I also lived on Florida east coast for about 10 years working at IBM in Boca. Yes humidity, yes bugs. But air conditioning actually makes the homes more comfortable to live in than the high desert. But the real benefit of Florida is only found in the south east part and that is the tropical atlantic ocean which is awesome for fishing and diving.

Smaller homes with smaller yards. No castles. All homes are historically built in an energy-saving way, because of the arctic -20c winters. by the way, people, even children, cycle in those -20c winter! the municipality maintains the biking lanes, even during wintertime. contrary to what you might believe, it is actually very warm to cycle in winter clothes even in -20c temperatures, it feels like an oven. ( if you don't believe me, youtube search a video called "Why Canadians Can't Bike in the Winter (but Finnish people can)" the children's schools are filled with bikes, even middle of winter! even at age 8. people very often underestimate, how different every single thing can be. it´s the trillion small things that make the ambiance of living.

@PITTSBURG LANDING California is the biggest agricultural producer in the world. The work for truck drivers out here is the highest demand of any state. The solar industry here is exploding.. people without college degrees can easily make $100,000 a year working 4 days a week. There's ample opportunity out here that's why so many people from out of state flocked here in droves. But the cost of living out here is high and unless you're talented or really hard worker you will not survive. Therefore all those people moved to Texas.

I lived in Austin and I love Austin but one thing is true, it is damn hot in the summer, humid hot and suffocating so I moved out of there and left Austin to the Texans!

I've traveled a lot of places and to me, the Southern California coastal cities easily have the best weather in the world. I lived in Santa Monica where the weather is 70 to 80 degrees all year round with 350 days of sunshine. Even better, because there is no humidity and so little rain, there is no standing water, which means no mosquitoes, flies, gnats, or any bugs flying around. It's quite incredible to realize there are no bugs in the air, which is why people can have a party with their patio doors flung wide open or a full outdoor dinner in the backyard and no one is batting flies away from the food or getting eaten up by mosquitoes. I think I killed five house flies in the 16 years I lived there. Those are the two most startling things for anyone from the east going to a California coastal city: the lightness of the air or atmosphere, and NO bugs everywhere.

Furthermore, I totally agree with your comment about the absolute crooks that are out there. I live in Mexico and everybody in the construction business is like that, I believe in the US the term that describes those kinds of crooks is "cowboy builders", and that's the norm here.

Him thinking people in Austin are rude is probably because he's talking to other Californians! I went to school at UT for 4 years. I'm much older. Young men always opened doors for me or gave up their seat on the bus. Being down on the river walking was always nice and safe. I lived in the student apartments , took the bus or walked everywhere, and never felt uncomfortable. Even the homeless at that time were nice. That being said, that was 2004-2008. I won't go up there now. I'm terrified with all the homeless crazy people. The crime has skyrocketed everywhere in Texas. But especially in the big cities!

I've spent 35 years in Southern California, 20 in Northern California. I haven't ever been to Texas but traveling around the country, it's shocking how nice people are outside of Southern California. For me, it's just hard to move away from the weather. Humidity is something I haven't experienced and I assume when you grow up with it, it's much more tolerable.

I LOVE Texans, but you couldn't pay me to move there. No wonder they are tough. My dad moved us there from So Cal (back when it was paradise on earth) in the 60s while he worked at NASA, and we lasted four months - barely. We weren't used to it raining in our house but that explained all the little brown rings on our ceiling. You could walk across Galveston Bay on the brown stuff that really stunk. We found an 18 foot alligator in our back yard and found out they aren't green or cute. Took the local volunteer fire department to come and "wrangle" him onto a telephone pole and they tied him with ropes and taped his snout shut so he wouldn't eat little kids in our neighborhood. The yard looked beautiful and green until you stepped into it and sank up to your ankles so forget about touch football, volleyball or croquette. Then, there was the tree asp (woolly worm?) that stung my mom and put her in the hospital. Next came a very large tarantula my mom had to battle in her bedroom with a broom, and instead of running he battled back. The county would burn the empty lots to get rid of the incredibly poisonous snakes, which would then come slithering out of the burning lot and try to find a new home with us. The lovely fogging trucks would come through and poison all of us trying to kill a few quadrillion mosquitoes. It didn't work. We became prisoners in our home because we were too scared to go outside - ever - not to mention it was 96 degrees with 96% humidity. Then, the final straw was when my mother found out what the large, flying "water bugs" really were. Houston, we have a problem.

