Why California's population won't stop going down:
• Californians are leaving
Why Americans are working from Bali
• How much I spend worki...
As a Texan no one I s happy about the influx in basic living. All of these California companies moved here because it was cost effective, but because of them and the massive amounts of people moving from California it's become ridiculous. Business want to take advantage of our home but are ruining it.

Lmao
i moved to texas and moved back there no urban culture just a ton of suburban strip malls and its not as beautiful texas sucks and i used to be on the texas train
send those jobs to India ! It will be better for us haha
@@fwefhwe4232 How about no.
In my opinion, a housing market crash is imminent due to the high number of individuals who purchased homes above the asking price despite the low interest rates. These buyers find themselves in precarious situations as housing prices decline, leaving them without any equity. If they become unable to afford their homes, foreclosure becomes a likely outcome. Even attempting to sell would not yield any profits. This scenario is expected to impact a significant number of people, particularly in light of the anticipated surge in layoffs and the rapid increase in the cost of living.
I suggest you offset your real estate and get into stocks, A recession as bad it can be, provides good buying opportunities in the markets if you’re careful and it can also create volatility giving great short time buy and sell opportunities too. This is not financial advise but get buying, cash isn’t king at all in this time!
@@bernisejedeon5888 You are right! I’ve diversified my 450K portfolio across various market with the aid of an investment coach, I have been able to generate a little bit above $830k in net profit across high dividend yield stocks, ETF and bonds.

What did people expect? This happens everywhere they go. Nashville, Denver, Portland, Seattle, Austin, etc… it’s like they’re on a crusade to make every city unaffordable 😂

