Longtime Austin resident, frequent Bay Area visitor here..
Yes, the problem we run into with people from California is that they move here and immediately start trying to create similar policies they left.
It was the local left (backed my Mayor Adler, local Hillary organizer) that banned Uber & Lyft, have raised property taxes to the legal maximum every year, pushed for a state income tax, and many other things.
My property taxes are 1/2 of my mortgage payment now and only going higher. While I can adjust and make due, it's pushing out more and more of the people who make Austin great.
