinking of North Hollywood, that's a lower income area. But yeah, living in West Hollywood for a week would definitely show you how much better we are in California, I agree.
@@euenfheiejrj I lived on Damen, walked to Wrigley Field and to work over by where Hot Doug's used to be...I disagree, it was dirty and the river stunk. But everyone's apex is different. Portland is much worse though. Wasn't always like it is now. Sad :(
@@KingdomOfHeavenPictures yeah I can see how that would be dirty, also near Belmont as well. I lived in lakevew west and it was super clean, as is north center (my current location), but I realize those are very expensive areas. However, the downtown area I find extremely clean, as most other parts of the city. By clean I mean I hardly see any trash at all but of course there's still homeless, etc. When did you live there? It's probably the cleanest city I've seen personally in the US.
I was at the tax office to renew my auto registration, and the majority of the people in the lobby were bad mouthing Texas, and talking about how great California was. There was an older gentleman that turned around in his seat, and said “well if California is so great, then get the fuck out of my state!” Look… if you don’t like it, there’s the fucking door!
@@Xunxunism really? Then What would you call a bunch of leftist socialists from California that fled the state for more capitalism? Would you call them smart? I call them short sighted and fucking stupid. At this point, conservatives are liberal, and the leftists are authoritarian. The parties didn’t flip. The Overton window shifted because the liberals of old became Nazis.

@@Sonwalkers247 Hi, please don’t get offended. Small is just an adjective word to describe the reality. Like Donald Trump, the God of Conservatives, has small hands, small mind and small vocabulary, etc. Whether you are small or not, you can measure it with rules.
Let me out of this channel, why was it recommend to me? I clearly don't belong here as I wouldn't pay more than 150,000 for a (pre-biden) home anywhere. Tip to the youngsters, get a 15 year fixed mortgage if you need one and own a smaller home to keep your costs down and loan down. Use the left over money to enjoy life and save for your nursing care. And remember to set aside money if you need to migrate to South America, or one of the Atlantic islands to get away from the dumpster fire when it gets lit.
That's because all the rich people from California are moving there and doing what they did to California. I am sorry you guys have to deal with them now but this is what capitalism does... it encourages the rich to artificially drive up property prices and kick people out onto the streets... and then relocate those homeless people to ghettos... it's why California has a homeless crisis. The rich absolutely screwed us over... and then they complained about all the problems they caused and left to go do the same thing to Texas.
@@seancakin1469 As always “the blame the rich” thrope. Not the main issue here in California. California is run by progressives or as oppressive regressive progressives as I like to say. They give out all these benefits to the homeless and stop them from having any incentive to stop being homeless leaving them with no responsibility for their lives. So the poor have no reason to stop being poor because they got a free ride and can do whatever they like except something of course which is too expensive. I live here in California and see it all the time. Why should a homeless person on drugs and rebel hearted individual want to be more responsible when sugar daddy progressives have them right where they want them, completely dependent on others and on progressives.🤔🇺🇸
The cities are expensive. The small towns that surround these cities are still really cheap compared to the east or west coast. Texas doesn't have mountains blocking the cities like California does.
Nice video. I wish more Californians would watch it and reach the same decision you did! Sure, it's cheaper to live here, but in California, you have the Pacific Ocean and Disney Land. And mountains. And..... other cool stuff. You didn't stay here long enough to experience tornadoes, hurricanes, droughts, locust plagues, 10-month summers and the thousand other terrible, horrible problems we deal with daily in Texas. Now go have one of those tasty little In-n-Out burgers, the ones the size of a silver dollar.

It’s hard to explain unless you live here a while, but Texas is a state of mind. People are incredibly patriotic about their state. Our children say a pledge of allegiance to the Texas flag in our schools. God bless Texas.
@@graceamerican3558 Wtf was racist about that!? Secession isn’t a racist thing, millions of Texan Hispanics, White people, and Black people would like Texas to be independent.

