- Tesla’s gigafactory and Apple’s second-largest campus aren’t the only big businesses coming to Texas. From Oracle to Hewlett Packard Enterprise, Elon Musk to Joe Rogan, Texas has lured an increasing number of big businesses and billionaires away from California since the pandemic began. While California’s population and job growth both slowed to a trickle, Texas added more residents than any other state in 2020. CNBC talks to those moving and longtime Texans about the reasons behind the trend and what it could mean for the future of the Lone Star State.

Is Texas Becoming The New California?
fun fact: when millions of people all flock to the same small area it stops being affordable
Capitalism for you, demand and supply
@@blablabla6975 There isn't an economic system in existence that could handle a situation like that without decades worth of forewarning.
Though capitalism would actually be the best system for it.
property regs are more lax in texas though
Can’t be helped. It’s a double edged sword but let’s be real. Can you afford a nice house in Austin at this moment anyways? Even a couple years ago?
Texas is pretty big man... if Texas took care of the roads like we do in FL I'd say it's the best place to be.
“The cost of living here is normal. It’s not artificially inflated.”
This statement won’t age well.
It's true Texas is cheaper to live in but like anything that's cheap there will be a higher price to pay in other areas.
Lower wages, less worker protections and other expensivd costs.
Hard to justify spending a lot of money for property in a state where the power grid is unreliable
I'll come back to this comment in two years.
@@Comeback180 Higher property taxes mostly. It sucks to buy a house in Texas, unless you get in early (buy low, sell high).
@@rhenry212 oh is it? California begs to differ.
15 years from now: “Is Nebraska becoming the new Texas?”
No, Kansas 😳
No, Georgia
Any southern state can become TEXAS. You already have the back water mentality.
@@erseshe a!
God forbid 😭😂
My neighbor moved to Texas. His home sold in 24hrs here in Cali, there were 10 buyers vying for the property on the first day of the listing. Everybody is happy. However, coming back to Cali is very, very difficult. If prices jump another 30% over the next 5 years or so, the home will be well over $1M. He was a gardener, and sold flowers on the side. It's crazy.
Prices are currently dropping
same in texas

My aunt couldn't afford her cali condo. Moved to Texas and bought a 3 bedroom house outright and still had money left over
What's crazy is owning a million dollar home with the salary of a gardener.
Ironically, the low prices everyone loves won’t exist for too long if everyone goes there.
Yes and no. There so much land
@@danielpeters2282 No one wants to live in the desert tho, especially the rich most of them will be near the big cities
@@ilelli3640 and yet Las Vegas
@@danielpeters2282 Yes after it became a big city ;)
Low prices are for shitholes..
"Farmland waiting to be developed" Oh lord please don't...we need them and I would rather look at a field of cows than a business park.
No kidding. The way they see it is it's more important for me to destroy this perfect fertile soil and run my business rather than feed the nation.
Just shows most people from cities have no idea where food actually comes other than supermarkets.
@@aaronaragon5087 Well Bill gates just became largest farm land owner so 90% of what the public eats will be gmo 😏
Government and business doesn't care about the farmland. They will have lab farms for artificial food that they will force onto the grocery shelves. Or at this rate, the online grocery. Times are changing, hard to stop the influence of greedy billionaires. smh
@@broskiblue726 absolutely 🤮
"There are farmers fields around me, waiting to be developed"
Those fields are doing what they are supposed to...making food.

