So much for that right-wing narrative ....... NEWSWEEK: California Sees Surge in People Moving to the State "California was the second most popular state for Americans to move to in 2024" www.newsweek.com/california-s...

There are stories of people who moved out to Texas for example, and are moving back. TBH, I don't blame them at all.

Tbh honest I’m glad. Texas isn’t Cali and Cali isn’t Texas. People from Those states don’t really belong or like being in the other. Never understood why they moved to Texas and I’m not unhappy for them to leave. Different ideologies and thinking. It’s fine but obviously didn’t mesh

This ismy favorite part of the article “While California is experiencing an exodus of middle-class and even high-earning residents in search of more affordable states, the state is still attracting new talent and immigrants in many industries.” We are mostly getting immigrants! The real Americans

Partly due to the Greg Abbott-Ken Paxton-Dan Patrick triumvirate of shame. I love Texans, but they vote like shit.

Because states with Republican governors/legislatures have turned Red states into shit, and it’s just going to get worse with Trump. Republican voters are going to find out the hard way how their voting will bring unnecessary hardship upon themselves 😂

Every state is great if you are rich. Funny thing though, the wealthy are concentrated in a few blue states.

Blue states contribute much more to the country's GDP, blue states and cities is where most the countries wealth is created so makes sense.

And blue areas are where the people are the most educated so it makes sense those areas are more productive.

That’s not true. There was a reason there was an exodus from California to say Texas to begin with. Maybe it’s different now and that’s a good thing.

My Christian conservative former FIL who has lived in California literally his entire life was telling me how GREAT Texas is in comparison. But he still lives in California. Hmmm...

He just doesn’t want to move maybe? I personally know so many who ahhve moved to Texas from Cali. Some like. Some hate. As you’d expect. I don’t mind visiting Cali but wouldn’t live there. People have different ideas. Go figure.

Weird. 4th largest economy in the world. Reproductive rights. Environmental protections. Sounds awful

We need more of them to move East and settle in states like AZ and TX so we can turn them blue once and for all.

U-Haul trucks moving to Texas because California is too expensive, U-Haul trucks coming back because they find out California is worth it.

Thats why its imperative for the legislature and Gov newsom to find ways to increase housing supply. Pasadena has gotten the message.
