Toyota executives and employees have spent the week in North Texas, getting the lay of the land in advance of the company’s North American headquarters relocation to Plano, sources have told the Dallas Business Journal.

Toyota is giving its employees the Lone Star treatment, touring schools and looking at residential real estate in Dallas-Fort Worth. Toyota is hoping to bring those employees to Texas when it relocates its North American headquarters to a new corporate campus in Plano in late 2016 or early 2017.

Its $350 million home will anchor the 100-acre Legacy West mixed-use development.

Toyota, which has been in California since 1957, plans to relocate employees from California, Kentucky and New York. The majority won't move until construction on Toyota's new headquarters is completed. The relocation is projected to pump $7.2 billion into the North Texas economy
I guess the loss of 5000 Good jobs won't really hit CA until 2016-2017-it takes a long time to build all the facilities etc., I can only see more good things happening in Texas. I wonder why Toyota would up and leave paradise like that? As the relocation project will pump over $7,000,000,000 into North Texas just for starters, I'd say they're doing something right in TX.

Too bad for Texas with all those Kali people moving in. I am moving there myself next year and dont like the fact that this element is moving there.

The bright part is, unlike the FSA tools moving to CO, at least they have jobs. Plus, TX is pretty great, even have had great experiences in DFW except for the crazy driving. I dont drive NASCAR pace anymore so at 10 over I was getting passed by everyone.

Some of those Californians will get a rude awakening relocating to Texas or Kentucky.

No everybody that lives in California drink the liberal anti gun, anti business, higher taxes, give us all your illegals cool-aide. The politicians, mainly from the greater LA and San Francisco, Sacto area dictate policy for the state.

Please don't generalize the population of this once great state, some of us are still fighting for our rights that are eroding daily.


Btw, I'd love to move back to the gulf coast of Texas, but I've got too many grand kids here. ;-)

^^^^^ goes the same for new york. New york state is an awsome place to live work and play. Rivers, lakes, mountains. New York City controlls the state polocies and its all big liberal nyc bullshit. Us upstaters are hunters, fisherman and good ole folks. That shithole filthy city ruins the state. Taxed to the max bc of it

I saw an interview with our esteemed governor moonbeam and according to him it's no big deal that Toyota is leaving.

BTW most people moving from CA to TX are doing so because they fucking hate liberals. I'll be going to AZ in about a year.

I sorry, but based on what is/has/will be going on in CA, I think to "Generalize the population" is spot on. I don't believe "Everyone in CA...", however; to "Generalize" would be based on things such as, how the majority vote etc.. I'm sure some of you are "still fighting for our rights", but, most gun owners in CA either do not vote, or do not vote for pro-gun candidates. I base this in the number of gun owners in CA, 11 million vs the TOTAL number of votes In the last election.

Cali's problem is LA and SF. But especially LA. Those places have tons of people so they get a ton of representatives at the state level yet they have low voter turnout. Something like 10-12%. So a small number of actual voters have a huge say in what happens.

All you guys acting all smug in Texas, Florida, wait awhile. Cities will get bigger, more people will want free shit from the government and pretty soon you'll have to deal with the same sort of shit there. I don't have the answer other than finding new places to run to in order to get away from the fuckers.

My house value has already done pretty well. Now it's going to do very well.... Time to sell I think

California, the US's next "Detroit."

There is one thing that a quasi-socialistic economy needs more than anything else to keep going - money...and if money keeps leaving the state due to onerous regulations the progressives will run out of other peoples money to spend on their social programs. California is in a downward spiral of more taxes chasing a reducing population base. That has nowhere to go but to more annual budget deficits and the need to introduce higher taxes on its remaining population. But, not once does the progressive government ever look at their onerous regulations and think that could be the problem. It is truly baffling how one gets a progressive mind-set and keep it through life. A lot of younger people have that mindset upon leaving college, due to the indoctrination, but it fades over time when you actually have to get a job and pay taxes for the dead beats of our society.

Except knowing that in advance the political game can be rigged to make sure the big cities never monopolize power.