@@hbb7528 and several media sources and economic reports..
No, they grow stuff thats not even for humans. Ita for liveatock, manufacturing and other countries
hows the water situation? just saying the central plains are going back being a desert
@@FluidMotionEnergy stuff we need...to produce other goods
In my town in Oregon as a kid, there were fast fields of farm land everywhere.
Those fields are now condos. Rent went up 35%
And thousands of people from California moved here.
We have that in the valley but still hella smog and expensive
Same in boise idaho.
I hope native Texans can brace themselves for the surge in rent prices, utilities and groceries.
@Heather Mckenzie From what I gather it is happening as we speak. It's only a matter of time until it becomes truly affordable.
property taxes are gonna go through the roof. Texas makes most of its money by property tax ( 3rd highest in the US). i see so many people filing for a homestead exemption, but if everyone did that, the state wouldn't make any money. Plus there is good reason to think Houston will become just like Detroit if it doesn't diversify its economy.
@M S That’s because Californians are moving here. They need to stay in their state. They destroyed it. They can fix it.
I live in Reno. It's already happened here. Due to an influx of Californians, rental prices are surging. Reno is one of the least affordable rental markets in the nation due to rising rental costs and stagnant wages. I'm fortunate in that I'm not affected by it, but I work with people that despite making 60k a year give up half their take home to rent a decent place. Half of all Reno residents don't earn enough to rent a one bedroom apartment not exceeding 35% of their gross. I'm telling you Texas. .you're going to regret this and once these people move in , they'll view you as the problem
I just moved back to Galveston Texas, from California, yes rent has, gone up alittle, believe or not since alot of people moved from California, rent went down alittle in certain places. Its starting to balance out
30 years from now: Is Montana becoming the new Texas?
@Vegas Ace i think Wyoming based off reviews I’ve heard
Montana all the way
@@PRINCE4ACE , Wyoming is the least populous state, no one will be flocking here in mass.
@@earlmcmanus194 I mean isn’t Kanye west building a city there or something
@@nyckidd6004 , I love Kanye but even the King of Saudi Arabia would have a tough time building a city in a random rural area.
This guy didn’t even point out that when you have big techs big salary, influx of new residents. Cost of living will rises fast.
Exactly just look at the San Francisco Bay Area.
Common sense, right?
That’s good, but not everyone gets to make the $100k year salaries. This leads to disproportionate incomes.
Have you seen Austin? The housing prices have SKYROCKETED there. Plus the traffic is LA level.
Texas ain’t what it was 20 years ago
Not true. it's what the liberals did to their area. Houston and LA have a similar GDP per capita and population over 1 million, yet Houston has lower taxes and regulations, and Housing costs twice as less.
Their are multiple different building permits for commercial builders that not only increase price in time spent on project, approval and regulation, including specifications adds costs for upkeep, and some even speculate the real-estate bubble is artificially kept up through deals between home-owners associations, realtors, and politicians, and given the potential short-term fallout of cheaper real-estate prices, I'm willing to believe.
Let them build as big as they want, as fast as they want, free of intervention, their will still be grievance lawsuits for deliberate shoddy construction causing loss of life and damage.
How did you argue gentrification being a good thing? I'm a residential hvac technician in the DFW and I've encountered people of all walks in my work and I'm a transplant myself. Many would argue that this influx of people from California is making it far more difficult for those that already live here and damn near impossible to get into buying a home if you weren't already a homeowner.
Lol it’s capitalism get over it
i agree with both of you, but i lean toward's OP's assertion that this is bad. it IS just capitalism, working as intended- enriching the few and screwing everyone else over. gentrification and capitalism go hand-in-hand in the worst possible way, and i can only see this being negative for native texans, who will probably end up being told to move if they can't afford texas anymore. it's a vicious cycle and destroys any sense of community. in my opinion, we need to radically change zoning laws, minimum build requirements, minimum parking requirements, and most of all, the abolishment of corporate landlords, property speculation, and price hiking. if not abolishment, than regulation and increased taxation, bare minimum. preferably on a federal level.
This is nothing more than a “ California Trash Talking” report.
@@feyelsbells7839 Stopping people from charging as high when they are selling/renting out property just reduces the incentive to build in the first place. Then you have a shortage. Then you have higher prices not lower. The real problem is inflation, our government's spending is way past out of control and that creates inflation-translated higher prices everywhere on everything. Keep the regulation to a minimum, stop inflation, and let people profit from building houses and the market would go down. Too many brainwashed people for that to ever happen tho.
10 years from now: "No. Wyoming isn't becoming the new Texas."
To hot there
This is why I picked WV, its got a bad wrap, and nobody wants to come here.
🤣😂😆😂🤣4 years later...
Please stay outta utah we don't need you sissies
If people keep moving there, yes it will.
The saddest & most tragic part of all this is that we are giving up our agriculture & farmland to make consumable garbage
@Michael C -- Yes. Exactly. Just like the native populations gave up their rich and varied land management lifestyles for Anglo agri-business and a cholesterol-centric food culture (in short 'consumable garbage'). Yes.
Free market capitalism.
Thats just humankind. Dont expect any mercy or care for nature. Nobody really cares when money is involved.
You can grow plants in a factory. Farmlands are not necessary, they're just cheap.
you must not be from tx. if you were, you would know that most of that "farmland" is sitting between bedroom communities or even subdivisions for sale or just waiting for the price to rise. most of that "farmland" just produces hay or feedstock and might have some cattle. so not really what you envision when you hear "farmland."
As a Californian, becoming the next ‘California’ is not something you want
the crime rate in texas is probbaly gonna explode if more californians come here. some californians are good tho, like u
@@dantecavezza2323 lol wot? did you look at the crimes rates of both states? the are very similar and i think Texas is a bit worse off on a few things.
@@LegendNinja41 meanwhile, in michigan...
Rejoice Californians...you’ll be getting some of your state back.
@@LegendNinja41 most of that difference is in cartel activity
California's problems don't come from liberalism. They come from a combination of growth and resistance to affordable housing regulation and projects. It's the real estate costs, not regulation costs.
Thank you.
If you live in Texas buy a house ASAP before the prices become completely unaffordable! The ppl from Cali have A LOT of money and can easily raise the cost of housing once they flood in.
Don't buy a house in Texas. Leave. Property taxes are going to go through the roof.
I did last month in austin...my house will be worth double in 10 years
Has happened in Western North Carolina. Housing prices are completely out of touch and traffic is out of control!
'once they flood in' - this has been happening for well over a decade now.

