You must be f"ing joking!
The last thing we need in So Cal is more people from that fly-over state called Texas.
"real" people, good grief

The "Real" is refering to only the politicians, they say one thing then do another.

Texans seem to be more pragmatic, straight forward and have more of the old school morals and beliefs, honor, manners etc.
Californians are too socialist, bleeding heart, flavor of the day folks.

That's just my impression after 15 years in CA after 40 years as a Canadian.

Don't mean to offend anyone, just an outsider opinion is all I can offer, and don't even get me started on "Freedom". Americans that have lived in Canada for a while will understand that the US version of freedom is not nearly as free as the great white north of the Border. Zipping lips now!

I have to agree with this - as a Brit living in California for 21 years. Also spend time in Austin, Texas. (but not so much in summer!)