don’t blame the worker bee, blame the queen bee
Capitalism at work
It’s almost as if the problem is structural and not because of a particular state. Maybe the problem is the commodification of home ownership, not a particular state but how rules are written.
Locusts
I'm a native Texan, lived in the DFW area most of my life and within the last 3 years I get weekly calls and text messages from aggressive real estate agents offering to buy my property sight unseen. It's ridiculous. The worst ones have been from people asking about my parent's property in East Texas. Aggressive, demanding and impatient. Out-of-state investors are driving up property values and rent. Honestly, I hope they all go bankrupt and we can go back to normal. My home is paid off but I can't sell it and move because I can't afford to.
Make then an offer that they reject 😂
Don't answer the phone. Screen calls.
Same, my parents live by Balch Springs and got an offer of 250k for their house that they bought for 70k in the late 90's. I was looking to move into some new Seagoville homes and they were between 300-400k, that is insane.
My parents bought our house brand new in 2004 for 160k now it’s worth just north of 400k in lake worth, TX. They’re going to retire by the end of the year and they’re hoping to take 380-390k from it clear.
Texas is truly becoming the next California.
you and me both - A californian that has been dealing with this for decades bc millions of ppl from texas and other states have been moving here
The Texas property tax increase is freaking rediculous
The reason taxes go up is that we the citizens of Texas are supported Thier ugly vampires faces.
Without state income tax, Austin has to get their money some how.
@Moon Shine looks like Texas is truly becoming like California
Just leave the California socialist liberal ideology and overly regulated business practices outside Texas borders and we’re good 👍
Thanks to the Californians 🤮
As a Houstonian all my life it’s not only Californians moving here it’s literally the whole country you can’t get on the freeway here without seeing plates from every state here I miss the old Houston pre hurricane Katrina
Born and raised in Houston and I’m 44. I like the growth. What I don’t like is the city leaderships total disregard of adapting to the growth. How are we the 4th most populated city in the country with small town public transportation among many other things.
I hear you Ridge. I hear you.
@@piglet7943 nah tbh I don’t like the growth I’m younger than you are and can remember going to the astrodome or certain places in the city and you would bump into relatives or friends the old town feeling is long gone ..within the next 5 to 10 years Houston WILL be the next LA .traffic 24/7
Crime thru the roof ,soft on crime ,homeless everywhere,expensive housing etc.the ONLY thing that separates us from Cali is our strong oil and gas industry that is the spine of our city and now liberals are trying slowly change that .
@@RIDGEMONTG I don’t care for a small and old town feeling. If you want that I would definitely move out of Houston if I were you. I live in a city and want Houston to feel like a real city. And yes I can tell that you are younger than I am if you are claiming that Houston’s crime is through the roof. You must have not been around in the 80’s and early to mid 90’s whenever crime was SO bad that we even had a new segment on channel 26 called city under siege. Back then there were some houston neighborhoods that were so bad that cops didn’t even go in there solo. That’s not the case anymore. As far as homeless where are they at because I don’t see a lot of homeless like you claim. Want to see a lot of homelessness? Go travel around the country and we will see what real homelessness looks like.
The old Houston is long gone.
I'm a 6th generation Texan. It used to be inexpensive to live here. Now, developers & investors have ruined the inexpensive housing & utilities.
There are so many people here now from all over the US the employment/economy has changed.
It's terrible.
Mmmm like a system in place that favors money than people lives …
6 generation Texan means your ancestors lived what was then Mexico?
@@strongtowerman9661 very ignorant and lame response
I just left Conroe and moved to the Philippines. I've owned 5 houses in Texas starting in '84. Wished I could have hung on to them. Can't afford Texas anymore. 🥺
@@strongtowerman9661 Yes
I don't mind the Californians moving in as long as they don't vote for the same policies that made them move out of California.
You mean neoliberal economic policies that put corporations above actual people? Cuz that’s the actual problem, and that is everywhere in this country.
Most of them are moving for the job. When the companies move they normally will give employees the choice to relocate or quit. Depending on your job description, the choice will be relocate, NOT that you hate California. Of course there are people leaving California because they don't like it there, just as any other state. People move for all kinds of reasons.
Well that's a tricky one to answer. Most of the people who are moving out of Cali are doing so due to living expenses. But those living expenses are typically unbearable because they're not established, they don't own a home, they don't have significant savings, i.e. all of the things that correlate with low political engagement and trouble with voting.
The thing is, the problem in California, as a Californian, is political pretty agnostic. Astonishingly we have liberals AND conservatives here, and the one thing the reliable voters of both parties can agree is to not do anything meaningful about the housing crisis.
And I suspect Texas is going to find that the same is actually true in Texas. It hit California first because of our geography. Cities generally grow at certain locations for a reason. Cali's big cities, LA, San Fran, and (to a less extent) San Diego all budded up around ports and transit hubs. But for instance, LA is constrained by the hilly terrain of the LA basin (this is also the reason we're big on emission standards, the basin traps particulates which means, we need strict emissions standards so we can breath) which means that as the city sprawled out, it rapidly ran out of room to easily grow.
Texas' big cities had more flat terrain to sprawl out onto but . . . geometry rears its ugly head. The more you the grow, the further and further the periphery gets from the jobs that are attracting people to the city, and the state, in the first place. At some point just adding more housing at the outer perimeter isn't eough. So while your big cities were able to outrun this problem for a while . . . they're now getting hit with the same problem with a slightly different cause.
Unfortunately, while we're mirrors of each other, Texas is Negafornia and California is Negaxas? I think the one thing we have in common is that our own respective reliable voters don't really want to rethink urban planning in our respective states. At most the cities are probably just going to try and slam up more 5 over 1 apartments as a top gap.
Well, that's just my thoughts. All I can tell you is, hold onto you butt, it's not going to get less ridiculously any time soon.
They swarmed north Idaho. Tried to wedge commies into the CDA school board, library, city council and mayors office. We also had our first pride parade last year. Good luck
Hahaha, they will bro because they are brainwashed from the birth. 😂😂
As a 5th generation Californian I can totally relate! My town went from quaint and affordable a couple of decades ago and as tech boomed population our town doubled in size and homes quadrupled in price.
same with Chinese coming over and buying up Irvine and Lake Forest and other cities
Thank you! As a Texas natives, we already feel the effects.
It’s happening in my small town houses we’re 300k now there 600k for a started home
Californians like you need to change Texas and make like California! Protest at schools so they can have homo books for kids and teach Texans about global warming!
It’s happening everywhere… northern Virginia has never exactly been affordable, but it is now out of reach for a lot of millennials looking to start families
I lived in Austin 7 years ago. A nice condo was $850-900. Now the same condo costs almost $1,800-2000 and keeps getting expensive
YEP. A nice apt in a nice area like Parmer was 750. 5 years later (2019ish), it was double that.
Fucking Californians.
@Nean Der Thal why would you post your town? Now the horde will come there
Still cheaper than cali 😂😂😂
I once had a conversation with a lady who lives in Colorado. She says that for $1350 she pays for a one bedroom apartment, with kids! I told her about my house that I bought in 2015 in a city in Texas and I only pay $673 a month; has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms (well now it's $770 because insurance prices have gone up everyhwere). The lady gasped 😂
Can't stop won't stop
It’s not just in Texas. Californians moving into other states has caused the real estate for locals to rise considerably and driving out many people who have lived there for decades or even into homelessness. It’s disgusting
Seems everyone wants to blame everything on California people relocating it's not just them people from blue state are moving out due to taxes and crime hopefully they can remember the political party that made what they are running from and change the voting habits but sorry to say they probably won't .
Rich Democrats have a lot of savings, wealth, and buying power.
And many come back
Californians are not twisting your arm to raise the prices on the homes. You greedy sellers are the problem.
@@jennywinter3025 good, they ruined their own state they can stay there. They need to stop going to other states unless they assimilate. Don't need Californians ruining other states like they did their own with their idiotic policies.
Born and raised SoCal. I truly understand the frustration that Texans feel as I’ve watched much of California go from affordable to outright unaffordable in the last few decades. I love the state of Texas, and I truly feel for the locals there, big tech ruins a lot of good things.
Good news is, if we can pass enough conservative stuff, the cali's will have to either meet us were we are, or head on back.
I get a little smile of hope every time I see an Cali posting that they left.
Please, please go. Go fix your state's problems. Don't drag them to us.
@@tylr3669what conservative stuff do you want to buttress Californians? You already completely control the state? What power is some Californian taking from you? This is what you wanted.
If you can't beat 'em, join em 😂
I moved to Texas in 1995 and I loved it as a teen it was real country. I lived in San Antonio and Texas culture was everywhere. When I moved out of there in 2015 it did not feel like Texas anymore it was overcrowded and all the rural land was being sold and stuff being built everywhere.
I bought land just in time for my city to surge in size. It's a mile out as the crow flies.
Thank to the Californians 😡
@@waterislife5109 Cal didn’t do anything until 2017- present …….
Is San Antonio a good place to move for family?
Ive no doubt in my mind San Antonio was a fine place, with this and that happening. I left for the same reasons and even visiting it is agonizing. The city is 5-10 degrees hotter than anything in a 40-minute drive radius. The city’s roads and freeways are too retarded and compromised and few in number to handle as many commuters and visitors as there are. Now all it is is a dead end shit hole, where 1 in every 3 people is high on weed or on probation or close to going to jail. Obesity is rampant too. Ive been everywhere and this is easily the most stressful place in America even more so than Houston, though not having the health-undermining qualities of Houston
ugh. I feel for Texas! but I must say as a native California who really does want to leave, this is been happening to us my whole life! everybody has always wanted to move to California and it has driven our rents up dramatically. It is sad when locals can't afford to live where they were raised. Unfortunately, that is the reality for so many of us these days, no matter where we are