Homeless and foreclosures will be common in inner cities and spread out.
It’s basically gonna be like Oakland
CLEAN, SOBER, SAFE, HEALTHY AND PROSPEROUS CALIFORNIA
@@sanbruno3606 lmao sure
@@john.t645 That's the joke. LA has 1 homeless for every 62 people. In my Republican hometown of Marion County, Fl, with 359,000 it's only 1 for every 497 spread out over rural countryside, and I still meet the occasional homeless, I can only imagine how bad it must be when people are crammed together in LA with 8 times more per capita. Everybody knows California is a cesspit, and the people are what made it that way, and nobody's going to convince people that they aren't responsible and are somehow the "victims" of the people they elected.
On certain aspects, yes. However, the diversity of the landscape and great weather in California is what Texas cannot replicate.
Have you been to Texas? The only thing we don't have in terms of landscape is a huge fault line. Ok maybe a couple of other things, I grant you, but there are mountains, deserts, forests, rolling hills, a coastline, mesas, rivers, lakes and so much more. My intension is not to harp on you, of course, but there are a lot of similarities between the two than you give credit for. Also, Texas is huge enough that the weather varies greatly from the cool weather in the panhandle, dry and hot in the western/southwestern portion of the state, humid as hell in the central Hill country and a mixture of all in the eastern part of the state. While the weather in California is exacerbating conditions for huge wildfires, so is Texas. Climate change is something that should be taken seriously regardless of political affiliation, because these two great states deserve to be preserved in all their glory, not be burned to the ground.
@@lifjyruss I’ve lived in Texas my whole life we don’t have the California weather. 😂😂🤣😂😂
@@lifjyruss Exactly what I was thinking...Texas is so huge that it's landscape varies greatly!
@@lifjyruss I drove across all of Texas from El Paso to Texarkana. I didn't see anything pretty or scenic in any way. I'm sure there's good things about Texas but nobody is going there for the weather or natural beauty.

"There's plenty of room, like, there are just farmer's fields just waiting to be developed."
That pretty much sums up the attitude of the new arrivals into Texas. Good luck.
I was thinking the same thing, the nerve!
So, we will have no farmlands?
I thought this statement was awful! Already trying to change Texas in so many ways! Please stop!
@@mcg976 that’s what transplants are thinking from New York and California. They think they’re so much smarter and don’t realize how dumb they really sound. If we wanted concrete jungles all over the state we would have it by now. We’re an oil and gas, ranching and farming state.
Who woulda thought people from California would be selfish and nearsighted?
What these economic geniuses are overlooking is "supply and demand' You bet you could by 5 times the house for the money you'd spend in California. The more people who move there, builders and developers are also in business...and they will see this increase in demand and adjust their prices accordingly. And with more people, there will need to be more roads. And more schools. And more parks. And the other thing they are overlooking is that while houses didn't cost as much in Texas, jobs didn't pay as much jobs in California. What's going to happen is that all these people welcoming this California influx will eventually start to resent them when they see the increases in the cost of living.
Trust me. Only CNBC is happy to see this emigration. They want to see Texas turn blue. I wish it was practical for us to secede.
“Our real estate costs are a third of what you get in the Bay Area”... ...for now. Property values have risen significantly in the last 5 years, and the reason is BECAUSE they’re relocating.
People in California are richer, and will absolutely price people in Texas out which will be incredibly ironic. It's like they don't even see it coming
Supply and demand.
But it still won't reach the levels of the Bay Area because there simply is more space. Houston is the 4th largest US city and will soon overtake Chicago, but mostly because the city spans 669 square miles vs Chicago's 234. Everything is excessively more spread out in Texas. It's cities aren't surrounded by water, dense forest, or mountains in the same way California's largest cities are.
Same with LV. It's just the grandest of irony how these heavy capitalists don't realize what is impending. But it's the same millionaires who are looking for that "pull yourself up by your bootstraps mentality" 🙄
@@kyleolson9636 I agree with you regarding space, but with no income tax the capital each of these individuals have is significantly higher, meaning they can drive the market higher.
That's how it always starts, they seek out lack of regulations so they can then regulate it in their favor.
Or the government starts to enact legislation and the businesses realize they can have input. Keep government small and it wouldn't be influenced so much.
People should be treated like corporations. Corporations don't go to jail, even for murdering masses of people (negligent homicide). They just get fined. Would definitely free up prisons and increase state revenue.