Lived in Dallas for about 7 years. Eventually moved to NYC for my career. Now contemplating a move to LA. Dallas is def clean. I lived comfortably there. Only real negative is it’s not that convenient in terms of travel. The summer heat is wow. Other than that, no real issues. Great video ❤️
You don’t pay state income tax but the PROPERTY TAX is through the roof!!! My family live in Houston and the traffic is some of the worst in the country!!!
People don’t seem to understand the state government needs to get funding from somewhere….Texas gets there’s from jacking up property taxes and then advertise not having an income tax. They lie through omission.
@@m3driver245 Yeah, that's not exactly how it works. Lying through omission would be pretending people pay more property tax in Texas than California. When you look at the facts it makes the insane looking conditions in California only worse. Trying to compare overall taxes in the two states. Starting with the income tax, Cali is already waaay behind. So people such as yourself propagate this myth that that it all somehow equals out once property taxes are accounted for. Except they're not. In LA for example, property tax is .72% of the appraised value. In comparison to Dallas, where the property tax is .66%. THAT'S ON TOP OF THE ALREADY INSANE STATE INCOME TAX! As if that weren't pathetic enough. The same house will appraise for roughly double in California vs Texas, meaning that an albeit higher .77% vs .66% that Californians are already paying in property tax alone, is even more bonkers when you factor in home prices. Your typical person in Dallas would pay roughly $6,400 in property taxes on a $1m home. That same house would cost someone in LA roughly $15,400 in taxes due to it appraising at $2m. California is screwing it's people over. The smart ones realize this and are leaving. The stupid ones are sitting around and making up bs excuses, and continuing to get f*cked. Don't be in the latter group.
@@peteblackburn7850 I don’t know why my comment didn’t save but you are wrong. Dallas has a property tax rate of .77% not .66%. I don’t know where you got your numbers but I got mine from the Dallas county website. Not only that but Texas also had a a massive budget short fall of $62billion dollars last year, higher than California’s $54billion. And California has rebounded with a $75billion budget surplus this year…Texas is not even close. dallascityhall.com/departments/budget/financialtransparency/DCH%20Documents/Property%20Tax%20History.pdf
Traffic is a HUGE (not minor) reason to leave CA. I was born and raised in southern California. I got 4 hours of my life back each day now that I'm no longer living/commuting in southern California. Those that taut that, "there is just so much more to do" in CA are ridiculous. It takes forever (due to TRAFFIC) to get to your destination and now critically expensive since fuel prices are sky rocketing. When I go back to southern California (kicking and screaming) to visit with family and friends, I'm forever learning that THEY haven't seen each (despite living in the SAME county) other BECAUSE no one wants to sit in traffic OR fuel costs prohibits them from seeing each other on a regular basis. Crazy. I'd hardly call THAT livin'.
People are always happiest in the place where they are not. Once it's no longer new, you will feel the same as you did in California. Many people are looking for a change that makes them happy and that needs to start from the inside in order to be permanent.
Yea but all the personal development videos cant allow you to gaze at beautiful mountains or ocean views where there are none where you live. I feel like that only goes so far
One of the reason Texans say CA people not to move to TX is do not vote the way you did in CA. The way you voted gave way to the failure of laws and politics . Which led to high prices and over regulation . This is the same for New Yorkers moving to the southern states.
Ive never been to Texas and have only lived I Oregon and Florida but I'm well aware that Texas is the greatest (and most valuable) state in the union. God bless you Texans. Don't let your state go to Sh*** and remember that California once was a great state.
@@ab687 I actually live on a remote farm in Iowa. That fact that people think this is utterly insane to me. A farm style house is a beat up, small, remote, old house with white siding. Not these mega mansions in suburbia.
I could only imagine the stress of local professionals that have worked here their entire life and are paid according to the local cost of living are being priced out of their dream homes because people from highly inflated areas (due to high taxes and regulation) are swooping in. 8 out of 10 clients from Cali!?