Then don't leave stay in California
if the zoning laws in cali werent so strict it wouldnt be as much of a problem because they would have kept up with demand. texas is actually working to meet the demand by building more
Yeah I was born and raised in Silicon Valley and there’s no way I see myself owning a home here anytime soon. I’m gonna have to move to central California where there’s nothing to do, and houses are still 500k. 😕
The problem in California is also due to bad policies. They have too many stupid regulations that restrict people from building homes and as a result driving the price of homes.
@@TwoCents2023 Single family zoning laws is what's the biggest factor here in the "housing shortage".
I moved out of Texas last year because it's getting too crowded and property tax is just super high.
It's not same no more in Texas,?
Where did you go ?
where did you move to?
Hahaha she isn't gonna tell you guys! Why? So you can move there too!?? 🤦♂️🤣🤣🤣
@@e5toro7008 😂 smart 🤓
As a Californian I'm never leaving California. Your welcome.
Native Californian here,Lived in Texas 10 years..the best part of Texas is the NewMexico state line when headed west bound…you’re welcome X2.
Thank you for staying where you are please come to Texas with nets and drag the rest back as well they’re annoying. This Mexican would be forever grateful
I agree. I've spent lots of time in TX. Austin is great, but people in the rest of the state and the politics there suck. Great to visit, but there's no chance I'd ever live there.
You'll leave when your electric bill is more than your taxes and mortgage and you cant back you car out due to the human crap, needled and homeless blocking the way..
California is a gorgeous state. Just beautiful. Texas... well there's cattle here and some cities where it is ridiculously hot in the summer.
When the Texas summer decends upon these new folks, they're in a one HELL of a shock. Texas summer heat is absolutely punishing.
Especially Austin heat. It stays in the 100s for months 😂😂
Well it's April now so they should start feeling the TX summer heat in a week or so. Then when when August gets here they'll start examining their life choices. :D
Mosquitos, droughts, Excessive heat, Hail, tornadoes, Traffic, Humidity. Hope they're ready 🌚
I call it the 100/100 syndrome….100+ days of 100+ degree weather..All that state income tax they don’t pay goes straight to utility bills.
@@leeg578 Thats not so different from Southern Cali and even Northern Cali outside the Bay Area breeze
Texas' fate is to become more like California as demand and supply issues apply to it too
California is unique, (((hollywood))) has tons of leverage. The reason they moved is the talent pool is demographically advantageous.
Leave your commie politics at the border.
Californians like you need to change Texas and make like California! Protest at schools so they can have homo books for
Well maybe not. I'm not from Texas but I drove through as a kid with my family. It's a very flat place but I remember some mountains but no where near the amount in California. So it's flat & not directly on the coast, Austin anyways. That means you can build more and Texas has loose zoning regulations so probably quicker too. California has major population centers in small valleys near the coast and has the most restrictive zoning and regulations.
One thing that people are not thinking about is that a large percent who have accepted these mandatory shots will not be here anymore probably within 5 years or sooner across the US and that will free up homes and apartments to become available. These poor folks are walking the earth like ticking time bombs not knowing when it will go off and not realizing when their number is up. 😢
Im a native Texan and I hate it here now - the taxes, traffic, mean drivers, housing cost… Im done. We have no state tax BUT now our property taxes are going sky high so there’s really no difference and its ruined Austin. Oh, and we never got to vote on this…Oh, and the state is now running out of water. I make 90k and luckily own a home, but couldnt afford one in Dallas or Austin anymore, which is crazy.
L*berals were incredibly dumb in settling so many people in a desert state like California. Texan and Arizona were controlling their population and balances for all this time, but now, when Californians ruin their state, they're going to other states by uncontrolled numbers.
Resources can't keep up with the population and demand, and throwing more money (higher taxes) won't solve that problem.
I’d be concerned about the water. My relatives in San Antonio Texas are talking about that in the aquifer.
You make less than six figures, so you are “poor” according to Bay Area, CA standards.
It doesn’t pay to get mad at migrating Californians just trying to survive. It pays for us to unite and regulate investment real estate profits and private home sale prices.
Housing is not an investment, it’s a public utility.
90k is Super Rich.
@@John.Flower.Productions I’m rich enough to live easy in California. So in my case if for some reason I wanted a cheaper deal I could just move to Texas too.
But that screws over local Texans as covered in the video.
Your self-defeating snippy attitude against any class consciousness is not good for you or America.
It’s weird how thoroughly the average people have apparently been brainwashed to hate themselves in this country.
You can have capitalism and regulation. Your choices are not suffering or communism.
As a Californian who moved to Austin a year ago, ignoring that it's basically too hot to be outside for 4 months out of the year leaves out a huge factor when considering whether to make the move. Frankly, given the already high property prices, I would look to other states for a overall lower COL and better quality of life.
austin is nicer than houston in the summer.
Dallas Ft. Worth temperatures are downright miserable!
Yeah y’all had summers in California a lot better than here. The summers here are brutal. Oklahoma has ocean front property very cheap. Lololol.
You better not vote blue
@@luketanker6074 of course I vote liberal.
This is why I moved back to California. I saw Texas changing into something else. If I wanted to live in California I’d actually live in California
I feel California by the end of the decade will be more desirable place to live over the South. The biggest advantage the South had for decades over California was very low cost of living. I think the South will become as expensive as California by the end of the decade. When cost of living is equal everywhere then it makes no sense to pick a backwards place as the South over California.
@Doctor X You're not far off. Charleston, Nashville, Austin, Atlanta, Houston, Charlotte......They're no where near as cheap as they used to be.
@@Mj-kb6ig I grew up in Raleigh it used to be super cheap. I see houses down here that were 100K when I was growing up that are now 400K. Rent used to be super cheap down here but isn't anymore. This pattern holds true throughout the whole entire South from what I have seen.
@@billycunningham4076 anybody who moved to the south is usually from the North or the West coast. If anything, I think you guys made the south better culturally but overall, it's still a pretty backwards place.
I also moved to Raleigh way back in '94 from Boston at the age of 11. So, I have a good grasp of how the area has changed over the years. Housing has gotten a lot more expensive. There are crappy houses that went for 80K during the '90s that are now valued at 400K.
Culturally during the 90's Raleigh was racist, xenophobic, and filled with a bunch of religious zealots. It was also very conservative. Wake County used to be a strong republican county up until 2008. That gives you an idea of how much different it was back then. Culturally living in Raleigh during the 90's was the equivalent of living in a shithole like Birmingham, Alabama.
Raleigh has changed a lot since then culturally and I give a lot of the credit to people who have moved down here and made it a more accepting place for people of different races, religions, genders, sexual orientations, etc.
I have travelled all over the country, but I have to say the South is still more backwards compared to the rest even with all the transplants that have moved down here.
@@doctorx1924 California will be Mexico in the next decade. It will be 10% mega rich whites and 90% Mexicans/south americans. And then yeah it will be much more affordable and desirable as long as the crime isnt too bad.
And then they’ll rise prices in Texas. Same old story 😅
Austin's average home price is 554,655, making it unaffordable for locals and only 30 percent cheaper than california
Prices in Austin have seen a rise
Texas has a lot more space to build, plus less regulation. With the recession, prices will cool off. The high property taxes are probably the biggest issue, but I think for the rest Texas will adapt much better!
Atlanta home prices are going up as well. I think it’s more expensive than Dallas.
An bring their politics!! 🤬
California prices without the California weather, vibe or scenery
smh wild.
Exactly. This ain't sustainable. No one is moving to Texas because they like Texas. They're moving because it's cheaper to buy a house and eat at restaurants. If $$$ was no object or prices were the same everywhere...Cali would probably get picked over Texas by most people.
The weather in California isn’t all the same. We moved from California to Texas years ago and think the weather is nicer where we live now compared to where we were in California.
Where in California is the weather worse than Texas? Texas has hurricanes, thunderstorms, and occasional winter storms where entire highways and cities are frozen over. Yeah, the Bay area & Northern Cali can get foggy/rainy with snow in the mountains during the winter/early Spring...but that's still better than TX. The only way weather in Texas is better than Cali is if you're leaving the Inland Empire or Central/Eastern Cali and moving to somewhere near the Gulf like PA or Galveston. And that's a strong maybe.
I know right. TX seems boring as hell, too.
@@jukio02 definitely boring. Nobody needs to come here
It almost brings me to tears. Keeps me up at night. I am an 8th generation Texan. And ready to buy my first home. Sadly... I can't afford it. Because local people that work local jobs don't make as much as these people with tech jobs. Working from home with a California salary.
Malorie, the tech jobs are not enough of them to justify the price hikes, I would wait a bit, they will come down from the stratosphere soon.
Not only that…. They are gonna being horrible horrible politics. And musk is a con man he’ll never deliver on his promises
Ya it’s a shame. I’m right up north god I hope they don’t come to Oklahoma
No employers are adjusting the salaries accordingly. So they don‘t exactly get same CA salary.
I feel you. They destroyed cali and now they are destroying every other good state
One thing many people(Texans included) don't seem to get is that while Texas is massive, not all of its land is suitable for cities or even small but thriving towns. I lived in Lubbock for 2 years, and driving from fort worth to Lubbock during every college break, you really see what a lot of land looks like. its barren. dry dusty sandstone and dirt, hardly any rain ever, no natural lakes or aquifers(other then the one in Lubbock) so while you see all this development in the Texas triangle, many people see that over half the state is just small farm towns, waiting to have big city money move in, but the problem is that unless we want a bunch of Phoenix Arizonians sitting in the middle of nowhere Texas, the state can really only handle big deployment in that Texas triangle area, and its already reaching its limits if it wants to stay a good area to raise a family
TEXAS OUR TEXAS, OH HAIL THE MIGHTY STATE. WISE UP, BOY....
@@buckbuckner3505 ?

