Those who have any question about why Texas is becoming an attractive place to which Californians are moving, check out this study by the American Legislative Exchange Council (this isn’t new, it’s a few months old).
Just to see if U-Haul is still having to pay its employees to drive empty trucks back to California, I checked to see if it is still vastly more expensive to rent a truck going FROM California to Texas than visa versa.
To rent a 26′ truck from West Los Angeles to Austin – $2,151.
To rent that same truck from Austin to West LA – $678.
That should be very telling…
