The traumas of the past few years have rearranged all of our lives. Many Americans have new needs, new desires, new possibilities and new priorities. They’re looking for bigger homes, second homes or any home at all. They’re searching for work — or trying to escape work. Some fear encroaching heat, fire or flood. Others are repulsed by bitter local politics. Many simply hear the distant siren of a better life elsewhere.
As the Golden Gate shuts, the Lone Star beckons. If you’re looking for an affordable, economically vibrant city that is less likely to be damaged by climate change than many other American cities, our data shows why Texas is a new land of plenty. They have relatively little crime and are teeming with jobs, housing, highly rated schools, good restaurants, clean air and racial and political diversity — all at a steep discount compared to the cost of living in America’s coastal metropolises.
What do Texas cities have that other places don’t? In my searches, there were two preferences that, when combined with jobs, tended to guarantee results in Texas: racial diversity and lower climate risks.
If you select transgender rights or reproductive rights as important to you in our quiz, Texas will plummet in your results. No one in my family is transgender nor likely to be in need of an abortion soon, but could I live in a state that maintains restrictions with which I profoundly disagree? Could I live in a state where the governor tried to ban mask mandates?
Texas, now, feels a bit like California did when I first moved here in the late 1980s — a thriving, dynamic place where it doesn’t take a lot to establish a good life. For many people, that’s more than enough.

Let’s hope these people from California have learned their lessons, and vote Republican when arriving in Texas.
Absolutely ridiculous.
Propaganda piece attempting to substitute “climate worries” for freedom and low taxes.
As yourself who is leaving the state?
Those who love Leftist ways or those who are sick of them?
They don’t learn at all. They crapped in their nest and now are coming to crap in ours. We don’t want you California commies , we are anti abortion and hate diversity be afraid of us rednecks don’t come here its hot we have tons of poisonous snakes and did I mention its hot.
Houston is a swamp! The mosquitoes are as big as pigeons and even the new houses have roaches (No exaggeration!) We all carry guns and there is hunting season on vegans.
Not me. We hope to be packing for Florida soon.
It’s hard to discern. An earlier article had a leftist who—when confronted by Texans concerned with an influx of leftism— lies and says he moved to get away from crazy Californian politics. Taqiyya. It’s not just for Muslims.
Houston where the 4” long roaches fly like birds and that is not an exaggeration. Add in the giant imported swamp rats aka nutria that infest all the bayous and former rice paddies it’s like the Amazon rainforest with the humidity and wildlife. Let’s not forget the 6 foot plus water moccasins which contrary to myth can and do bite in the water.
Oh yeah, do not forget about the alligators! There’s alligators here to!
“If you’re looking for an affordable, economically vibrant city that is less likely to be damaged by climate change than many other American cities.”
I got this in my e-mail a few days ago..
Subject: WARNING! A MUST READ.
You must read to the very end!
The Arctic Ocean is warming up, icebergs are growing scarcer and in some places the seals are finding the water too hot according to a report to the Commerce Department yesterday from the Consulate at Bergen , Norway .
Reports from fishermen, seal hunters and explorers all point to a radical change in climate conditions and hitherto unheard of temperatures in the Arctic zone.
Exploration expeditions report that scarcely any ice has been met as far north as 81 degrees 29 minutes.
Soundings to a depth of 3,100 meters showed the gulf stream still very warm. Great masses of ice have been replaced by moraines of earth and stones, the report continued, while at many points well known glaciers have entirely disappeared.
Very few seals and no white fish are found in the eastern Arctic, while vast shoals of herring and smelts which have never before ventured so far north, are being encountered in the old seal fishing grounds.
Within a few years it is predicted that due to the ice melt the sea will rise and make most coast cities uninhabitable.
I must apologize. I neglected to mention that this report was from November 2, 1922, as reported by the AP and published in The Washington Post 96 years ago. This must have been caused by the Model T Ford’s emissions or possibly from horse and cattle farts.
Our population seems a lot more fluid than it used to be, but
then that may be a mis-perception.
California has been losing Conservatives for decades now. That’s
part of the reason why it’s do darned Leftist. A lot of the
good people left.
Just about any of our states would go belly up, if a good
portion of the sound thinkers took a walk.
I’m sure some Leftists leave also, and they may show up in
places like Austin, a college town known to be more Leftist
than the typical Texas populace.
I think Houston and a few other areas are Leftist enclaves
also.
Fifty years ago the most popular bumper sticker in Colorado was...
“DON’T CALIFORNICATE COLORADO!”
Well, it has been. Along with Oregon and Washington State.
Then they moved on New Mexico and Nevada.
Now TEXAS is in their cross hairs.
We have the same problem here in Pennsylvania with people from New Jersey, and New York.
Ahhhh no! Have you seen Austin, dallas and SA? There that answers your question!
Yes it has the two most important Things: racial diversity and climate Change...
Nothing else is important
(Do I need to post the sarcasm tag?)
If I were a Texan, I would tell a Californian very firmly, “Go somewhere else. We don’t want you here to ruin our homeground.”
