Texas doesn't have a full time legislature so unlike California the amount of damage they can do is limited.
Even better than a part time legislature, in fact. Texas only meets for a few months every other year.
I think this is over played because the articles get views. First the Bay was in trouble because everyone is going to work from Tahoe and Iowa. Then tech companies continued to lease new office space so we've got to have a different doomsday. Are the headquarters staff for these three companies vital to the Bay area economy?

I wonder if the people fleeing California will end up voting for the same bad policies that are the reason they had to leave in the first place.

There are many negative things about living in California, but I’ve never heard anyone say that an unstable ecology is one of them.
HP is not SV. Oracle isnt SV. They arent major players. Maybe there is a larger trend that may come to fruition, but I dont think that will happen. Also, Austin Tx is over crowded already. There is a housing shortage there, we are doomed to see another SF real estate shortage if this becomes true.

And unfortunately we have our share of deadly wildfires as well (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bastrop_County_Complex_Fire), although thankfully not to the same degree that California does.
