His point about property taxes is dumb.

You have to look at overall tax burden from all sources. Cali is about 12% higher than Texas overall.

New York is outrageously high.

Can confirm.

It is to bad that there is not a mass exodus of these individuals back to that **** hole State but the opposite is still true.

Also, he can thank his "brethren" for they are the ones that ruined Austin.

I'd be perfectly fine if everyone that came from California into Texas and everyone who crossed our southern border would all pack up and go back.

Yeah, that dudes a ***. I hope everybody in California reads his diatribe.

Exhibit A was the dad (also at a kids' flag football league) wearing the "Don't move to Austin" T-shirt, a play on "Don't mess with Texas." Let me get this straight: I uprooted my family, moved across four states, and that's the welcome I get? And the worst part of it all is that it's not even funny. There's a bumper sticker in the West: "Montana sucks. Tell your friends!" Same message, but with some humor.

Bah-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha....

I don't know which is more hilarious - the idea that he thought he would/should be welcomed coming from kali or that he thought the t-shirt was joking...

Now GTFO Texas little girl

Lol! Texas ain't for enlightened sissies!

The guy went to BYU and this Texas "culture" is a shock? I know probably 4 BYU grads and not a single one is a lib (all sort of interesting but definitely not lib).

That guy is a tool. But yall bragging about manly alpha male 100 degree summers...that's uh...well if you like it and it makes you feel like you have BDE, thats real great, good for you.

Often the kids would go outside anyway and come back with heat rashes

wtf is a heat rash?

I feel like we've done this thread before with some other cali ****tard realizing they made a huge mistake. But maybe it's just me.

This is from several years ago

But he still needs to tell ALL his friends!

Chances are good he whines like this in every situation he's in. I can't believe I clicked on this and read the whole thing.

Bye bye.

Weather...

"It was supposed to have good food, weather, and good live music," he said. "That's what drew me there. Then I came to find out it didn't really fit any of those things."

Fountain, the real-estate agent, noted that Californians, especially, were unprepared for the weather. July was the hottest-ever month in Austin, with temperatures soaring to above 105 degrees for 11 straight days.

"When we started hitting 2022, what we started seeing was people had a whole year here in Austin and they realized they don't like the weather," Fountain said. "It doesn't have what they wanted in California."

As much as Chang wants to get out of Austin, the rise in interest rates means he may have missed his chance.

"If we sell, we would give up our 3% interest rate loan and would need to buy at 7%-plus, significantly reducing our buying power," Chang said. "With housing prices being much higher in coastal cities, this makes buying nearly impossible."

I knew they were stupid

I didn't know they're so stupid that they're shocked Texas is hot

It's ****ing miserable. Really not a huge deal if you shower regularly but basically the salt in your sweat blocks your pores and these pimple like irritations pop up. Extremely painful and irritating. Like I said as long as you're cleaning yourself you're fine. I had a horrible case years ago from spending two weeks in the field on an army field exercise with only baby's wipes to do a ***** bath. Wearing body armor made it excruciating. 0/10. Would not recommend

*we were told the remedy was to take your ID card and scrape where the rash was. (Usually back or chest and stomach). I think the theory was it would "shave off" the raised up irritations? I don't think it helped but it hurt like a mother.

That makes me think about an anecdote from someone who lived real close to 287 north of Amarillo a number of years ago. There was a big snow storm and travelers were stranded all over the place. Like any good, honest people, they took those who they could into their house to weather the storm.

After it was over they said that they wished they hadn't taken any of them in -- that not one of the people they took in to wait out the storm offered to help with anything. They all just sat around and waited to be served and complained about the food and the service and anything else they could think to complain about. Every one of them was an ungrateful twit who expected to be treated like they were at a first class hotel. And none even offered to pay for the cost of the food they ate.

He sounds like a real *****!

In all seriousness, this isn't 1955 and you have no idea what the climate might be like somewhere else. All the data is out there. Yes, Texas is hot as balls and doesn't have as good of weather as California. If that's your main thing then stay in California.
A little too much emphasis on a t-shirt and slogan as well. Get a grip bro; it's a t-shirt.
What a California beta.

Can you imagine his culture shock if he'd moved to a real Texas city?

It's more like people laughing at the moron moving across the country without realizing that it gets hot in the summer in central Texas.

As part of a larger issue, there's an aspect of assimilation that needs to be addressed. This whole, "I moved to location X for Y, but I want to change it into exactly where I came from" is super annoying. It's why people from Montana and Idaho and Texas loathe Californians.

If you move to Montana, get used to cold winters. If you move to Texas, get used to hot summers. I'm sorry it's not 70 degrees every day, the sounds of the ocean don't come wafting in your bedroom window, and you can't find a good Cambodian stir fry restaurant within a few blocks.

When I lived in CA, we used to call it "the sunshine tax". You pay all that extra money for the relentlessly good weather. To be fair to Whiny Complainerson, the smaller abodes really are negated by just how much you can do outside. It's just a different mentality. But you should realize the difference before moving 1,500 miles across the country.

They're real. My kids, when they were little, would get them playing outside when it was hot. Guess what? They still played outside when it was hot.

I'm not talking about "*****ly heat". They got raised welts, like one giant welt that covered their whole thigh.

Welcome to Texas, now leave!

Whatever

I will agree with you. Texas summers suck and the subject of this thread is a major tool.

That's said, Californians. Just an odd bunch

Having travelled there, I can say that Californians, in their native habitat, are some of the friendliest people I've ever encountered. Never had bad service at a restaurant, always polite and helpful where I went for the most part.

But once they get to Texas, they are the softest, whiniest, bellyaching-est candy asses in the history of mankind. All they do is b/tch about Texas and talk about how great California is. Then why are you here, dipsh/t?

Having lived in both places, you know the above is true.

They just need to stay in their comfort zone, and everybody's happy

I was raised by Texans in California and my church community was heavy on Texas / Southern influences, so I consider myself a 2nd generation immigrant to the Golden State with Texas as the 'old country.' My general assessment of the world and both states is that underneath the veneer of culture, the distribution of jerks, kind souls, and honest people are fairly evenly distributed. Texans often underestimate Californians as soft, tools like the guy in the OP help reinenforce the caricature, but the reality is that the culture here created Hollywood, Silicon Valley, the UC system, etc.

California is way more my speed than Texas and that chasm grows as I get older, but if life found a reason for me to end up in TX againId find my community, not complain about the culture, and probably be as satisfied with my life as I am now. I think the author in the OP is probably still as miserable in CA but cant blame it on those damn Texans and their Texasness.

Well bye

Move to East Bay, see what a welcome you get.
There is nothing we do in Texas that is an equal to the violence and hatred you find in some places in Cali.