Born and raised Californian. Lived in Northern, Southern, and central CA. Moved out last year at 26, and there’s no way I’d move back. HOWEVER, there’s NO way I’d move to Texas. I moved to New England. I’m two hours from NYC, two hours from Boston, 30 minutes from the beach, AND the cost of living is still cheaper than what it was in CA. There are actually seasons here. I adore it.
A lot of people get caught up in the city aspect of the north east. There's a lot more than just downtown Boston and Manhattan. There's also mountains and water activities. And the food is good throughout the north east.
As a Texan I am glad you did not move here because I wouldn't be able to concentrate on anything but your pretty eyes and chubby cute cheeks. Now I can get back to business. LOL
So I wanted to add to the realtor guy you had on, when he says people say “Don’t California my Texas” they are referring to voting and taxes. Please don’t come to Texas and vote in the same problems CA and NY are having because of their elected leadership. You touched on this a little but wanted to expand on it.
Totally agree. Kinda wish the Cali and NY people would stay away from Arizona. I don't mean to be rude, but we like it the way it is. Don't vote the same crap in here.
@CarolenGrayToday, yes now we Texans understand Oregon, Colorado once felt the same way. Oregon had signs up about CA please don’t come here & change our conservative traditional towns. It happened and housing went sky high because the wealthy CA folks can afford to pay it. Natives not so much. It Is happening in some cute rural towns here in TX already. I remember we bragged it would never happen in TX. We were wrong.
Jeff Cargile...you're spot on!!! Having grown up throughout CA, I've been in the minority since President Reagan...now that I'm closing in on retirement, I'm of the mindset that CA doesn't deserve any part of my retirement income...which is why I've been visiting other, retirement friendly, states...if Larry Elder unseats Gavin (douchebag), I might actually reconsider and wait it out...we'll see...my vote has been essentially useless here in CA....but I vote...

BEST COMMENT EVER!!!
Lol, you think you be clever but Texas is the Jurassic park of Sam nIEl and LAURA DERN. You hypocrite????????????
As a Texan here’s my issue with Californians moving here. There was a group of super cheap budget apartments my buddy rented and it was a very small space I’m taking barely 500sq ft one bedroom apartment with a cute colorful cottage feel in central texas. One day a young California couple bought the whole place and pained it grey and white with an orange stripe. I guess to make it pop? Before each building was a different color and for the village theme. But the original rent was $425 a month and these guys barely renovated it mostly just repainted the walls and exterior and bumped up the price to $1200. This is a common trend. And now Texans making Texas wages cannot afford it only more Californians moving here and buying more and more property and re selling it for much much higher. We’re seriously fed up with it. Also one of Austin’s most beautiful sceneries the west Austin hills which are pretty and green now being bought up and huge mansions are popping up on them scaring the landscape. Whole forrests and land being turned into condos and overpriced neighborhoods. I’ve seen many Texans moving to Michigan or Ohio to afford a life. It’s really sad. And still they complain and say California is better. The stuck up attitude and snobby behavior is not “chill” it’s disrespectful and Texans don’t like it.
Keep complaining because it will change nothing unless you want New York style rent control. That just makes everything worse. A lot of people complained about cars and railroads because they were loyal to horses. How foolish do they look now?
@@HockeyVictory66 you're correlating people arguing modes of transportation to people arguing cost of living and thus quality of life being severely affected? Yeah, that makes perfect sense dude. LOL my gosh some peoples kids.
@@justaguy653 Again, what you say means nothing. People keep going to Texas for work and cheaper housing and you will learn to live with a higher cost of living whether you like it or not. Whether it be modes of transportation, cost of living, culture etc, you will not be able to stop the change. What level of education do you have and what do you do for a living?
@@HockeyVictory66 I do very well for myself, I’m in the highest tax bracket. What I was saying is that comparing the complaints of railroads to complaints of higher prices of living and thus lower quality of life is not the same. That was my point. To the point in your last comment; Will I personally be affected much from the influx of people moving here? Not necessarily but I’m not incapable of thinking outside of myself and seeing this will be a huge problem for many native Texans. I have friends and family who are looking to buy their first house and they are being outbid at every turn.
You seem like someone who has a cold heart and a cynical mind. Brother, you are just like every other dirt bag these days. This country has enough people like that, maybe try to move against the grain and think about people other than yourself.