Born and raised in Austin. People can't drive here, and it's the worse it's ever been with so many Californians and New Yorkers here now who have never been on our roads... Before COVID, you couldn't PULL OUT OF YOUR HOUSE with out being less than 5 minutes away from dead stop traffic somewhere... AND they have made it impossible to travel thru and around the city without spending 10-20 bucks on the 5 toll roads we have for highways... Now the average home price is creeping up to a million bucks because ppl from Cali move here and pay over asking price for a home, IN CASH. Ever since last year, the overall homeless presence has quadrupled and camps and tent-cities are under almost EVERY bridge in the city now, and getting worse. Property taxes are over a thousand a month in some areas and most of our beautiful water holes and scenic greenbelts are trashed and filthy with inconsiderate people acting as they please... Honestly the list goes on and on but I'll stop there for now. Born and raised here, been here since 1990 and for the first time we are contemplating leaving

Fortunately, I spent time in Austin during the summer and that was enough to let me know I had no desire to live there. I did move to the Dallas area and lived there for @ 6 years solely because of work. Sorry, but I would have to agree with Brett's comments about things to do/see in TX. There really aren't many, as far as I'm concerned - that is unless you're talking about going to the movies, museums, other things to do INDOORS. (I drove over to New Mexico for vacations in the mountains.) I lived in a community with a lot of families with kids. The community had swimming pools scattered around, but shockingly, in the summer I rarely saw ANY kids outside, let alone at the pools. I was talking with my neighbors and they commented that you don't go outside in the summer in TX. (I also lived in the California high desert - Lancaster, and it gets extremely hot there. But the heat in CA is nowhere near as oppressive as the heat in TX, due to the humidity. If you're out in the sun, CA is dam hot, but go in the shade and it's absolutely pleasant - even if it's 113 degrees outside. When it was over 100 in Dallas, it didn't matter where you were - it was oppressive and even at night, the humidity was ALWAYS there.) The cost of utilities "per unit of measure" may be comparable to other areas, but you're going to spend a LOT MORE heating and cooling your home in TX than you would in CA or a lot of other places. To be honest, I didn't really have any major issues with "bugs" primarily because I didn't spend much time outside. Some people don't mind being drenched in sweat - I'm not one of them. I got up at 6:00 AM to mow the lawn to try to minimize being drenched in sweat. I was probably the only one who mowed my own lawn in my neighborhood. The only time I hired a mower was when I listed my Dallas house and moved to another state while the house was still on the market. I haven't read "Brett's" entire article but I'm thinking his comments about a "Conservative Dystopia" are more than likely about TX in general and I would definitely have to agree if that's the case. Ditto with the drivers. I've been around a LONG time and the ONLY time I've ever seen someone run a red light was in Dallas - actually Addison and it was during the day on Belt Line, the main thoroughfare through town. I personally don't think a lot of Texans are very open to outsiders. When a family bought the house across the street from mine, I went over to meet them and welcome them to the neighborhood. The only other "involvement" I had with them over the next 5 years was if their kids were selling lemonade or collecting for something. They never even bothered to acknowledge a hello after I first met them. (Having said that, the other neighbors on my block were much more personable. One family was also from out of state, the second was a young couple recently out of college, and the third was another couple who were native Texans - they were all great and I spoke with them regularly.) Don't get me started on property taxes - they more than made up for a lack of a state income tax. I now live on 5.5 acres in the mountains of Washington state and am generally happy as a clam.

I moved to California from Florida because of job offer...... still have the habit of saying "yessir, yes ma'am" from time to time.... When I said "yes ma'am" to reply to a lady in California....she was like..."I'm not a man..." ..man I was fixin to crack up...

Austin has its pros and cons. I lived there from 2005 (college time) to 2018, and saw it go from a medium sized hippie town with cheap homes (around 150K on average which would be below 200K adjusted for inflation by todays standards) to a silicon valley type tech town with expensive homes (around 500K on average). Its pretty intense now, but not a bad place. But I think most people should greatly curtail their expectations if they want to move there now.

California is the best if you have the money like that guy.

Absolutely. It seems like he thinks money is no object. Well if money if no object, obviously he's going to like California better. Dumbass.

As someone who grew up in Austin until early adulthood and has been in LA for 4 years I am laughing at a lot of his points just like you. I lived in Bee Cave/Lake Travis area all of high school. I think its funny that he is saying there is nothing to do when there so many lakes, miles of green belt trails and swimming holes... May not be the same as mountains but there is still so many things to do. And you want diversity but bought in bee cave? maybe do your research first bud. Weird that your house that is twice as big as your san diego house has more expensive bills too.. hmm lmao.

