NY -> Miami California -> Austin I think you could probably chalk a lot of this up to where company leadership has their vacation homes.
Lol, like people have "vacation homes" in Austin.
How long before all the Californians make Austin the exact same place they fled from?

You are being downvoted for a seemingly flippant remark, but someone should really check whether senior execs conveniently are already well positioned to move there.
They are being downvoted because people who live in Austin think it's laughable that execs are moving to Austin because it's some cushy vacation spot. Execs are moving to Austin from CA for the exact same reason a huge chunk of the rest of the techies are moving to Austin: 1. No state income tax. 2. Comparatively cheaper home prices, though with news link this perhaps not for long, centrally located Austin single fam…

or to put it like one of the folks here: "you peed in your pool and moved to ours, don't do that again"
I live in Austin, Oracle has a huge campus here that looks as big as an airport building with terminals/gates and all the trimmings. It's a beautiful building that gentrified the whole area, for better or worse. I ate there a couple of times, it's nice inside too! I love biking/walking around the Oracle campus area because they made a bike path and the area is safer than it was before. That being said, I know a coupl…
No, that is specific to Oracle. Here's some references [1]. The other day on HN I read a quote: "What is the difference between Larry Ellison and God? God doesn't think he's Larry Ellison". Can't find it though.

Is public transit good in Austin?
Relevant text: Oracle is implementing a more flexible employee work location policy and has changed its Corporate Headquarters from Redwood City, California to Austin, Texas. We believe these moves best position Oracle for growth and provide our personnel with more flexibility about where and how they work. Depending on their role, this means that many of our employees can choose their office location as well as cont…
