Update: WSJ: Everyone's moving to Texas: Cali to Texas , U Haul champs back to back

Speaking of Chavez, another bad thing is not having to work on Cesar Chavez day. Hopefully people will save themselves and stay away.

 

Slackers!! They already get MLK!!

How do businesses even survive??

 

They don't. Every business here is bankrupt

 

Morally or fiscally? (teehee)

 

I hope they can avoid the bad traffic on the way over here.

 

Both. Whichever one people from out of state think is worse.

One year, some people made money but they ended up taxing them 2000%. That's now the current tax rate here. People were so morally bamrupt they cheated their taxes and only paid 1000%.

 

There's no Umami Burger in Texas.

There are 286 Fertitta Restaurants.

Think about that.

 

But you think about In and Out Burger, obviously.

 

Look at who watches local news, on the tv, with an antenna even!, how quaint.

p.s. if they opened a Whataburger in Cali it would be a madhouse for a month, just like InOut (which nobody should ever think about anyway) in Texas. But you still can't deny that Umami Burger is better than anything in Austin.

 

San Francisco has lost more residents between 2019 and 2020 than any other major U.S. city, according to data compiled by the commercial realty firm CBRE Group and reported by Business Insider. The study discovered that the number of those fleeing San Francisco to Texas spiked 32.1%, and those making the trek to Florida skyrocketed by 46.2%.

Unicorn investor Keith Rabois, who has moved to Miami, maintained that the Bay Area is losing its lucrative tech talent, telling Business Insider that “many of the most ambitious people on the planet have lived here, but post-COVID, I think the concentration of talent has atrophied, perhaps permanently.”

Most of those who left San Francisco, however, did not leave the state, but simply made their way north to Sacramento. As Business Insider noted regarding the CBRE data, the number of moves from San Francisco to Sacramento increased 70% in 2020, which outnumbers the amount of people leaving for cities in other states, such as Tampa, San Antonio, and Austin.

Hans Johnson, a demographer at the Public Policy Institute of California, addressed what he described as “a real sea change in California, which used to be this state of pretty robust population growth.”

“It hasn’t been for some time now. But it’s now gotten to the point where the state is essentially not growing population-wise at all,” Johnson said.

As the Washington Examiner reported:

According to a population estimate this week, 135,600 more people fled the Golden State than moved there, which marks only the 12th time since 1900 that the state saw a net migration loss. It is the third-largest drop recorded.

Johnson added that the population decrease could cause the state to lose a seat in Congress as well as an Electoral College vote for the first time. The state did not gain any seats following the 2010 census, which was also a first.

Residents have cited high taxes as a main driver of the decision to leave.

“I never wanted to leave California,” San Francisco real estate broker Scott Fuller said about his departure from the state after living there since 1983. “It’s the most beautiful state with the best climate. I think the tipping point was continued tax increases and even more proposed tax increases. … I have absolutely no regrets.”

 

last time I drove by the Stafford location this past weekend, the line there was looking ridiculous

I’ve only been to In-N-Out once, and that was years ago in LA...I just had to try it for myself and see if it was worth all the hype

I pulled up, and the place was packed...it was basically standing room only in there and the drive-thru was crazy too...I’m thinking this place must be serving heaving between 2 buns with the way this place is crowded, and well, let’s just say that In-N-Out is extremely overrated

it’s not even 5 Guys level, and it’s definitely not fckin with Whataburger

 

LOL.