But the Bay area is like having 10 Austins all rolled into one. If you like Texas, that is fine, more power to you. For us though, it just has low taxes (though high property ones), big houses... and nothing much else. In the case of Cali, things are more expensive....but sometimes you get what you pay for and we are VERY glad we moved back. Small house and all.
Be sure to be sitting down when you open your property tax bill if you live a town that takes education seriously.
Thanks for sharing. Are there any other day to day thiings you found challenging comparednto LA? They say the novelty of a big, nice home wears off after some time and it wont make up for other values that one holds dear.
The property taxes here in Texas are fucked up, truly 😭 I saw that shit for the first time and had to take a seat. Florida started looking pretty good but then I remembered the insurance I paid there and it basically levels out comparatively
I left New York for Texas 20+ years ago. Leave the politics that caused you to leave where you left.

Thank you both for having good sense, and being freedom loving people

TRUTH .
I'm in western NY now, I'm probably going to have to move to Texas for some more freedom.
As someone who has lived in Texas for 15 years (Austin for 12 and DFW for the last three years) I would say the same problems in CA are migrating to Texas due to Influx of High earners and high levels of income equality. While property is cheaper in Texas then CA, Rent prices are keep going up making to unaffordable for working class people, many parts of DFW and Austin have large homeless populations that keep growing ever year(183 and Cameron). Saving 5% on taxes won't change your life.
What made you moved to dfw? Currently 8 years in Austin.
@@ErickaWilliamsCC have you been to the DFW area? I’m in Frisco and we went to Austin and I couldnt believe it was the same state. Literally turds in the street. You won’t see that anywhere in DFW.
@@parabellum1002 we voted to get homeless from downtown but downtown isn't Austin there is more than 6th street.

How has Texas been a sewer for decades ? And if it is a sewer, why are so many people invading Texas from around the country lol ?
@Iam-doG Iam-miH Or as a California, The people got tired of paying ridiculous sales tax, property tax, State income tax and energy prices highest in the natiion. That is reason enough to move. But since you appear to be a fanboy of California, I would also add freedom to defend yourself, Protection of your property, not getting screwed over by that State when being a landlord, and the most important reason is not having to deal with the crap and piss of homeless people on the side walks and streets. A dare you to deny that Sacramento, LA, San Diego, LA, or the entire San Francisco Bay area do not have this problem. The ONLY THING CALIFORNIA HAS going for it is the WEATHER. However with climate change that is going away.
@Jess Stone Texas, the state that was literally without power for weeks is a shit hole state.

I grew up in Texas and now am having to strongly consider moving because the housing market is just getting ridiculous. Californians beware that you might not be quite welcomed by locals Bc of how much you’re raising the cost of everything here.
Edit: please do not use my comment to hate on all Californians.. I do not hate Californians, I was more speaking on the gentrification of many areas in Texas making the cost of living extremely high and driving a lot of people out. I am not at all telling them to get out or concerned about maintaining our current status as a red state. My warning was for Californians moving here to brace themself for negative attitudes they unfortunately are likely to receive.
Stay in California
keep in mind that many people living in California are not originally from California. Even Shelby is not originally from California. And expect much more inter-state migration of people back and forth as technology evolves and transportation becomes cheaper and communication technologies become better and cheaper. And also expect more people that live in multiple states and who call home more than one state.
Not just that, but they don't see the issue with the way they voted. They will vote blue here and eventually Texas will be a blue state and will be just as terrible as Cali.
We don’t care that they move to Tx but don’t bring with you the things your leaving Cali for.

