I'm a southerner (not TX, but living in TN currently) and I really dream of making it to CA some day.

The south is cheaper for a reason, and CA is expensive for a reason. You get what you pay for. Red State governance is truly abysmal, the climate is terrible, and there is precious little BLM land to explore.

If enough people leave CA to reduce the price (or enough people move to the south to raise the price here) I'd gladly move to the west coast.

And yet the economic growth of the red states, particularly in last few years has outpaced the blue states. Not to mention the tons of people moving into red states. Hence there are many that disagree with your assessment. I’m sure you‘ll miss Tennessee’s no state income tax once you move to California.

Yeah but it's going to take 100 years for them to catch up with California, the 5th largest economy in the world
