California exodus is a myth, UC research project finds

This is very funny to read, because I had the exact opposite journey as you.

I love California so much that I buckled the popular media narrative and moved _from_ Texas _to_ California. Funnily enough, people talk about the California-to-Texas pipeline as if it's a new thing, but it's been an observed phenomenon since at least 2005, and it's a lot smaller than the media would have you think (usually net ~40k year leave CA for TX, with about 80k going to Texas and 40k coming from Texas). That is 0.1% migration, and seemingly negligible in either direction.

Out of curiosity: what city in Texas to what city in California? I think that's another huge factor in all of this - both CA and TX have vastly varying degrees of cultures across its cities.

Dallas to Los Angeles -- very similar in some regards, very different in others.

Funnily enough, I'd say Houston (which as a Dallasite I grew up bashing on, in the way SF does LA) is probably the most similar Texas city to Los Angeles.
