Now you're using twitter to stalk some kid in TX? Glad none of my kids or grandkids are on it. Toyota is moving its US HQ to TX from CA. They're not the only ones: ..... *Occidental Petroleum Corp.* said in February that it was relocating from Los Angeles to Houston, making it one of around 60 companies that have moved to Texas since July 2012, according to Texas Gov. Rick Perry. Perry last month visited California to recruit companies. The group Americans for Economic Freedom also recently launched a $300,000 advertising campaign in which Perry contends 50 California companies have plans to expand or relocate in Texas because it offers a better business climate. Like these other companies, Toyota could also save money in an environment of lower business taxes, real estate prices and cost of living. Those moves follow Caterpillar and Facebook moving to Texas, and Apple opening a huge new hub outside Austin in the past few years. Democrats rule California and New York, and they have sent business a message: Satisfy every possible notion that the leftwing mob dreams up, or we will hurt you. Count Toyota among the companies that have gotten the message. http://pjmedia.com/tatler/2014/04/28/texas-poaches-toyota-hq-from-california/?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter And btw you're wrong about this: Exxon decided to move its Virginian opps over to Irving as well? Their corporate HQ has been in Irving for a very long time. They are moving their Virginian offices (Mobil's HQ was there) to TX, but not to Irving - to a big new complex between Spring and the Woodlands.
