Like locusts, they devour all in their home before moving to a new site where they can devour all in their path.

That is a lot of words just to say Newsom and California sux for business.

[Semper Vigilantis]

You beat me too it. Round Rock, Georgetown, San Marcos...
No way to go back to the good old days when 183 was on the ground and NW Austin was ‘way out there in the country’.
Is it too late to build a wall around Austin?

...you are forgetting Leander - a couple of years ago the fasted growing city in the USAS, if I recall........at one time more-or-less a dot on the map, virtually unrecognizable now...construction going on all over the greater Austin area, and one question no one seems to want to address - where is all the needed water to come from...? and vehicle traffic is a PITA now and will only get worse...

All they did was move from California to Little California (Austin). They can enjoy seeing the Texas House down the street use its minority coalition (Democrats + RINOs) to keep thwarting the American Dream.

They can ask former Speaker Dade Failin all about it.

Northern liberals destroyed more than a few cities in North and South Carolina.

But did you notice the people in North and South Carolina as well as Texas have no problem selling homes to Californians and taking their money?

It's a free market.

Right, but maybe you should be blaming the people that live in those States.
