Texas is worse off??? How???
The economy is better here. Food and housing is cheaper here. The tech industry is booming here while it's dying on the vine in Silicon Valley. AND you can still visit the State Capitol building with a fully loaded 9mm handgun hanging from your belt because the gun-grabbing liberal nazi goon squad hasn't taken them away from us. Oh and uh, our governor is running for president. What's Jerry Brown doing... other than jerking off to pictures of Linda Ronstadt???
I grew up in the pea-soup fog of Pacifica and lived in Burlingame, Santa Clara and up in Sonoma County for 43 of my 45 years, so I know for a fact that the weather in the bay area SUCKS! Here we have 10 months of sunshine and 2 months of rain that we call winter.
There are only THREE GOOD THINGS about the bay area... the 49ers, sourdough bread & dungeoness crab. Everything else about the bay area and indeed the entire state, sucks harder than a black hole. In particular the culture.
Did I talk about earthquakes, floods and wildfires yet???
No? Ah well, nevermind.
Having lived in California for a few years, I would say that the San Diego area has the best weather BY FAR.

Where did you live?
Did you actually experience the weather of the entire state or did you just live in SD or go visit SD one time and decide it was tops?
My favorite weather in the state is probably down in Pismo or San Luis Obispo

I wasnt being serious about the weather being best in the world. But I am serious about Texas being in a poor state of condition( read broke as shit) and just being generally awful with the exception of the food there(hmmm BBQ)
Texas is, well, let's see here: Rick Perry, George W. Bush, the board of education, Cameron Todd Willingham, the culture of capital punishment as a whole, guns, religious zealotry both inane and dangerous, smog-filled Houston, airless Dallas, scorched wasteland El Paso, and the way they treat their immigrants, their blacks, their gays, and their women. But mostly Texas is awful because despite all the miseries it inflicts upon the rest of the country (and its own citizenry), Texans rarely stop loudly and aggressively stating what a great, awesome, perfect place Texas is. The Texan ego is as big as the state, and no matter how much you point out to them that, uh, hey what about all this extremely terrible stuff, they will not listen. If you guys would just shut up about if for a while, the rest of us might like you a little more.

You are definitely wrong about Texas being broke, Texas is way better off than California in terms of general employment(stuff like UPS that pays much better than min wage), as for higher level employment it's probably around equal but who knows. Texas state funds are also much better off, houses are much cheaper, taxes are lower, there's a lot of factors that go into people wanting to live there.
I'm not from Texas and haven't spent much time there besides for airport transfers, but those are the facts. Texas is easier to make a living in than California, but that doesn't mean it's more desirable to be there for everyone.

Some whiny liberal fancy boy doesn't like Texas? Big fooking surprise there.

"Wait â Texas? Wasnât Texas supposed to be thriving even as the rest of America suffered? Didnât its governor declare, during his re-election campaign, that âwe have billions in surplusâ? Yes, it was, and yes, he did. But reality has now intruded, in the form of a deficit expected to run as high as $25 billion over the next two years."

Funny how you would quote an article written by a man who's own blog is titled The Conscience of a Liberal
I would expect nothing less from a Californian. Way to keep the faith.