Austin SUCKS now. It used to be great! It USED to be affordable. More CA people need to stay there. Or go somewhere NOT AUSTIN.
Seeing people have the luxury to move around like this is actually insane
If you’re living & working in California, it’s just a matter of economic fact that you’re paying an exorbitantly higher cost of living but also getting paid according to that COL. So moving is just a smart economic move especially if you can now work remotely at those California companies (or have simply put enough away in savings), not necessarily a luxury per se. Also, there’s nothing “actually insane” about working hard enough & managing your finances smart enough to have the freedom to move or travel. It’s called being a grown-up and making smart moves.
I have moved 10 times, 5 USA states (multi moves ion each state) and Paris, France. Mostly for jobs, but moving does not have to be expensive and if there are more opportunities the move is worth it. After our first move we began to enjoy moving as an opportunity to experience different areas. We are in CA now, but will leave in 1- 2 years and plan to return to North Carolina. CA has outpaced our ability to keep up with the cost.

I’m sorry I don’t mean to be rude but the price of living and the overall Texas economy could be severely affected if an influx of people move from California to Texas. This could cause the price of living and other factors that influence Texas’s economy to change for the worse. So I hope many people moving from California to Texas understand this!
It’s still highly related to policies though. California has among the highest taxes that were spent to nowhere and causing everything to be expensive. They also has the highest gas price which is not quite related to population.
You are right and it has.
The huge influx of Californian's moving to Texas has changed the landscape. Instead of negotiating the price on a house they decided to offer more than the asking price and drive up the house prices, so what was a reasonable priced housing market has gone up ~50% or more (not including the hysteria of the last year). Traffic has become a nightmare because TX highways weren't built to handle this much traffic.
yes it already is AND property taxes are crazy

I am from Fort Worth (near Dallas fyi) and it is crazy to see so many people from California be amazed at our prices because they have actually have gone up like crazy these past years. It is kind of harder to buy a home now for locals since prices have gone up yet we still have a lower minimum wage than California.

The weather is far better in coastal Southern California then it is in Texas which is way too hot from June-October. The only real negative about California is the Fires that burn hundreds(or even thousands) of homes each year.

Unfortunately, California has MANY types of natural disasters. You have earthquakes (I have been in 3 6-pluses), fire, drought, flood (which happens when all of the rain comes at once, in atmospheric rivers), and landslides.

One of the issues with the homeless problem was that Texas actually tackled the problem early on. There was an ex-mayor of Austin who was on a podcast that basically said they had the same issues as LA. But back in the 90s, the mayor of LA decided to kick the can down the road because they didn't have to really deal with the problem. Mainly because by the time it became a real issue they were outta office. While most of the people who were elected to mayors in Austin were mainly local business people who had a lot of incentive to remove the homeless issue.
LA raised taxes to tackle the homeless problem. Austin raised a private fund, headed by the local business that basically paid for the damages made by homeless without the need for paperwork. This made renters more inclined to rent to homeless because damages were covered without the need for excessive amount of paperwork.
@@WildnUnruly It is kinda sad that California makes like $3 trillion(GDP) in 2020. Of that $3 trillion that is taxable 2/3 of it goes to service the state pension for local and state government workers. To give a rough estimate around $268 billion was collected in taxes (in 2010) and the federal government also had to give an additional $76 billion to cover California expenditures. Reason for this massive state pension was in the 90s they made an estimate of how the pension fund would grow based on how stocks and property value kept growing per year. A lot of people believed in the theory of the perpetual growth model. The unions of the local and state workers got smart and made the pension contract ironclad. Meaning if California ever breaks the contract for pensions, they pay close to trillions of dollars.
So this isn't a 'well the rich isn't paying their fair share of the taxes.' This is a California got themselves in a crappy contract. Even if you tax every person in California 100% won't solve the issue that every year California has less money to work with to pay off their yearly expenditures. This is the reason why the state and local government is trying hair-brained schemes like taxing individuals who leave California to about 10 years.
Texas also builds a lot of housing. This contains property prices and makes housing more affordable to low income individuals which decreases the amount of homelessness.
California needs to build A LOT more housing but they have a ton of policies that prevent that so they wind up with ludicrous housing prices and tons of homelessness because they have a 3.5 million unit housing shortage
@@MeGawOOt99 Wow, California actually has been working with budget surplus for quite some time. But when a Republican president comes in and give huge tax cuts to major corporations and those companies don't reinvest their profits back into the state, it creates a vacuum and causes prices to rise in every aspect of the economy.
@@joni1405 You do understand that the majority of homeless people have mental health issues. So they can't work and pay for housing in the first place. Republicans cry for less government which caused the closure of most government funded facilities in the first place. So unless you are willing to open mental health hospitals, and have the staff work for free, and render services for free, the federal government must be involved.
@@ACDC5 You do understand California taxes taken in and expenditures are archived on the internet right?

