The only thing I miss about California is the weather. The only thing I don’t love about deep east Texas is the weather.
I’m glad I moved before I needed to.
Having moved from Silicon Valley to Central Texas 3+ years ago, I concur. Sadly, the rest of the out-of-state nutjobs replaced a conservative city major and four seat city council in 2021 with five women who are all left of center. Ugh.

I seriously considered moving back to Texas after I retired. The reason I didn’t is because I am not a fan of living in an oven. :-)
That’s why we chose AZ...Being a CA native, I found AZ weather to be very similar to S. CA...We’re not in the low desert of Phoenix, but high country where it’s significantly cooler in summer. And by the looks of what is happening, it looks like a lot of people are thinking the exact same thing.
We had plans to go to the northwest, but as the years rolled by before bailing out, we decided against the cold/snow of the northwest. For us it turns out it was a *great* decision.
