Oh, I'm not debating the scenery. As far as weather and local beauty goes, California is amazing. Texas is better when it comes to food and people (except Dallas). But not to hate on Dallas, or Houston, Austin is THE place to beat in Texas. If the wife would allow me to move to Cali, I would in a split second. Especially being a tech industry guy (CTO & Data Scientist). Not to mention I'd get my Tesla a LOT faster. But I don't control my life and I let the wife take care of that. I just provide the money and every now and then, a few laughs and I'm good to go. Living the good life. If she ever gets tired of me, and I hope she doesn't, you will find me roaming the street in Cali.... maybe even San Fran.I'm a California native -- born and raised. Born in SoCal (Los Angeles) and ultimately found my way to San Francisco. When I lived in LA, I got a promotion which required me to move to Texas (Dallas) to work at the corporate headquarters of the company I worked for at the time. Dallas was OK, great food, good entertainment (huge sports fan here), the people were nice, etc. But after the first couple of months, I started to regret the move. Sure, taxes were cheaper... but they were cheaper THERE. I missed the beaches, the mountains, the weather, and that feeling I was in the middle of the action -- my beloved California. Obviously it's based on my own circumstances, and is subjective, but I just felt lost, and that was a heavy thing I didn't anticipate. I lived there four years before I jumped ship to join another company willing to relocate me back to California (San Francisco). If I was born in Texas and had family and a lifetime of friendships there, I'd obviously have felt different.