@@overemployed_0079 well thats what I said, houston to dallas is apart of the texas triangle. lubbock tho is supported by an aquifer
Yep, there is a reason west texas isnt populated
Yup, I'm a multi-generation Texan. And people and business are being pushed out by economics, crime, and politics. You can not make it on only 1 income @ $20 per hour. Dallas and Austin areas are NOT recognizable. The culture is noticeably different in the city centers, as natives are having to move to the outskirts of the counties or into neighboring counties. Once used to be Rural roads are quickly turning into Highways.
If people and businesses move here, please stop raising the cost of everything. We ain't all making money on Onlyfans.
Its happening Everywhere..the crime migrants taking over in Ca
What do you think happened to California? Supply and demand don’t care if your democrat or a republican state.
No one's saying anything about the companies that aren't raising wages to keep up with cost of living and are keeping those profits instead of allowing us to live a decent life, like a one income household like the 50-60s.
I make $20 an hour and I'm able to afford my three bedroom house no problem. It's a mortgage too and I'm the only bread winner in the house. Three dog, three cats and six chickens, no problem.

Being born and raised in Austin, I remember when my hometown was just a hidden gem during my childhood. Now as a college student, I can’t see my future self living there nor do I even recognize my own hometown when I come back for holiday. It’s changed in a bad way, nowadays the phrase “keep Austin weird” is like a business slogan for any big tech companies wanting to move to Austin. It feels like there’s no appreciation for the original Austinites.
Sorry, man.
Been fucked up that’s why
There's no way in heck to keep construction rates to match the growth. Austin is nuts now.