People in finance and billionaire have been discussing this. The All-In Podcast been discussing this. This has been an issue since the end of the 90s.
There has been a documentary made about the issues of California like the abandoned High- Speed railway project to the State pensions. No one is saying California isn't making a lot of money. It is. Everyone been saying California has been for a long time spending more on expenditures than it been taking in.
On the side note, public companies are not obligated to reinvest their profits back into the state. They take care of the shareholders first via capital gains or dividends to attract more shareholders.
The sad thing is LA and NY has been promoting this internationalist cosmopolitan type thinking. As large companies like Coke cola, they see themselves more international than American. So why invest in a region, if the cost of doing business surpass a certain threshold that you can just move somewhere else?
You can blame the Republicans and Trump all you like. But the matter the fact is the culture of globalization and internationalism mean no loyalty to one's country/ region/ state. Your country increased taxes? Just move to another country since you are likely a duo or tri citizenship of multiple countries. Country is getting invaded? Move to a safer country. As a internationalist, you don't fight wars. Those are for the poor people and people not connected internationally. You finance you're interest via lobbying groups and special interest groups.

People in Texas should be scared of how these people from California vote when they live in Texas. Texas is the way it is because of their conservative values/voting trends. An influx of Californians will definitely change that. As a Californian still living in California due to work, I wish you the best of luck.
Influx of *liberal* Californians. Please stop assuming all Californians are liberal. At least add the *liberal voting* tag to it because that’s what the issue is
most people leaving california are transplants that move over here trying to achieve their "dreams" then do nothing but complain that is expensive living here. yeah its expensive because out of state people keep moving here.
Lol.... that's not why it's so expensive. But you keep telling yourself that. Whatever helps you sleep at night, I say keep it up.

The great thing about The US is that there are 50 states and they each offer something different. I have personally lived in 13 and visited 46. If one state doesn’t work for you, there are 49 others to choose from.
Kind of hard to see what Indiana offers. Yuck.
Can I ask what your favorite state is overall?
Seconded. Please tell us about what you found in each state, good and bad.
@@andrewfreeman88 good question. I really like Massachusetts, Colorado, and California.
@@ankito1129 I like those states too. Vermont and Idaho are really nice. I'm in California but the politics are atrocious.
We moved from So Cal to Dallas more than a decade ago. We didn’t move because it was cheaper. We moved because it’s a much better place to raise a family. CA has become so dirty, scores of homeless people, tons of senseless policies. Everyday living is so much more difficult in CA. We definitely made the right decision.
Actually, the best place to raise a family is Massachusetts!
The same thing's going on in England - in London, before the pandemic it was like everyone wanted to live there; now more and more people want to live in more rural/coastal places like Devon and Cornwall, and both of these things are being reflected in their respective property prices. I'll always love London though as I was born there 😅
You worded this perfectly! Quiet country living is way more desirable now and as more people work from home is much easier to move to the countryside as people don’t need to commute to work places. I’m lucky to live in the south west on the edge of a city so I get the best of both worlds!!
I have a family member who put their house on the market in the New Forest just before Covid lockdown, the first buyers pulled out so come lockdown it was back on the market. It was on the market for £600k, it eventually sold for over £800k. I would never had paid that for it personally, it was a crazy price for what it is. A couple from London wanted it as a second home. He had a ridiculous amount of offers and people fighting over it with the most bizarre offers too, all Londoners wanting to move to the Forest or have a bolt hole. He had bought it to do it up and sell, he gutted it top to bottom & garden, between his improvements and Covid, he made nearly 50% on the price he bought it for just over a year before. (Minus the price of renovations of course) still a property of that value increasing about £400k in a year is unheard pre-Covid.
@@lucysmart6472 That is really ideal! I can kind of relate as I go to uni in Bath - looking forward to hopefully being able to make the most of my location there and explore the southwest a little more next year! 🤞
Now I just have to convince my London landlords for the Airbnbs I have to permanently lower their asking rent to reflect changes in overall London rental market :p

