How Do You Really feel About Californians Transferring Right here?
Ok so I’m going to initiate this by saying that I’ve moved a lot in my life.
Everywhere I seem to have gone in my adult life, they have the same questions and feelings that they ask about a certain thing.
Why do Californians keep moving to our state and how do we get to stop it?
Let me just say this. I lived in the Bay Area for about 2 1/2 years. I loved it there. Honestly, I would go back there if it wasn’t that expensive. Well, before you get upset and say things like, “Fine, go back. Texas doesn’t want you here” or anything, give me a chance to discuss this with you.
In my life I have lived in Iowa, Ohio, Arizona, Colorado, California, back to Colorado, Oklahoma, a third term in Colorado and now Texas. To say that I’ve seen some very different states and cultures is an understatement.
Every state has its “vibe” per se. Sometimes the mood in one state doesn’t suit the person, so they go somewhere else. Sometimes they are transferred or move to a state for a job. The latter describes my life.
As a child, my father was moved anywhere to repair troubled sales departments in his company. He would turn it over and go to the next place to fix it. I hated it as a kid, but I’ll tell you that. I accept very different cultures and vibes and have a little bit of each of the states I’ve lived in as part of my personality.
Californians aren’t that bad. Yes, they have a slightly different personality, especially these locals or someone who has lived there for more than 10 years. It also depends on what part of California they lived in. There are VERY different sectors in California, similar to Texas. For example, a person from Dallas is very different from one from Amarillo, wouldn’t you agree?
In theory, you could compare someone from Los Angeles to someone from Dallas, or someone from San Francisco to someone from Austin. Big cities all have similarities, and so do the types of people who live in them. However, California is getting a bad shell for me for some reason.
The main criticism of the Californians is their driving style. They “drive too fast” or “are assholes” on the road. Well, I’d hate to tell you, but Texas doesn’t have the best drivers either. Come on admit it. Texans are guilty of these things too, but for some reason the comment “must be from California” gets into the conversation.
I’ve also seen a lot of discussions about politics as to why Californians don’t seem welcome here. Many people think that Californians on this spectrum don’t match the majority of Texas, but is it really that bad? Diversity is what we want across the country. A different perspective from the outside is not necessarily bad.
Most of the California people I’ve met here aren’t all that bad. I don’t see any reason why they wouldn’t fit into life in Texas the way I could.
Oh, and why I would be moving back to the Bay Area so soon? Yes, it has to do with my sports teams. I’m a die-hard fan of the Giants and 49ers, and I claim the Sharks as my hockey team. I am very excited to have 3 of my 4 favorite teams in the same area where I can see them play in person. I bet you didn’t see THAT as a reason to go back, did you?
It’s your turn. Do you think it’s cool when Californians move in? Or would you prefer to stay or go somewhere else? Let me know below
