Not sure I like it. Mark my words. That 5000 corporate office will be bringing along the Ca infection with them.
Here are some of the reasons why it makes sense to move to Texas:
* In the annual Chief Executive magazine “Best States / Worst States” ranking that surveys CEOs for their opinions, Texas has been holding on to the No. 1 spot for a while; California seems permanently relegated to No. 50.
* Business Taxes in California are too complicated.
* Burdensome regulations and regulators that have managed to stifle the entrepreneurial energy of thousands of companies.
* Cost of living for employees is SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHER in Torrance than in Plano, and housing costs are 63 percent lower in Plano.
* If even Hollywood movie studios are souring about producing flicks in California, you know you’re in trouble.
Jerry Brown says good riddance.
He don’t need no greedy companies in CA.
He has ‘the people’
Why does it makes sense? Oh, I think I know the answer: Toyota Motor Sales de México already has a corporate office in Mexico City.
Not going to last long....Libs are moving in because they ruined their own areas....Worked with several that moved down here for work and complained about how hot is down here...and the word “ya’ll” was irritating...and how the Texas accent sounded “retarded”...and how we were so “bubbafied”...Ugh.
Probably at least twenty percent of the people will be dyed in the wool Califoricators of a mind to "straighten out" any place not like California. If California wasn't so screwed up already those folks would probably look for another job to stay in California but with things as they are, it's possible most of them will move to Texas and whine about how "backwards" it is.
JMHO
I wish Rick would shut up. We don’t need more libs moving here. They have ruined Dallas and Austin and are working on Ft. Worth and other places.
Good news for north Texas, more traffic.
In a nutshell, this is symbiotic of one of the greatest liberties this country has: preservation of states’ rights.
As long as states maintain the rights reserved for them under the Constitution, then a move like this benefits the country. Why? Because a state that becomes an overbearing-stifling state that preys on its most productive citizens, will have those productive companies and individuals leave for better pastures.
In time, the voters of the state seeing their tax base leave will throw out the govt leaders who caused their standard of living to be reduced.
This should always be supported as it improves each state.
Once the feds are the source of all this like taxation, benefits, etc, then people and companies in one state have zero benefit to move to another state to improve themselves. The feds and libs win.
The Confederacy had the founders’s intentions right: The best defense against an onerous central govt is to make it be responsible for as little as possible
It’s likely that a good number of the Toyota California employees that move to Texas will be able to pay cash for their new Texas home after they sell their overpriced California houses to some suckers staying in the “Golden” state.
Most will be VERY happy after they settle in to their new homes in Texas. I just hope only a small minority will bring their California “progressive” political beliefs with them.
The later other companies are to follow Toyota’s lead on exiting California, the less well off the employees will be (as, gradually, there will be fewer and fewer people wanting to pay astronomical prices for the overpriced California homes).
Now if Boeing had moved their headquarters to Texas...
