One reason why she thinks this is happening is that people who moved to Texas for fully remote work during the pandemic are now coming back.
“You know, this strict enforcement from employers working in-office, in-person at least some of the time or full-time was a major contributor,” she said.
And some people here made fun of the AI trend:
Another reason?
“It’s not just workers returning. It’s new jobs being created in some of these burgeoning industries like AI,” she said. “The Bay Area remains this epicenter of innovation when it comes to tech.”
While California is still seeing a net loss of residents per year to Texas, the data shows the number of Texans coming to California is increasing.
“We’re definitely losing more people than we’re gaining, but it’s eased,” said Abby Raisz, Senior Research Manager with the Bay Area Council Economic Institute.

Hallas and her family now live in Pleasanton. They moved here from outside of Dallas, Texas, at the beginning of the year.
Dallas becomes TX. Pleasanton becomes CA. That is how a liberal journalist likes to twist the picture. SF is South and East Bay are NC
So much for the hypothesis VC money is moving to other so-called tech hubs. Instead CA gets an even bigger share.
However, even as the pandemic winds down, California still dominates the venture world — in fact, it now gets an even bigger slice of the venture dollars pie — with Massachusetts and New York following per usual, according to Crunchbase data.
Through the first three quarters of the year, California startups received nearly $54 billion in investment — making up 51% of the total funding market in the U.S., per Crunchbase data. The number puts the state on pace to receive $72 billion by year’s end.
In comparison, in 2019 — the last pre-pandemic year — the state saw about $67 billion in funding — or 47% of the market.
You still don’t get it and never will. If all that venture money was creating hybrid jobs in SF, then the office space market would be on fire. Instead, the vacancy rate is still increasing. Now it’s just sad to watch.
Exactly. They struggled with politics. People in CA don’t realize how absolutely insane the politics are. People outside CA laugh at what a joke it is. I tell people here that I’m from Michigan.
The sane people leave SF because of it. The insane people migrate back to SF, since they can’t function anywhere else. Their fragile egos need their echo chamber.
Weather was a huge factor in my decision. I need to get outdoors most of the year. That’s why I chose an elevation of 5-6000 ft in AZ. The politics is more libertarian than conservative in a lot of ways. AZ is one of the few states where Independents outnumber both Republicans and Democrats in most areas. Common folk with guns make me feel safer, not less safe. Little chance of some maniac shooting up the place when everyone else is armed. You couldn’t even rob a convenience store here. The place is very Christian and I’m not but I feel safer around people who submit to God than around people eager to submit to the primacy of the State.
People coming back to SF because of politics are crazy. What about people who leave SF because of politics? Oh, they are the sane ones.
Fact is people from both sides of the political spectrum move to places they find more pleasant for their political tastes. Nothing wrong with that. They aren’t crazy, or have fragile egos.
You either think abortion is murder or you don’t. And it’s not necessarily a religious debate.
As for those books - not sure what, if anything, Arizona has banned but I’ve seen some of the stuff taken off shelves in Florida and if I had kids I sure wouldn’t want them exposed it. Lots of things are regulated in the public sphere; no one anywhere is being told what they can or can’t read in private or what they can buy for their children.