@@Francis.Rivers well austin is the portland of texas
Don't blame California. No one was complaining in the 70s, 80s, 90s, when everyone was moving to California.
I truly miss the old Texas but that is no more. I am finishing my second degree then I'll be heading out. I honestly cannot see myself affording a house in the state I loved. Shoot, I can barely afford a decent apartment in Houston. The crime has also gone up tremendously.
What state is more affordable than Texas?
@@Kahoobbplenty. Life is not always about affordability, for me it's happiness.
@@Kahoobb Alabama, Mississippi, and Arkansas are all way more affordable. My folks back home in Alabama would be living in a mansion for what I'm paying in Houston
I Miss the Old California..B 4 the dems Ruined it
Well yeah it makes sense that the crime has gone up because Texas is now being overpopulated which will have more people to cause crime not to mention robberies are also probably going to occur more because people can’t afford anything anymore.
House prices in Florida has gone up as well. Due to people moving from other states.
That's what happened to the west coast. This is why you can only be the 'fastest' growing state for a short bit.
Miami beach the best 🇺🇸💪🏻
Everyone blames everyone from other states 😂 but people are “leaving California in droves” but housing still goes up
I personally don’t like when people say “I moved from California” I immediately want to throw up or slap them for ruining Texas..
@@tybarker5038 It's actually been dropping since early 2022. The population decline only started in 2020. Lots of people moving out but lots of people moving to California, especially immigrants. And the places seeing population decline are poorer neighborhoods which many of the white collar immigrants are not buying in.
this is how it starts.., when biotech and pharmaceutical firms started moving to San Diego… you can’t compete on homes with someone, when the salary disparity is that large. They start buying in select areas, usually reasonably close to the workplace.., then they start moving to more areas, once they learn more about the city and surrounding area, and suburbs.. sooo
Yep. All these numb nuts think it was something about California that was wrong and not the fact that population growth was out of control. People migrating from other states. Same shit happening in Texas now. Good luck! Y’all come back now ya hear!😂
We moved from Los Angeles to Houston almost 3 years ago. As a family of 4 we couldn’t effort to move from 1bdr to 2bdr living in CA. We bought a 4bdr house in Sugar Land after 2 years of our move to Texas. And we know so many people moved from CA to TX in the past 3 years. We can’t be more happier. Not only housing is affordable, everything else is great too. It’s diverse, so many options to eat out, just in general it’s a great place to live and raise family. Love TX and love it’s people ❤

I grew up in SA and would spend my weekends in highschool (2011ish) going up to Austin for events and concerts with my friends. Very sad to see the changes since then.
This is exactly what happened to the Bay Area
They heard you were in short supply of weird, so they showed up!
hahahahahahaha " texan " ahahahaha
As a Georgian. This happened to us too. So I’m just living with my mama rent free. Thanks mom. I’m a failure in life because I can’t afford a place but clearly neither can anyone else. And they’re all just faking it like life is sweet. It’s expensive as hell out here and I’m tired.
As a Georgian who still lives in that state, I agree with this comment.
Yes I remember people moving to Atlanta specifically in droves.

North Carolinian here. We're right behind you; we got so many NY'ers, NJ'ers, DC'ers, Pennsylvanians, and Marylanders coming in. It's sickening. Downtown 2BR apartments in my city are going for $1,400 a month with the influx of new arrivals.
@@Kwaj You know what I just thought about… the new arrivals will have to get used to the North Carolina prices and cost of living and have to find jobs in North Carolina that won’t pay as high as the cities they were coming from, so eventually those prices in NC from apartments etc will have to go back down.
Exit polls over the last few years consistently show that, if only Texans born in the state voted, Texas would be a light blue state. The newcomers, many of which do not come from California, are the ones keeping the state in the Republican column. Sometimes it’s easy to blame the change you can most easily see (new people), and not look toward the changes that are harder to see (shifting party platforms, people changing their minds).
Sad to see this happening to Texas.
Extremely sad. I’m leaving the entire country. No hope here anymore.
@Bo Didley "increase government spending, increase taxes" Things that are required as places get more congested and urbanized. Big cities are complex organisms that need much government oversight. Something a small town, country boy like you wouldn't understand.

Texas will not stay Red forever. Texas will eventually become a Blue State because demographics is destiny. Hispanics, Asians, African Americans as well as White Hipsters from Blue States who are attracted to Austin because of Richard Linklater films and tech jobs!
@krnpowr that's bs. As a project manager. Having done work for the government. We make a killing because we can charge whatever we want and they pay us. Toll roads in texas are built 20X faster because they work more efficiently. Increasing taxes doesn't accomplish anymore but put more money into corporations. I say this because the company I work for takes advantage of this on a daily basis. Why charge them what the work is worth when we can charge 10X the amount of money and waste resources and time. That's why we always reject toll road contracts because we don't make as much money. We denied the 99 loop project because we were going to miss out on 400million dollars we are making on other freeways taking more time.

