The only people I know who moved to Austin were low level actors who could not afford to live in LA. Joe Rogan is not a Californian; besides Redneck/Rube states send their shit bags to CA via the military.
Odette Annable lives in Austin because she could afford LA during the Covid times.
California is a lifestyle state; no surf or snow in shit hole Texas. I used to travel to Dallas for work and it is a concrete shit hole with nothing to offer; the used to think they were fancy by offering California wine in their restaurants.