We left LA for dallas but not for many of the reasons you’ve mentioned, we Left because we wanted peace, we were tired of the homeless, drugs everywhere and traffic,we live in the metroplex where everything you need is 20 minutes away!!! We do not experience traffic in any way like LA, you can see some traffic closer to Downtown but north it isn’t a problem at all. We also purchased a big home in a great area which in LA it would have been just impossible, also one other reason is, people are sooo Soo nice compared to the rudeness in LA you always experience. All this and believe it or not the cost of living wasn’t the primary reason. I love LA and I will always have a soft spot for LA but, our life here is so much better!
Poor Texans having to tolerate the woke brigade. Lol
I feel sorry for Texas right now. One of my grandparents grew up in California back in the 50s and is saddened by how bad it has become. The other grew up in Texas (which is where they live right now) and they think they will go through it again.

Mom and Dad are buried here (LA). Sis has a gorgeous home in Palos Verdes, and my brother lives and works in No. Hollywood. La Familia - Family is everything. No matter how much others try to reshape the landscape around here with their shlock architecture and woke attitude, we just soldier on.
We lived in Southern California bc my husband is Navy and we HATED it the entire time. The prices are ridiculous, the people are selfish and rude (of course you will find amazing people too), it’s filthy (not human trash but literally dirty everywhere) and the government is insane. They make none sense laws while shelving meaningful ones. They are not a hippie paradise like the propaganda insinuates. My whole family was constantly sick and definitely don’t drink the tap water. I feel “hate” is a strong word but it applies here for me.
What I'd really like to see is a video where people like this try living in the not so great parts of California for a week.
Spend a week in rough areas of Dallas like Oak Cliff or Houston like the south ward and then tell me it ain't just as bad.

"West Hollywood is worse than those places"
Uh, West Hollywood is a high class neighborhood. Famously populated by lesbians, but basically by high income people. Have you seen The L Word? It was a fictional show about lesbians living in West Hollywood. I've been there a few times. You don't see any homeless and everyone is intelligent and educated and hates Trump like any intelligent and educated person would.
You might be thinking of North Hollywood, that's a lower income area.
But yeah, living in West Hollywood for a week would definitely show you how much better we are in California, I agree.
10:14, "how clean it was". Most Republican run city/states are really clean I've noticed. Dem city/states, not so much. I wonder how Austin is?