It's so sad to see the growth around San Antonio and Austin. Growth is good, but when you can't sustain it because it is too fast, it hurts everyone. New Braunfels is one of them. Being right on I35, the growth is tremendous. The sad part is that this town is losing it's identity as a German Town, not only from Austin and San Antonio but outsiders. This German identity is what really sets it apart from other cities on I35. Natives are leaving and newcomers don't see it for what it once was but the convenience New Braunfels brings to the table. The truth is though that the specialness is gone and people are forgetting what makes New Braunfels, New Braunfels. It's now nothing but a suburb of San Antonio filled with acres of housing divisions, destroying the land faster than they can replenish it.
What Austin? If you love Dallas or Houston, then you will love Austin.
Hmm no wonder why my cousin married a German lol (she’s a CA native, got a scholarship for Odessa Texas, then met a guy.) they now reside in New Braunfels
The irony of a German american complaining about the city losing its "native culture"
This has been happening in California for decades so people blame us for something we've had to deal with. A bunch of transplants have invaded Cali for a long time with no end in sight. It sucks that Texans have to deal with this but it's not new here. It's a nationwide problem anyway not just a California Texas issue.
From Dallas born and raised. When I was in high school (2017/2018), all my teachers told me by the time I graduate college the cost of living is gonna double if not triple. And here we are, 5/6 years later, they were absolutely correct. It’s great that people from Cali get more bang for their buck, but for those of us used to the cheap prices, it sucks cus now we gotta pay more cus everyone else is ok with paying more😂My first one bedroom was $825 a month and that same one bed room is now $1300…shit is ridiculous now
It can get far worse. I live in Vancouver and 10 years ago I paid $800 a month for a small apartment. Today that apartment costs almost $3000 a month. Insane.
Buccee’s sandwiches are $9 now. We truly live in a wicked world
Same with my apartment in fort worth 2 years ago it was $900 and now that same apartment is $1300
@@Sc00terNut At least your state made sure to increase pay as well. Texas hates its locals ($7.25 min wage) but loves transplant money.
Have you also read what happened in Mexico City? Some California freelancers moved to the Roma neighborhood in that city because everything is extremely cheap for them, but at the same time prices have gone up for the locals and even they get fed up. It can happen anywhere.
As a Texan who lived in California at one time, I am disgusted. This migration has stripped any hope of homeownership in my home state. Thanks 😢
For what do you need home anyway?Why are you all so obsesst with homes?
Yep. There headed This way by the Thousands as we speak. bidens voters
capitalism at work
No it's because you're broke and lack work ethic. Tons of people are buying homes, just not lazy crybabies.
You kinda did the reverse thing to California no?
Reading all the comments and I can't believe how hypocritical everyone is being. Californians are leaving because they got priced out, they move to Texas and they get treated like shit. Why? In 5-10 years, it'll be Texans moving to Oklahoma or whatever state is the cheapest, and they'll be the ones being treated like shit by the locals. All the while nobody is even talking or addressing the root of the problem. Some people get close, but never dig deeper. Yes, it's tech workers with a lot of money. They have enough money to outbid the majority of Americans for housing. But that's only because most of the housing we build is single-family detached homes that are enormous!
We don't build starter homes anymore, we don't build duplexes, we don't build townhomes. The missing middle housing is making it so the only housing available are tiny studio apartments or ginormous single family homes. Where are the homes to cater to the rest of the buyers who want something else and can't afford a SFH? Worst of all, the people moving away from California as well as the locals fail to see this problem and will advocate for policies that RESTRICT housing! During a crisis level housing shortage, that is criminal! If Texans don't begin to support pro-housing policies, cities like Austin will be the first to go. We're seeing it already, but you ain't seen nothing yet if we don't build more housing!
We are Texans that actually moved to California. No regrets it was in the early 80's and we paid 83 thousand for this house now in city center and now worth 559 thousand. Thanks to prop 13 our property taxes are under $2000.00
That’s gross - I’m an ambassador of Texas and by the power vested in me by the red dirt and the blood of my ancestors spilt for this land I revoke your Texas citizenship- you are hereby a yankee - if you are to return home in the eyes of Texas you will be a stranger. 👨⚖️
As a native Texan it is not cheap anymore, the housing is much more expensive especially the property taxes. The average pay for an average worker is really cheap and they can no longer afford their home state and if they rent an apartment, they still paying way too much on a smaller salary.
My sister has lived in Texas for 15 years and I’ve been visiting her for that long. I don’t get it, I really don’t. I highly dislike Texas. There’s nothing there, little to nothing to do, other than shop. No income tax but property tax and property insurance cost is INSANE, humid af, flat and boring, dirt everywhere. I feel like all these people moving there have been scammed 😂.
1) There are people that like warm weather. At least, prefer hot weather over cold weather.
2) Austin is not flat. It has beautiful rolling hills.
3) Texas is a lot more business-friendly than some of the more “established” cities like NYC, Chicago, LA and SF.

Texas seems to be dedicated to replicating the freeways and sprawl that made so much of California unaffordable and unlivable.
Don't get me started on Elon moving Tesla HQ - he should've taken it to Detroit. One of the best moves Netflix did was moving their HQ from the literal middle of Silicon Valley to the literal middle of Hollywood, which sent the message "we are no longer 'big tech', we are a STUDIO!" Tesla in Detroit would send the same message, that they're getting serious about being an automaker by moving to the traditional center of the auto industry (and also a place with actual cheap property and low CoL).

