If you think that the California invasion of Austin has not changed the way business is done, and the culture, you are willfully ignoring the facts.
I don’t think it is Californians, per se, that are causing the problem. But, their attitudes and culture are beginning to cause issues.
This is nothing new. You should look at how California treated kids from Texas and Oklahoma during the dust bowl regarding this accents.
No, I completely agree. I used to go to Austin to do business with Applied Materials (a Silicon Valley Company). They brought their “ideas” to Austin, no question. Austin is more unlike Texas than most of the rest of the state, just like San Francisco isn't really representative of most of California. But I also have a good friend who moved to Austin to take a senior position with Tracor some years ago. He had a lot of money, relatively speaking from the sale of his home here, so he built a big place “up on the hill” with the UTA professors. After seven years, his wife said she would not stay one more minute in Texas, as their “neighbors” had routinely ostracized them because they weren't “real Texans.”You don't find that kind of bigotry here in California, just saying.
