      End of the article says they already moved HQ to Austin in 2020.  Of course I have no idea what that means.  A corporate HQ for a massive company can be 10 people.

      I wonder how many employees this pulls out of California?

      6500 in Redwood City, about 13.5% of the city’s workforce.  This article goes back a couple of years, but I can’t see where much has changed. https://www.newsnationnow.com/us-news/west/companies-are-rapidly-leaving-california-study-finds-heres-where-they-are-going/

      This is a good source for tracking corporate departures.  https://californiapolicycenter.org/the-california-book-of-exodus/

      CEO of Belong, a residential property management company on why its relocating to Miami -“Belong CEO, Ale Resnik, emphasized the cultural fit between Miami and Belong: “Miami represents a glimpse at a possible future of the USA. One that’s multicultural, more pragmatic, and less ideological. This is an ecosystem where consumer tech can blossom.”

      More pragmatic and less ideological- sadly wonder if the west cost will ever be described this way.  Not in my lifetime, I’m sure.

        I think we can agree that California is sufficiently multicultural, though on the opposite end of the pragmatic/ideological spectrum relative to Florida. I was just reading that Mrs. Mick’s high school, Lynbrook of San Jose (mascot “Vikings”) is now 93% minority. Also in the Top 10 in California, top 100 nationwide. 85% of students take AP classes.

        Three Bay Area high schools make US News’ top 10 in California (msn.com)
