I think the other issue is that while Austin is awesome, Texas is....not. With all of the controlling social politics that conservatives are pushing, most tech-based people want to get out while they can. They have money, it's easy for them to up and move, and they can get a job anywhere. Why the hell would they want to stay in Texas?

Maybe, there are lots of awesome places and people like different things. But I've travelled a ton and stayed long term in a whole lot of places and Texas is in many ways one of the better places to be in the US, which appears to be generally borne out by the continuing net inflows to the population.
