I am a Calfornia expat now in Dallas.
I like it here — the people are great and the politics make sense. It also is centrally located which is ideal for a Road Warrior like me (I have gotten a lot of my life back).
I miss Los Angeles from time to time, mostly for weather, the beach and things to do.
But I a am on the road most of the time anyway.
My first vote as a citizen here was for Cruz so I feel really good about that.
If Texas had waves I’d be there too.
A close friend and her husband lived in California. Had a thriving business till state taxes and regulations almost ruined it. They packed up and moved to Texas. The business is thriving and so are they. My friend just told me they are selling the business and retiring. She said they wouldn’t have been able to retire if they had stayed in California.
I too have been the “road warrior” having an East Texas territory along with Dallas and Houston. I find it a peaceful drive with lots of great eating stops and interesting folks.
When you miss CA, get on the plane...I kiss the TX ground arriving HOME.
Welcome to Texas!
