You sound like a person from the Qing dynasty. Must be why you move to a backward state like Texas.

Didn’t know you’re a Manchu.
Powerball winner went all in on California real estate.
Most lottery winners make terrible decisions and end up bankrupt, so…. I wouldn’t benchmark that as good decision making.
.
In other words, prices of real estate in CA are artificially jacked up by this billionaire. Bubble!
Texas helping out CA.
Moar Moar… Our ever sympathetic and helpful landlords in Bay Area will house and feed them for free and pay them $50/hour 
At least the officials interviewed seem like straight shooters. No grandstanding, no taking the bait from the reporters.
And the reference to staying with “neighbors” seems to indicate that the illegals were dropped off where at least some of them had families.

Houston, Dallas and Austin top the list of major U.S. cities with the highest office-vacancy rates, according to Moody’s Analytics. About 25% of their office space wasn’t leased as of the third quarter. That was more than double New York’s vacancy rate of 12% and well above San Francisco’s vacancy rate of 17%.
Even though Texas companies are the most eager to force employees RTO:
Texas office floors are struggling to find tenants even though the state’s workers have been more eager to get back to the office than in most other places. According to Kastle Systems, which measures occupancy by counting keycard swipes in 10 major metro areas, Houston, Austin and Dallas have the highest office-return rates.
Build it and they will come. They are just preparing for all the CA companies that’ll relocate.

According to Michael, crash Bros have been wrong for the past few years. Again wrong today. In fact, many of these crash Bros are shopping for real estate. Sound familiar

How is this type of program funded? Guess @manch would be happy to see his State income and property taxes increase to fund such programs.

You own two properties in CA too right? Thanks for the donation. Maybe we can change the rule to only tax out-of-state property owners.

Gov. Gavin Newsom on Friday signed Assembly Bill 91, which was inspired in part by a decades-old law in Texas that permits Mexican residents like Agustin to pay in-state tuition for their public education because they live so close to the border. The California law will permit low-income Mexican residents and citizens who live within 45 miles of the Mexico-California border to pay in-state tuition.
@hanera donating both in CA and TX 
A regular Mexico citizen needs a visa in order to enter US legally, correct? I am curious to know what kind of Mexico citizens would be able to cross the border every day. This can’t be on a tourist visa, can it?
