Californians moving to Texas seems new. But for the rest of the West, California had more people than Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Utah, Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico and Colorado. Combined. A tiny % of Californians coming to town with coastal equity can upset the balance in these much smaller states. It’s a joke not joke that people sell their 60 year old bungalow in LA and buy a 20 acre horse ranch for cash in Boise.
