LOS ANGELES — Toyota announced on Monday that it will move its national headquarters to Plano, Texas, after a half-century in the Los Angeles suburbs.
The company will create a campus north of Dallas that will bring together 4,000 employees from manufacturing, sales and marketing and corporate operations around the country. Also moving will be Toyota Financial, its financing arm.
A company statement said the automaker is trying to create a "One Toyota" vision for the U.S. and Canada.
With its worldwide headquarters in Japan, Toyota's U.S. operation has headquartered in Southern California for more than 50 years. Most employees affected by the move, which begins in 2016, work on a sprawling campus in Torrance.
Toyota moving U.S. headquarters to Texas
Toyota is one of the higher profile companies to do this. There are many others. Some come to Texas, others to other states.
We'd prefer it if the Californians who move to Texas to keep their jobs don't bring the ideology that ruined California with them.
Texans do for themselves, they don't look to the government for everything. We like it that way.

Since 2012, 60 companies in California have said they have had enough of liberal Democrat's policies of taxing those who break a sweat to financially support state union workers and illegal aliens and have got the hell out of the socialist nanny state of California and relocated to Texas where you still have personal freedoms.
It was predicted when those who don't pay their fair share in taxes in California who voted for the liberal ballot initiative to tax those who already pay more into California's tax coffers than the vast majority combined and forcing them to pay more, eventually they are going to surrender to the liberals and pack their bags and leave California taking the companies they run with them.
I don't think theres enough taco trucks in California to keep the tax coffers full.

>""I don't think it is a big secret that outside of the IT and entertainment industry, that California is too much of an overregulated, high-cost place of doing business," said Sean McAlinden, chief economist for the Center for Automotive Research in Ann Arbor, Mich."<
More than 60. Those are just big enough for people to notice. Though I did read when complete that Texas will have more of the Fortune 500 HQs than California.....it's funny watching the leftist here squirm about over their reality.

Good for Toyota. California will not change until the state is on it's knees.

Texas receives about 58 billion dollars more in federal spending than it pays in federal taxes, do for yourself and give it back please.
That could be that Texas provides more bodies who serve in the military than any other state.
Texas also has a large illegal alien population and legal immigrant population who already have the federal government monkey on their backs and are dependent on the federal taxpayers.
Everybody's leaving California.
That's why houses in San Francisco are so cheap now.
Here's a condo you can pick up for a song
Well its not like if you're a Texan who joins the active duty military it means you'll serve in Texas, I think what you meant to say was that Texas has some Congressmen who are good at getting military bases, which come with lots of Federal dollars, built in Texas.
And you just made a very gross and unfounded generalization there.
Did you post the right thing? This is a 2.25 million dollar apartment
It's the type apartment that mostly only liberals can afford.
Is that because liberals are more successful than conservatives in your opinion?
The successful conservatives buy homes, they don't rent apartments.
Unlike those who rent, home owners take pride in their homes and their neighborhoods. There's a lot of responsibility when you own your own home. It's not cheap.
Some days I feel like saying **** it and think about becoming a renter where the landlord who lives off of other peoples sweat will take care of the upkeep of the property.
Hell I might apply. I hear the DFW metroplex is one giant slum though.
Making up another few generalizations just justify the first one
