DFW Anyone from S Cal who moved to Dallas area?

Sad, but true. We escaped from LA three years ago and I am already contemplating an exit strategy. Voting Texan does little good now, as the parasites overwhelm the system. I can say we booted the ****-bags from the school board, along with their CRT garbage, here in SL recently. A small, but critical victory.

When the kids are done with school, all bets are off.

To the OP, feel free to PM me if you want to chat. Happy to discuss our experience with the transition.

 

And made National news in the process! Voting Texan still counts.

 

Yes, Sir.

 

Well......2 time loser Beto the dress wearing commy freak is gonna try again. That will be the final nail in the coffin.
Maybe they’ll all leave California and we can move there and turn that place around. Santa Barbara would suit me fine.

 

Currently live in DFW and previously have lived in Northern and Southern California.
I'd echo many of the concerns of people in this thread about CA transplants bringing failed policies to TX...

However:
"There's no zealot like a convert" is also true.
From my perspective >95% of people are just followers who will parrot whatever the socially acceptable line is in the environment around them.
Things like the school board referendum in Southlake are powerful motivators for introspection.

I personally think Texas has the greatest potential of any place on Earth right now to actually do what's right: look objectively at the results of various policy choices and take a firm and honest stance about what works and what doesn't. The current standard political stance here is an absolute dream for someone coming out of CA: personal liberty, respect for the law, a well trained and well respected police force and an overall feeling that Americans are amazing people who do awesome things. As it should be.

 

Glad to have you aboard.

I just moved to Houston from LA and we absolutely love it here. The only issue is that some Texans just dislike people coming from California. I have had several cases of people coming up to me and asking about my California plates and then proceeding to tell me that Texans don't like Californians. Even in this chat had an issue of someone saying "hope your intentions in Texas are good?"

Just wow.

 

Re-read this thread. If you don't get the root of the sentiment, read it again. Pay attention to posts #10, #25, #26, and #32.

Welcome to Texas. Please remember where you are now, and remember where you're not.

 

It’s NOT personal!

I’ve only been here 35+ years. When I got here Austin was a beacon. A place anybody would want to be. Great for a weekend jaunt, great for business, great place to live and raise a family. Then Dell happened. That led to a massive influx of tech which directly correlates to Silicon Valley. Those Californians saw a beautiful city with a significantly lower cost of living and they flooded there. They brought with them values we, as Texans, don’t share. But they overwhelmed the population and molded it in the manner to which they’d become accustomed. Austin is lost. Those of us that miss it resent what’s happened.

It’s now happening in Houston, Dallas, San Antonio and Fort Worth. Oh yeah, it’s going rural too. Somebody from CA bought a $1.5M lake house a few doors down from mine sight unseen a few months ago.

It’s not the people we don’t want, it’s the politics,
