Scott Thatcher and his wife Angela were born in California and love the sun-kissed Golden State. But two months ago they sold their home, packed up their belongings and travelled 1,700 miles with their three sons to start a new life in Texas.
Despite earning good salaries with secure jobs as a driver and a nurse, the family’s combined income of about $140,000 (£99,000) a year was not enough to prosper in their town of Modesto, about 90 minutes east of San Francisco.
‘We were surviving but not thriving,’ said Scott, 35. ‘We were getting by but it felt like we would never really get ahead.’

After they arrive Texas they will keep voting for democrats
You are in a good place. Sounds like Roane county.
I lived in Blount and Loudon counties for many years.
Currently in Cabarrus in NC.
Weed and hallucinogens more often turn minds to the left.
“Surviving not thriving”......ugh
Was in Roane; now in Loudon. We left the place I described when DH insisted on downsizing and now we’re (sadly) back in a Stepford-esque subdivision. ;(
Try reading the article before deciding that all those fleeing must be part of the Socialist canker.
You could be wrong. You are wrong. From the article,
“Marie and Scott Bailey relocated their family to a Dallas suburb four years ago for financial and political reasons, almost doubling the size of their home. ‘We’re conservatives and the world changed when Donald Trump won,’ she said. ‘If you talked about him, you’d be shunned by friends and in the neighbourhood mommies’ group.’
Now she runs an estate agency that has helped 80 other families follow suit. She drives a Tesla with a ‘Move2TX’ number-plate and runs a Facebook site offering advice to Californians toying with the idea of decamping to Texas. It has 33,000 followers.”
It’s different in Hawaii. Hawaiians aren’t as obnoxious as Californians, I’m sure.
My really old school is Unitia road before 321 existed there.
There was two marinas long since gone now. One is at the ramp.
I would take a 12ft boat with a 2hp motor out to the channel in the morning at 6am. Mother nature at its finest.
We had a home in that cove.
CA is a he!!h0le.
Tell that line to Colorado.
A CALI hell hole .
my central rental properties are getting calls from san diego and ventura lefties females and one guy from Denver !
Both Cali calls were bitter demanding middle aged unmarried woman who have rented their whole life .
They were barking out orders and demands before even seeing the place .
We blocked them . The Colorado guy tried to lie about the four people moving in too and two 80 pd dogs . He was originally from Cali too .
That is the sea of trash flooding FL .
The problem is they bring the destructive thinking that ruined California with them.
Stay in California. They are everywhere here now lamenting how bad it was there but complaining there are no fusion taco restaurants of good martini bars. And they have money and time so are now taking over the city council and county commision and doing the same crap. “I paid more then they were asking but I can’t understand why there is no affordable housing.” “ There aren’t any bike lanes” in a town where there are no bike riders
The 99% of the leftist give the rest of californians a bad name. The VAST majority are marxist horrible people.
That’s how we felt when we left Carlsbad, California, for Arizona in the mid 90s. Carlsbad was like paradise, but we couldn’t afford to buy a house and felt like we were on a treadmill. We lived 2-1/2 miles from the beach and only went there about 3 times all summer because we were so busy working so we could stay there! Like, WTF??!!
'Fraid not, Sonny. You can read all the articles you want. I'm living it and I see it.
Meanwhile, they’re all too stupid to connect the dots, viz. liberalism is the bane of civilization. And they’re still liberals. Kalifornians. Such ignorant wretches.
Yeppers, they crapped up their own nest, now their going to crap up someone else's.... Too bad..
A very apt description..
