Will the Texas winter disaster deter further tech migration? – TechCrunch

preview

. is not earning that R— Elon Musk (@elonmusk)If I've learned one thing in my years and different places, it's that three types of people:1. Those who live there and don't like change2. Those who love there and support what it might be3. Those who just are thereAnd now some don't want to move to Texas because weather?— Paul O'Brien (@seobrien)There's lots of shit on Twitter, and most of it is just that: shit.Anecdotes from Twitter profiles of dubious authenticity are worth about as much as an endorsement today from the junior U.S. senator from Texas.Trust stat-sig data.Like it or not, Austin, TX is a boom town.— Dan Driscoll (@dbdriscoll)This was a once every 100 years event. I grew up here and hae never seen anything like it.Anybody who refuses to move somewhere because of a single event probably wouldn't stick around anyways.— Ⓐ®️Ⓛ⓪ (@arlogilbert)What I saw here in Austin was community coming togetherNeighbors helping each other. Taking in friends and strangers. Local restaurants stepping up, even after a year of a pandemic crisis.I’ve lived here my entire life, it’s the community that makes it great, always will— Mark Magnuson (@MarkMagnuson)I live here and am 100% considering leaving— shelby (@shelbymichellle)I hope businesses put pressure on politicians to ensure that the infrastructure of TX is sound. The lost productivity over the last several days and potentially into the future is huge, not to mention the lost of life and trauma. (Oh & our offices flooded due to a main break.)— Kate Moon🇺🇸 (@Katemooooon)I was wondering how existing infrastructure & water resources would be able to sustain more people in the best of times. Now we're seeing how fragile the system is after years of underinvestment, new residents are right to question the sustainability, but new voices will help.— Ruth Glendinning (@GuRuth)Startups & Tech don’t want to have to build out their own utilities in addition to the rest of their infrastructure. Until Texas solves this energy incompetence they will take a pass.— Clayton Slaughter (@schmubba)I’m not a founder, but I chose to move from SF to Portland, OR rather than Austin precisely BECAUSE Austin (the great city that it is) is located in the state of Texas. 🤷🏽‍♀️— Debra J. Farber (@privacyguru)I grew up in Texas (Houston) and I’d never move back.Too hot, too many disasters, too much driving everywhere. I can make my own damn brisket.— Andrew Kemendo (@AndrewKemendo)I’m kind of out of that now but the failure to weathering, which is pretty cheap, doesn’t say either of “vision “ or “disciplined management.” Partners need at least one of those traits usually— tim mullaney (@timmullaney)Good luck getting me to move to any startup city in a state run by people who deny climate change and see oversight of vital infrastructure as a burden.— Charlie O'Donnell (@ceonyc)Seems silly. The Midwest has cold and tornados. The south east is hot-humid and has hurricanes. California has earthquakes and is always on fire.— Joseph Bella (@jbella)I’m from outside Texas but we experienced rolling outages due to power share agreements (and I used to live in ATX)— it’s really just such a rare event that it makes sense to me that the state wouldn’t be prepared for it.— ✌️ Craig Inzana (@craiginzana)It was all a ploy to stop everyone from California moving here. Trying to a no-income tax state.— Lance Roberts (@LanceRoberts)A lot of folks in Austin hope this will stop the flood of California people.— dcornish (@dcornish)