Tip to the youngsters, get a 15 year fixed mortgage if you need one and own a smaller home to keep your costs down and loan down. Use the left over money to enjoy life and save for your nursing care. And remember to set aside money if you need to migrate to South America, or one of the Atlantic islands to get away from the dumpster fire when it gets lit.
Texas is getting so expensive specially Austin, everyone is moving out and house/land prices are so expensive
That's because all the rich people from California are moving there and doing what they did to California. I am sorry you guys have to deal with them now but this is what capitalism does... it encourages the rich to artificially drive up property prices and kick people out onto the streets... and then relocate those homeless people to ghettos... it's why California has a homeless crisis. The rich absolutely screwed us over... and then they complained about all the problems they caused and left to go do the same thing to Texas.
@@seancakin1469 I'm seeing people moving here from other states as well. Midwest and Northeastern states.
@@seancakin1469 all the "rich" people are not moving there 😅 lower middle class are 😅
@@seancakin1469 As always “the blame the rich” thrope. Not the main issue here in California. California is run by progressives or as oppressive regressive progressives as I like to say. They give out all these benefits to the homeless and stop them from having any incentive to stop being homeless leaving them with no responsibility for their lives. So the poor have no reason to stop being poor because they got a free ride and can do whatever they like except something of course which is too expensive. I live here in California and see it all the time. Why should a homeless person on drugs and rebel hearted individual want to be more responsible when sugar daddy progressives have them right where they want them, completely dependent on others and on progressives.🤔🇺🇸
The cities are expensive. The small towns that surround these cities are still really cheap compared to the east or west coast. Texas doesn't have mountains blocking the cities like California does.
Nice video. I wish more Californians would watch it and reach the same decision you did! Sure, it's cheaper to live here, but in California, you have the Pacific Ocean and Disney Land. And mountains. And..... other cool stuff.

@@muniemoo “working on”

Prediction- it won’t.
@@m3driver245 Yeah, that's not exactly how it works. Lying through omission would be pretending people pay more property tax in Texas than California. When you look at the facts it makes the insane looking conditions in California only worse.
Trying to compare overall taxes in the two states. Starting with the income tax, Cali is already waaay behind. So people such as yourself propagate this myth that that it all somehow equals out once property taxes are accounted for. Except they're not. In LA for example, property tax is .72% of the appraised value. In comparison to Dallas, where the property tax is .66%. THAT'S ON TOP OF THE ALREADY INSANE STATE INCOME TAX!
As if that weren't pathetic enough. The same house will appraise for roughly double in California vs Texas, meaning that an albeit higher .77% vs .66% that Californians are already paying in property tax alone, is even more bonkers when you factor in home prices. Your typical person in Dallas would pay roughly $6,400 in property taxes on a $1m home. That same house would cost someone in LA roughly $15,400 in taxes due to it appraising at $2m.
California is screwing it's people over. The smart ones realize this and are leaving. The stupid ones are sitting around and making up bs excuses, and continuing to get f*cked. Don't be in the latter group.
@@peteblackburn7850 I don’t know why my comment didn’t save but you are wrong. Dallas has a property tax rate of .77% not .66%. I don’t know where you got your numbers but I got mine from the Dallas county website.
Not only that but Texas also had a a massive budget short fall of $62billion dollars last year, higher than California’s $54billion. And California has rebounded with a $75billion budget surplus this year…Texas is not even close.

Traffic is a HUGE (not minor) reason to leave CA. I was born and raised in southern California. I got 4 hours of my life back each day now that I'm no longer living/commuting in southern California. Those that taut that, "there is just so much more to do" in CA are ridiculous. It takes forever (due to TRAFFIC) to get to your destination and now critically expensive since fuel prices are sky rocketing. When I go back to southern California (kicking and screaming) to visit with family and friends, I'm forever learning that THEY haven't seen each (despite living in the SAME county) other BECAUSE no one wants to sit in traffic OR fuel costs prohibits them from seeing each other on a regular basis. Crazy. I'd hardly call THAT livin'.
People are always happiest in the place where they are not. Once it's no longer new, you will feel the same as you did in California. Many people are looking for a change that makes them happy and that needs to start from the inside in order to be permanent.
Yea but all the personal development videos cant allow you to gaze at beautiful mountains or ocean views where there are none where you live. I feel like that only goes so far
One of the reason Texans say CA people not to move to TX is do not vote the way you did in CA. The way you voted gave way to the failure of laws and politics . Which led to high prices and over regulation . This is the same for New Yorkers moving to the southern states.
I just drove to Texas from California and back...I love California, is what I learned. Nothing like California ❤️
