A friend(neighbor) lived in Austin, alot of bad trends happening right now. You mentioned power and that made the national headlines, but they also said weather(extremely hot) was why they moved, I think it was like 40 straight days where it hit triple digits(summer 2023). Top that off with housing that is really expensive and homeless issues that are very bad and I could see why a company could relocate elsewhere.


There is also the constant political turmoil. Leaving San Francisco and California for Austin and Texas is trading a frying pan for a fire.
