Despite anxiety over Texas’ growth and billboards in California trying to persuade residents to stay put, many still chose to switch states, often picking Austin and the larger Central Texas region as their next home.
People selecting Texas over the Golden State cited affordability as a key factor. But for some, it’s come with different costs: dense traffic, a lack of dependable public transportation and scorching heat that transplants say is lowering their quality of life. An August report from Insider found that tech workers in particular are getting fed up with Texas, frustrated that career opportunities just aren’t as plentiful as they are in Silicon Valley.
As a result, people are moving out of the Lone Star State, or at the very least are considering it. Using U.S. Postal Service data, Insider found that from January to May this year, Austin saw the fifth-largest net outward migration among major U.S. cities, trailing New York, Los Angeles, and Houston, which actually ranked No. 1 among cities that saw the most people leave during that stretch.
The tech workers I know love it and are convincing others to join them. Seems anecdotal at best.
Yours is anecdotal by definition.
That’s the point I’m trying to make
Data from the USPS is like, you know, not anecdotal.
My Postal Service doesn’t ask me if I like to live in my state or if I regret it.
No one said they did. I’m afraid I honestly don’t understand the point you are trying to make.
Gives anecdotal comment in a discussion about USPS statistical data calling it anecdotal.
Classic.
I say that my friend is anecdotal but this also seems anecdotal.
