That’s been a hidden instability of those markets, in my opinion - housing prices being so outlandish makes it trivial to cash out. For an average renter, moving probably maxes out at a few thousand.
Weak topsoil because of too few roots leads to a dust bowl like scenario.

I'm really curious about the macro political effects too- if a surge of CA-based liberal leaning tech workers move to Texas, is Texas purple?

If you look at the 4 big cities of Texas they are all blue. Its just surrounded by a sea of red.

Hence the reliance on gerrymandering to maintain majorities. Look at the congressional districts around Austin

This has already happened in Nevada and now Arizona.

The 2020 election will tell. Up to now, it has definitely not been purple.

H. Clinton did relatively well in Texas -- it's one of the few states where she out-performed Obama. Still, a 800,000 vote gap is much too large too close in only four years.
Housing prices, local politics, just about everything is gonna suck real bad for the people in the destination locales because a bunch of people with more money than them are showing up and trying to tell them what to do.