Yes, please keep making more videos like this because it is getting overcrowded here and it doesn't look like it is slowing down anytime soon.

People move from Cali due to the expense of living there thinking Texas is going to be a lot cheaper. It's only cheaper in terms of no state taxes. However, in many other ways it's more expensive.

I just moved here in May from California (Fort Worth). It's still cheaper for daily things and that's where it really adds up. Car registration, gas, and plenty of other things. The amount of cheaper things to do here is outstanding as well. Now it's not "going to make you a millionaire" cheaper but it is significantly cheaper in many many aspects.

Exactly. People don't realize that just because a state, in this case TX, collects no state tax, it is more likely, it'll get its revenue by other means. High property taxes, compare even with CA. Pricier products and services. There are no holy grail states, really.

I'm a Texas native who grew up in California, was thinking about moving back to Texas, but I think Florida is on my map. Florida just seems nicer, and more fun. I don't want to talk crap on my home state, but Texas just seems kind of boring to me.

The problem with Texas is the closed mindedness. Austin is the most open, but it gets worse as you head away from the major cities. If you are white, straight, Christian, love guns, and consider public transportation and green energy to be an abomination then you're good but any variations from that norm and life in Texas becomes a lot less hospitable. Also, the public school system in Texas is awful.

In the LA area so many outdoor activities all year round, from walking on the beach, hiking on mountains, on winter the mountains gets full of snow, lakes, desserts. Great restaurants, museums, nightlife, live entertainment AND GREAT WEATHER ALL YEAR ROUND.

I’m a native, born and raised in Austin. Let me give y’all a word of advice. Don’t move here. Please leave. You are not wanted here any way. So move back or move away. Thanks from a Texan.

I'm so glad that I live in the Lake Norman area of Charlotte. We have very few of the problems that you listed about California or Austin here, other than damn Yankee transplants and Spring allergies. Although there are allergies in other regions as well . If you're property values are too high, go outside if the city limits and try to work from home. We do this and save a fortune. We don't have San Diego weather, but we don't have Texas weather either. We have hardly any snow and it doesn't rain much. The summer is lovely as long as you go out in the morning until 1PM and then go out 6 PM to 8PM you're fine. Twilight is when the mosquitoes come out and it gets humid then, but after 10PM it's perfect. Our temps usually stay in the upper 40s to low 90s, but typically you can expect 50s for winter and 80s for summer for highs. The "Real Feel" for sunny days can be as much as ten degrees warmer which is nice in winter, although I don't notice it in the summer. I prefer a sunny, warm summer so the humidity dries up from the sun. Most of our water comes from the melting snow in the mountains and brought down by rivers. We have plenty of water thanks to our excellent water recycling and wells that are cheap to install. You can install a well for way under $5000 and use it for pool and lawn watering, but it only costs us $40 a month for county water for people who live outside city limits, so it would be a waste. Also most people from the Carolinas use grass that doesn't need much of any watering, although it turns a strange color in winter. City water, trash, and sewer only cost around $80 for an average-sized home and I thought that was expensive. Mind you we homeschool and work from home so that rate would be one of the highest. If you're water is expensive, put bleach deodorizers in your toilets and flush only when necessary. Also buy an energy-efficient, front-loading W/D, it hardly uses any water. The one thing however you have to watch for in the Charlotte/Raleigh area are "community wells" aka "Aqua Water." This business will make it cheaper for the builders and a nightmare for the owners. They will charge people $200 or $400 a month to run your dishwasher once a week, take one shower a day, and wash three loads of clothes a week and the water looked dirty. I'd install my own well on the sly since the lots were huge and outside city limits. Luckily we did not buy that house, we just stayed there a few months to help a friend financially going through a divorce and foreclosure. We thought it would be a cheap way to save some money until our new home was completed. Boy were we wrong. We might as well got an apartment. Thanks to the Yankees, property prices and taxes have risen, but you can still easily buy or built a house from the upper 100K and 200K and property taxes are still in the below 1% to 1.5% . That seems high, however NC has been building charter schools everywhere and our roads are never cracked or ugly. Charlotte area does everything it can to get rid of blight. That's why everything looks nice a new. Also we are near mountains and oceans and Charlotte has tons of free family events and lots of things to do.