I just turned 50 years old. As a Californian generationally, I was just of the edge of the tech boom, rode the real estate wave. From renting out every room in the house to tenants in an Oakland/Albany garage home / condo / TIC to just being able to afford something in the 2007 crash to barely being able to afford a home back in the City. Financially it was a massive sacrifice and for what? All my friends have left California. The one's that did stay are living with their parents at 50! The middle class are being eliminated. They just had a cash give-away a middle class tax relief credit card. Are you kidding me?
I'm actually your age. Sucks to be poor and/or uneducated, bro. You need to be making at least $150k/year to live in the Bay Area and buy a home. If you're not doing that, you'll need to continue living with your parents until you find a better job. that's really a shame and burden on your parents too. You almost make it sound like it's "California's" fault that you can't buy a home here - it's your fault for not making enough money. Take some personal responsibility for your financial failures and do better.
Life long Austin native. It's getting absurdly expensive. Everyone i meet is from NY or Ca.and i ask why they moved, and most say " we just wanted a change and decided to move here" like wtf did someone mail out a bunch of brochures saying all your dreams will come true in Austin! I meet 1 native Austinite for every 20 ppl. Its sad

Same thing in Houston. Everywhere I go I meet people from California and New York. The appeal and incentive to move to Texas is gone. It’s not cheap here anymore.
Sorry have to laugh. In the last few years as people were leaving California and heading for Texas people from Texas were gloating and mocking California. We, who were from California or who had lived a long time in California even if we left later, tried to warn them. I live in Reno, was raised in Marin County, just across the GG Bridge from San Francisco, and moved to Reno in 1976. I don't recognize Reno anymore.
Heck, people in WACO were pissed with Chip and Joanna Gaines for bringing in too many tourists to the Silos and raising real estate prices. Texas, you ain't seen nothin' yet.
It doesn't seem to me that Texas is, at this point, the kind of state where wages will keep pace with costs. The people the tech companies bring in are paid what they made in California and as the shysters raise rents they will say "well they are coming from California, they are used to that". We are getting MORE Tesla here. We all ready have the battery factory, so now the are building a place to build their trucks.

And, they come to Texas and put on a cowboy hat and take pictures to me it is insulting. Same happens in Nashville come out on a cowboy hat and get sloppy drunk and essentially make fun of locals.

Also Texans: These businesses are moving here and it's causing everything to go up! wtf?
The cognitive dissonance is pretty funny. As someone living in a low pop/low dev flyover state, it amuses me when people, particularly on the right side of politics, encourage people to move to red states because of generally more forgiving taxes or ease of doing business. These states have done everything to posture themselves as business friendly that very liberal companies and their employees have begun altering the political landscape. It's no wonder Georgia flipped blue in the last election.
This trend is a perfect example of how people care much more about the economics of living than issues like gay marriage, gun ownership, and abortions. Most of those Californians moving to texas will claim they care about those issues. This is manifestly not true.

I think people will eventually move around. America's population growth is beginning to slow and as people go from state to state, city to city hopefully it will begin to slowly balance out.
It all depends on perspective, the last 20 years American population growth has been 50 million more people to around 340 million. Current predictions say America will grow to 458 million by 2050. So plenty people to move around, luckily it's a big country, I wonder where the next big moved will go.
@@larsstougaard7097 actually current predictions put it around 380-400 million. The 450 million prediction came from around 2008, US fertility rate has plummeted since then, in a decade or so we'll actually start declining without immigration from other countries
@bigpapa2195 it's true it seems it was old predictions, still some article from 2019 says up to 404 million in 2050. Whatever happens I hope for the best for both people, wildlife, and nature especially water. Figures suggest ( 2023) 2.2 million people in the United States are without running water and basic indoor plumbing; more than 44 million people have inadequate water systems.
@@bigpapa2195 US overall birth rate has been below replacement level for native people (Indigenous and European Settlers), since the 1960’s. You were not aware of this because immigrants would more than makeup for that shortfall with 3-5 children each -and all was good. What is different now, is that with the exception of some African countries…all countries, including South America and Mexico are also below replacement level. So now, importing hispanic, Indian or Asian immigrants does not translate to more births…in fact, they have *even* less children here than they would have in their native countries. So birthdates are plummeting. And America wants “young workers” that will pay into the system. Unfortunately, it’s running out of young people to import and pay those coveted taxes to keep keeping the PONZI Scheme running.
Moving forward, I think we will start seeing a large influx of African Immigrants since they will be the only ones that will have children above the magic 2.1 number. Note that African Americans, like White, and Mexican-Americans are also on the decline.

