This is inevitable. The Hollywood genre and the tech crowd, after advocating and voting on the idea of what a progressive utopia should look like, realized that they would not be immune to its influence. So, what do they do? They turned to greener pastures and let ordinary people tolerate the consequences.
Be careful, Austin: Hollywood and technology gather on you like locusts.

From Hollywood Report:
Due to the influx of technology companies (Samsung, Oracle) and isolated and exhausted remote work transplants from major cities seeking lifestyle upgrades-including some famous actors, like Padalecki (a Austin resident since 2010), suddenly thought The Texas hills are more attractive than the Hollywood hills.
Elon Musk might call it. The tycoon who is opening 138 football field-sized Tesla Gigafactories on the outskirts of Austin announced in February that the city will “become the largest emerging city in the United States in 50 years.”
Musk may be one of the biggest beneficiaries of California’s progressive generosity, his tax incentives and the favor of the Governor of California’s hairspray, because electric vehicles are the “progressive future.” We see how it turned out. During the blockade, after Musk worked hard to open a factory in Alameda, California, he decided that Austin was the new sacred place to build his kingdom; California was like that yesterday.
Thanks for all the tax relief! Now, on to my next meal ticket.
However, even those accustomed to the growing pains of Austin were shocked by the impact of the pandemic, which caused house prices to soar by 43% in a year-the largest increase of all major metropolitan areas in the country Once. There are many stories about home sellers being bombarded with all-cash offers the moment the property is listed. In the first half of this year, 1,440 homes in the Austin area were sold for more than $100,000 above the asking price (22 in the same period last year). “The market is crazy-the house we bought in the fall is much more expensive than the one we bought,” said Becca Tobin, an actor and transplanter from Los Angeles to Austin (who gave him this week THR Titled “Why did I leave Hollywood for Austin”). “It’s like,’Are we going to turn around and sell this house again?'”
Hollywood celebrities seem to regard this as an art form. Back in the 90s, they did the same thing to certain areas of Idaho and Montana; dug out summer and winter houses for a song and pushed the price so high that Locals who have lived there for generations and do not plan to go anywhere else are now excluded from the market by price. This is basically what Tobin said in the companion column mentioned above:
Los Angeles is a wonderful place. It will still be a holy place for us to make a living, and it will most likely be so for the rest of the time. I will never say never to go back. It is difficult for me to sit still. I am not attached to the house. I am not attached to the city. So if I need to come back, I will not kick and scream.
It must be nice to be the kind of careless person who does the destruction that is left behind him. But cheer for Hollywood!
Obviously, actor Matthew McConaughey has always been a single-person welcome car:
“I’ve been waiting for the secret to leak out,” the Oscar winner dragged his voice. Matthew McConaughey, He has developed into an unofficial Austin brand ambassador (and, many hope that the Texas governor candidate will challenge the current Republican Governor Greg Abbott in 2022). “I’m excited about growth. We won’t go back. We don’t have landmarks like Niagara Falls, Disney World or the Eiffel Tower. They all come for the atmosphere-we have people.”
Together with the people, you also commit crimes.Austin has seen Rising crime Just like all other progressive cities.Like all good liberal bastions, the Austin City Council voted to cancel funding for the police, and now they are suffering as a result of.
I reported a shooting Republic of Texas (ROT) Cycling Rally Come back in June.Although Mayor Steve Adler tried to jump on Gun control train, Governor Greg Abbott has been slapped in the face of a progressive posture Down——Texas after all. But like any plague, if left unchecked, it will eventually erode the greatness of Texas—and Austin is zero-based.
You have been warned.
Austin also has a growing problem of homelessness, even though residents are working hard to resist. Are these Hollywood and tech snowflakes tired of crossing homeless people on Hollywood Boulevard and the Embarcadero?Now they can Downtown Austin.
Austin residents voted by an overwhelming majority to support the re-enactment of Prop B, an anti-camping ban that restricts camping on public and restricted property. But the better angels of the Austin City Council chose not to enforce it.
This is after trying to clean the tent today:
Campers:
– Set up unscrupulously in front of the city hall
– Know it is 100% illegal
– Each offers multiple services but refuses.crazy @Mayor Adler and @GregCasar Caused this, it cannot be repaired now. pic.twitter.com/ZpNk0E63uB

In the Hollywood studio now living in Lone Star State:
[…] The newcomer is Zachary Levi (He plans to build a studio on his property near Bastrop), Scott Eastwood, Adrian Parridge, Adrian Grenier and James Vanderby gram. “In Beverly Hills Park near the house we just moved, you can’t fly a kite,” Piccolo complained on Instagram when he moved his family to Texas in November. “It is also not allowed in any park in Beverly Hills: cycling, climbing trees, learning anything from coaches, using weightlifting… When people ask us why we want to move our children from Los Angeles, these are just some of the reasons. “
Okay, James, try not to mess things up, eh? Don’t bring about voting habits that create a political climate and restrictions that cause you to flee California. Because if you do, you will look for a place to live elsewhere in 10 to 15 years.
If by that time the locusts have not razed most of the country to the ground.