A lot of us do vote but they make it hard for many people who are poor to vote and the state is gerrymandered out the ass it feels like no matter what we do nothing happens but there is a lot of people here that just don't vote and it really sucks because there is a huge amount of people who would vote blue that are native Texans people here feel like they can't make change especially working class people the amount of people in my life I've helped register to vote is insane I'm doing my part here to get people around me to vote and other young people around here have been trying too not everyone but you're right about people moving here voting red it makes it even more difficult to make any change since they're flooding in and canceling out some of the progress we have been making

Not entirely true. California isn't as liberal as people think. In fact, California had the most people that voted Republican (for trump) in the 2020 election, even more than Texas or Florida! Not everyone moving from California is liberal, there are plenty of conservatives though they are greatly outnumbered the left-leaning people, clearly. And this is coming from a Californian :)
If you have a system where there aren't many rules, then that means some people will do some bad things, for years and years, and get away with it. After awhile, it can become a bad habit, and can grow endlessly like a bad disease.
Why do you even care. You probably won’t be around when it gets “bad”. Just live your damn life and if it gets to the point that you can’t live there anymore because of the “dems” policies then just find a new place that’s more conservative.

Made me sick to hear that's how they think of farmland. Just something to turn into housing developments. Disgusting.
@@blandgreen4135 it’s so disgusting to develop housing that prevents a lack of one which will lead to higher prices to the point where you end up with a small apartment that’s sets you back 1500 a month!!!!
"There are farmer's fields waiting to be developed" What do you mean by that? the purpose of those fields is to produce food. Nothing more. Don't start expanding and taking the farmer's land.
Ikr what a dumb thing to say 😒
All that matters to these people is endless acquisition. There is more than enough wealth and commodities on earth to distribute to the world and get them jumpstarted, but all that matters is making a line on a graph go up.
I thought they meant they can develop/create more farms/farmland... oof
yeah it sucks i grew up about a hour away from Houston and we had about 10,000 people max forever here, in the last4-5 years its over 100,000. all the fields and woods i grew up riding dirt bikes and horses , fishing, hunting, and just doing kid things is all houses and businesses. luckily we are still at the "edge of civilization" and still have the country right outside town but still it sucks when they modernize a town built in 1837.
so what? if the farmers want to sell their land to cities or even be turned into ones, then so be it? its not like theres a shortage of available farmland. stupid comment

Texas has been too buisness friendly, so much so that later it'll probably come to bite then back. I just hope that when exas changes it's laws, it doesn't mess up the economy there.
BTW what I mean by coming to bite them back, is that they won't be able to do much for their people or build infrastructure if they keep lowering taxes for big companies, and smaller income sources will have to pay for the big companies.
Very true.
It's cyclical.

That's how the development of cities and places work. Once you reach a certain level of population, businesses become profitable, it's good for people. But once it reaches the saturation level, new people can't come, they need to go somewhere else, so other cities or suburbs start developing and so on. This has always been the case since the Industrial Revolution.
It's the demoncrats who planned this out they want to destroy each state by having their cult like followers leave blue states for red states thus kicking the whole equal voting system out because everyone leaving will be voting blue these people arent going to change voting habits that's the plan TEXIT needs to happen asap👍
Places like Tokyo have a significantly higher density of people living together, yet the cost living there does not compare to places like San Francisco-
It’s not about the number of people moving into the state, the real problem is that the US does not know how to manage high density urban infrastructure because they have been spoiled with having so much land to work with.
Their parasites that set up legalese regimes and are blind to the fact that despite both LA and Houston having similar GDP per capita and a population over 1 million, taxes are lower, housing is nearly half as expensive. Let people build as fast as they want to build, their will still be grievance lawsuits and blacklisting to prevent them from ever making a living in an industry they've spent considerable portions of their life getting into. If they build as big as they want unimpeded, and laissez faire continues, things'll stay cheap. The problem is they have the mentality of saints instead of refugees, and when you try to call them on their narcissistic bull, they simply walk away.