You can't even make 5nm and 3nm semiconductor technology. My country the Netherlands has been doing that for you for over 10 years. If we would sell it to China our technology in the US would be 10 years behind. The whole technology industry of the US would implode.
South African here, noone deends on americans for a single thing! What you seeing in your country now is communism/socialism... It's been in your borders since 1994 don't forget that YOU AMERICANS created this problem with your beloved Democrats Joe Biden. It's all on C SPAN enjoy your precious globalism
Wait till they feel that Texas heat 😅😅
They going melt like ice cream, falling off in a hot steaming concrete
Yep, Californians are too weak for some insignificant heat with A/C.
My condolences, TX. Protect your values, your kids, your freedom 🫡
LOL Texas' fucked up "values" are exactly what killed their own kids in Uvalde. Texas is not a free state. It's an authoritarian shithole that only an influx of better-educated California liberals can fix.
Amen!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
For the nice guy that said 'everyone here is so friendly'. I am a fourth generation Texan and I can tell you that is how they get in your business. I grew up here and have lived here most of my life. I also lived five years in CA and NV. I do miss California but it is tough to affordit there unless a person is a professional (CPA, attorney, etc). with a lot of experience.
Liberal move in = get ready to expect they mess it up and go woke.
Too bad you can't define what "woke" means.
They'll screw it up and then move on to the next place, leaving desolation in their wake, like locusts.
Amazing content brother. Really recommend you visit Florida and specifically my hometown of Miami, Florida that is the absolute worst housing market in the entire country with the highest rate of inflation nationally as well. Due to the pandemic, many people from New York, California, etc have moved here driving up the prices of housing to insane levels and the general cost of living
I know Cesar. It's worse than Texas. Will you make any move?
And wages in that area weren't that great to begin with. I can only imagine how people manage to afford anything there now.
Florida that hot and hyumid hellhole?No thank you,i better stay here in central europa!It was enough for vacation!
Florida doesn’t even have the same high paying professional jobs as Texas it’s mainly investor driven real estate market with wealthy overseas buyers, retirees etc..having lived in Florida (Miami, Tampa) and Texas, (Austin, Dallas) is WAY better for high paying jobs especially in Tech and Finance! That is why Elon Musk lives in Austin and not Miami as the education is better here from schools to universities for employers
lol Florida has been like that forever. Only the strong and a little insane survive down there long term. 90% of the people that moved will move back out.
Every state needs to get on the same page with taxes and living expenses so people don't need to move around so much
As a Californian I am still very happy to be living here. My biggest problem over the years has been population growth. California has 40 million people, Texas 30 million, Florida 20 million, so I am personally happy to see the California population decline. The reason why home prices had climbed here in California was due to the original surge in population (supply and demand). Not surprising that is what you are seeing now in Texas and Florida. Yes, we have our problems here in California, but I see many of the same problems in other states. I am currently have a nephew who moved to Texas. He is a police officer. When he was here in California he was making $120,000 a year and owned a home that he purchased for $480,000. He now lives just east of Dallas bought a new home for $450,000 and makes $68,000 as a police officer there. My wife has worked at our local hospital for over 30 years. She is constantly training Nurse travelers coming in from other states like Idaho, north Dakota, and the larger states like Texas and Florida. Most have 2 to 3 month contracts and some now have fulltime jobs working 2 weeks on and flying home 2 weeks off. The main reason why these nurses do this is because the pay is much higher. Most of those states pay $22 to $35 an hour where California pays $75 to $90 an hour. Just like Texas and Florida California is big. People outside of California here that "average price" for a home is $700,000 and go nuts. The average also includes multi-million dollar homes overlooking the ocean. There are many homes in the California Valley ( 3 bedroom 2 bath) with a price of $250,000 to $350,000. States like Texas don't have state tax but they have some of the highest property taxes in the USA. In California we do have property taxes. However, the rate is locked in when you purchase your home so as your home increases in value the property taxes stay low (see prop 13). For example my home is valued now at $800,000 but my property taxes are about $3000.00 a year. And when my wife and I pass away, my kids will not only inherit our home but the tax rate will also be grandfathered in. In Texas that $800,000 property tax would be between $12,000 to $15,000 a year depending upon what county you live in. I am retired now but I was an insurance agent for over 25 years. I had a clients over the years that left California only to come back 5 years later. Some came back because of the weather, some came back because of family, but quite a few came back because of job discrimination. "If you want the job you have to join our church" situations. So yes, California has its problems. For those that are unhappy and want to move out of the state, I truly wish you all the best.
Great reality check but don’t forget the sky high utility bills for 5 straight months of air conditioning in Texas..
@@LiarsEverywhere Thanks for your comment. I have edited my comment from: "I am following my nephew" to "I have a nephew." I'm just keeping track as to what is happening with him. I am not moving to Texas. Again thanks for your comment.
Damn, the politics in Texas about to change quick
Yep..its going Blue..migrants
A lot of people that I know leaving California for Texas are people who weren’t from here to begin with. Hopefully California will get better in the long run due to this.
What’s crazy is as the winters continue to get milder and the water continues to get depleted you will see people moving to places inland that you would never have guessed twenty years ago….places like Michigan, upstate NY, Kentucky, etc….Land speculators from overseas have already begun snatching up land in these places in anticipation of the 2050 housing landscape.
Michigan here. We have the most freshwater of any state. And I’m thankful for that as vast swaths of the US are drying up
The rural counties in Texas are responsible for the low cost of living and hands off system of government across the state (they outweigh ATX voters). But the people moving to Austin bring that SF mentality with them and vote against (they despise) traditional TX values...which is ultimately driving up the cost of living in TX. This is why the CA folks need to stay where they are (its beautiful...stay put). You can't have your self-righteous cake and eat it too. Texas deserves to rest on the foundation it built for itself
exactly. liberal government, high taxes, government control. a recipe for a ruined state. look at cali.
What?! Most Californians who leave the state are hardcore Republicans who are tired of living in a blue state.
Texans don’t like people moving here, especially Californians. We don’t care if people like us or not, we love our state regardless anyones opinion.

Sadly nothing compares to the California weather and beauty which is why it got so populated in the first place…and eventually Texas will be as expensive and California will be cheaper…
No. CA will be affordable when it becomes at least a 50-50 swing state like the 1980’s and 1990’s. The Democrats are supermajority of the entire state government. Population loss, increase crime, closing prisons, high taxes and too much social services. Add inflation to that, it’s bad governance. One party controlling the entire government without checks is a disaster
California not that pretty, definitely not the prettiest.The weather is perfect though.
Property taxes are outrageous here in Texas.
I love Texas & the Texas lifestyle. Texas has a lot of diversity as well, I hope Texans do not get pushed out of their homes with the huge population influx.
texas sucks no urban culture, just subruban shopping malls everywhere..u must not have been around chicago nyc even cleveland is better downtown than dallas...and we all know about houston....texas is not it period. its not the wild wild west the people moving there and the way there building it has no soul history or anything impressive like actual big cities
Well it's happening. Families and businesses being pushed out. And the inflation is not helping either.
