Comment on Texas Attracted California Techies. Now It’s Losing Thousands of Them.
bitwolf@lemmy.one 6 months agoRight? I always wondered why tech moved to Texas it has all the things data centers would hate:
- unstable electricity
- high heat
- high property taxes
If anything, I’d think they’d move to the great lakes.
- Close to the Chicago IXP
- Water for energy
- Cool weather

Keep them out of our post industrial hellhole!
But for real idk if these people can handle snow, so give it a few years before they move here

It didn’t keep them out of Utah or Colorado, so I wouldn’t give it much hope

They in fact cannot. Neither California nor Texas is prepared for freezing in any sense of the word.

LA is bad with snow but its also not a factor for most of em. I fucken hate snow but I know how to deal with it cause im in the foothills of the San Bernardino mountains and it sometimes slushes the fuck up. I hate it. Also NorCal freezes a lot theres areason why the Donner party happened up there.
