If 60,000 people continue to move from there to Texas every year then 20 years from now when the area has lost over a million residents the housing prices might well flatten organically. This madness is causing housing prices to climb in Texas though.



"Everyone" has been fleeing California for as long as I can remember (and long before myself, my family, and most of my friends all moved here).


> housing prices might well flatten organically

Presumably a big quake will do that


Tell you what, we'll send all the jerks to TX and keep the non-jerks ;-)


Then there wouldn't be anyone left.


But I was told Austin is the SF of Texas?!!?!

I used to laugh my ass off at ignorant Californians that would say that. It's still fucking Texas.


It's not a _terrible_ analogy though. I haven't been to all the major US cities but I got a bit of a Portland vibe from Austin. It's definitely not what I expected from my first time in Texas (I'm a West Coast Canadian).


Let's not get into the usual culture wars here. My comment was meant as a joke. My apologies if it offended anyone. Live and let live.
