Consider Texas a blue state in 10yrs time or less!!
And when they can’t afford a place in Austin, the CA transplants buy homes in the small towns in the area, screwing them up with traffic that the roads were not built to handle. STAY OUT!!!
When will Texas start vetting people coming in from other states for their religious and political views? lol.
Colorado, Montana and Idaho all have had the same impact. Plus the Californicators usually carry their leftist political views with them
Austin, the sister city of San Francisco.
They deserve high taxes and high home prices.
Leftist infection spreads....terrible people.

The problem is, they don’t confine themselves or their leftist meddling to Austin/Travis County. The cancer spreads.
Yep. They f*cked up my state, drove up home prices, destroyed the public school system, legalized / embraced sodomy and illegal alien invaders and turned the once great state of California (and Oregon & Washington), and they are fleeing to greener pastures to replicate it again.
Liberals are a cancer.
Click we your borders now Texas. Turn them away by whatever means necessary. The zombies are coming for you next.
The city has high real estate prices but a very low Umployment Rate and low Crime Rate.
Dammit! Click = Close
The lot that the shanty sits on is valued higher than that in Austin.
Happened where I live too. I know the story.
Colorado was Californicated (albeit with the low lifes infesting Boulder and Denver).
Hopefully, Texs will handle the infection.
Otherwise, they'll need to give Texans big fat raises.☺
Same thing happened in CO. Ugg....
