> How many rich tech people from SV/Cali who paid top dollar for Texas property are now quickly fleeing after the recent political happenings that stripped the rights of half the voting population?

Not very many at all, in my estimation. Those "rich tech people from SV/Cali" moved to Texas in the first place for their bottom lines, not because they thought Texas was the vanguard of progressive politics. I doubt a socially conservative state becoming more socially conservative is going to trigger many reverse moves.

If I had to guess, the extremely restrictive abortion laws (prohibited after six weeks of gestation with very few exceptions) that you're obliquely referring to are not going to stand for very long, either.