Yeah those are called democrats
As corporations relocate, Texas needs to be ready for a flood of special interest monies, high cost real estate, and an increase in homelessness due to rising rents. A boom to a local economy does not always improve the quality of people's lives. For the record I have lived in the Bay area for nearly six decades and I have witnessed the boom first hand. Lastly traffic jams will also affect their quality of life
Can't imagine all the road rage with so many guns around 😳
Yes! Any city that becomes a hotspot for jobs ends up with high rents, special interest money and increase homelessness. It doesn’t matter if it’s a democrat or republican city like people want to say. A popular city will always end up with many issues if it is not properly controlled as the city grows.
Texas has worst traffic jams in the country already. It's worse than so cal. Let's be fair here: Almost no one from the SF/Bay Area is moving to TX, but quite a few people from SoCal are, because TX and SoCal are very similar, offering similar work, similar politics of the voters in SoCal, and even similar weather, so it's a comfortable transition. Many of them are flocking to AZ as well, maybe even in higher numbers, but for some sort of reason it's not being reported.

I've lived in DFW my entire life, I'm 23 now and graduated from college right when the lockdown started and the work-from-home culture became predominant. I went to UTD and lived in Richardson with 2 other roommates during college, and rent was so expensive that I moved to my Dad's as soon as I graduated, and took a temporary job in finance with a lot of overtime. I'm making close to 90k a year (as long as this job and the overtime keeps up) and saving every paycheck like it'll be the last because I really just want to be able to buy a house in this area before it's too late. My parents bought the first house that I ever lived in in a North Texas suburb for 90k back in the late 80's, or early 90's. It sits right across from a trailer park and right down the street from the sewage treatment plant, yet it's valued at over 300k today. It's going to be brutal if I wait to long to find my first house, and I think a lot of it's due to people moving in and renovating house after house in middle class neighborhoods, turning them into high class neighborhoods, and some houses being completely demolished and being rebuilt as a cookie-cutter white brick 2 story house with perfect grass outside and 0 trees in their yard.

Those locusts are called "democrats". You can't stop it. Try, & you will go to jail.
@@cme98 No, don’t vilify the other side. Most are excellent people.
@@cme98 Dont forget the billionaires and giant companies
@@cme98 i imagine you have a wonderful assortment of tinfoil hats.
@@cme98 my god, people will never wake up. It doesn’t matter if you vote Democrat or Republican, nothing is going to change. Everything is going to change for the worse. Both parties are controlled by 🇮🇱
Don’t mess with Texas
everywhere is becoming the new California. California is too expensive and is a huge state. They have to go somewhere....
But those people that need to go somewhere need to realize the nightmare they are fleeing from is because of leftist policies that destroyed a once great state. Moving out of a state to a new state because one is fleeing high taxes, high crime, poor education systems, overcrowding, homeless encampments taking over public spaces, high prices, etc and then voting for the same failed democratic policies of the state one is fleeing from is just asinine.
@@firepower7654 The poorest states in the country are red shitholes, where people who complain about big government, are ironically also some of the biggest receivers of Welfare.
Get your point but nah, they need to stay lol
Actually it's manageable, you just have to play the system. First of all of course, don't get a huge car payment or any other massive debt. Get a really good job most likely in or near a city, avoid crushing student loans, and get multiple streams of income. The income part I managed by adopting two kids.

It's over for Texas... Noticed how they didn't interview any true Texans?
Yep
You didn't watch the video, did you? Colin Noire is an only child that grew up in Houston, TX.
That Texan gun loving activist dude moaning about "muh government interfering" was obviously not a true Texan..
HE WAS BLACK
@@dinsel9691 man you sound like a fun time.
@@dinsel9691 Wow. Your comment is so racist for saying that a black man that exercises his rights as a fellow American, "can't be a true Texan". Texas is heavily populated by blacks and we have a rich history of fighting for pro-diversity and equal rights causes. Stop trying to victimize people and slander those who refuse to entertain a victimized mindset because you.
“Gentrification lifts everybody up” Sounds like a real estate agent to me. Where do all the native people who can no longer afford rent go? 😂
Right!
Mexico? 🤷🏾♂️ Right? That's what the Texans say
Yup. Good luck Texas. It won’t be the same after this. I see high housing prices and overpopulation on its way.
They benefited from free movement when their grandparents moved out there a century ago and displaced or out-competed the locals, and now that the same is happening to them, they cry foul?
No one in the history of this country has ever been able to stop gentrification, there’s no use fighting it. It’s not like there’s no where to go, there are cheaper places to live. I’m considered low income but I live in a gentrified neighborhood that is much safer than what I used to be able to afford so I’m staying here.
Everytime I hear “exercise my right”, I feel those are the people who always make trouble everywhere they go.
