In which direction are people moving? From Calif. to Texas Or Texas to California. I think this just might tell us something.

Well Howie,
People are moving in both directions, and both states are growing.
Succesful Texans are moving to California and the Folks in California who just can't make a go of it, are moving east.
This is the percentage change in estimated population for the 27 month period from April 1, 2010 to July 1, 2012, the most recent estimates available from the United States Census Bureau.[1]
Texas gained +3.62%
California gained +2.11%
It sounds like there are more folks who cant make it in Paradise than there are succesful Texans

You know Sparky, if taxes are your concern, you really should not be living in The Bay Area....
Like alot of good things in life, if you have to ask, you cant afford it.
But I bet the bundle you make selling that house of yours will go along way in Lubbock

You guys don't know anything. Texas has the Iditarod race and California has the Alamo. I have to remind you all of everything. Jesus. Clueless prats.
And California has graphs. They're all in Jim's house. Every now and again he shares them with us.

Just kidding. 1. ammo is still expensive. 2. definitely a waste of time. 3. I hate Houston.

Can't get ammo shipped from out of state to my county in Calif.
I don't even know what legal here anymore, so I don't go to the range anymore either.
Electrical power in Calif is twice the cost of TX.
Water too
Gas is shitty 91 octane 10% alcohol, and I bet it gets worse.
income tax is 10% I think, and headed higher, TX = 0
Sales tax is double
Roads are bad and getting worse by the day
We're out of water pretty much
Can't hunt anymore, too many people unless you ride a horse in a day or so.
Boarding horses cost as much as a house payment in TX
Car in insurance is stupid high
Car registration is 10 times or more as TX. Might be 20 or 30 times if you have nice stuff
Home owners insurance is nearly double, F#@&%g lawyers
Schools are the worst in the country, with the exception of Arkansas and Hawaii.
democrat veto proof legislature
Jerry Brown
They didn't even run a Republican for congress in my district last time.
Housing costs are beyond reality and going higher.
Unemployment is a third higher going towards double
Can't hang killers anymore
Can't afford cops anymore
The weather is cooler 5 months a year

So Howie, you have convinced me, that Texas is way cool!
Hope you enjoy it there.
Just one thing, among many other irrational statements you said this:
"Schools are the worst in the country, with the exception of Arkansas and Hawaii".
You may not be aware of this but two of the top four US Universities are not only in California, but they are both only few miles from you.
Now as for High school, this is from US News/World Report
How States Compare in the 2013 Best High Schools Rankings
California performed the best in the latest rankings of public high schools.
April 22, 2013 RSS Feed Print
A state-by-state breakdown of the 2013 Best High Schools rankings shows that California is this year's leading performer, with 27.8 percent of its eligible schools earning gold and silver medals.
Maryland came in second with 25.7 percent, and Connecticut was third with 18.9 percent.
The gold and silver awards reflect which schools are most successfully preparing students for college, based on students participating in and achieving passing scores on Advanced Placement and International Baccalaureate tests. For a school to be eligible for a gold or silver medal, its students must also do well on the appropriate statewide tests, as explained in the 2013 Best High Schools rankings methodology.
When it comes to the total number of gold medal schools, California had the most – 94 – followed by New York with 65. Only 38 states had at least one school that earned a gold medal, and six of those had only one such school within their borders.
Bronze medals did not count in this state-by-state analysis.
This year's rankings covered 49 states and the District of Columbia. Nebraska did not provide enough assessment data for its schools to be eligible for a medal.
Hope you enjoy it there.
