When I lived in Calgary I took advantage of the location to travel down the U.S. west coast a few times. It was really beautiful and safe back then. Now the people I know who still live there are saying Seattle shithole, Portland shithole, L.A. shithole, San Francisco shithole etc.
What the article below doesn't say is that the Californians moving to Texas are young, educated, talented, have money and are mostly in their prime or heading towards their prime earning and child producing years.
It seems like all of California is moving to Texas. Is that true? | The Kinder Institute for Urban Research (rice.edu)
