The migration from California to Texas
I am a migratory creature by nature. I had even started a company called Pelican 20 years ago as I thought that was characteristic individual to me. So what got me intrigued recently was the noticeable move of people from California to Texas.
Currently living in LA during the pandemic wasn't really easy. There are things you can do always, always to get the business stable. However the massive restriction on every walk of like especially the travel brought our industry down to its knees.
First was Elon's bold move to move HQ to Austin got me thinking. Individual business owner myself I felt totally powerless as well in LA. I get it you do you to keep you kid afloat.
Then came a time where people realized work from home works for them. Why stay in a place that has you paying Rent as if we owned the Tesla.
While I enjoy staying here in LA and have zero moving plans, expanding biz in Texas had great opportunity for me. Especially housing people who would need temporary stays and an increase in corporate relocation needs why not. Since Jan 2022 StaysPro has expanded and recruited Texans and helps individuals and companies looking for a temporary home in Austin and Houston.
California and Texas are two of the wealthiest states in the united states. The migration I read is pre pandemic. In 2019 alone 82,000 people moved from Cali to Texas. These numbers I believe will be double in 2021 still need to see. So its not just the celebrities like or , 700 companies have switched their HQ as well.
What does that do for Politics, really?
The prospect of Texas as a swing state has shocked those who have associated the stare with G W Bush. The purely red state is now Purple. ( Red and Blue duh!!)
Texans may have a concern about droves of Californians moving to their state may increase the growing housing and affordability problem. However I think its a net positive for Texas.
Texas could do with a little bit of moderate viewpoint influence.
Moving to Texas??
