Advice? Moving From TX To CA

What should I be mentally prepared for? Where in your opinion is the best places to eat? I am open to any other ideas or opinions on what to do or find/avoid there.

Buy a gun there while you can, they're a hassle to get in CA and a lot more pricy. Also brace for some pain in the butt car regulations.

I'm not entirely sure just yet - so I am open to suggestions for that as well LOL I was thinking of Los Angeles maybe.

While in California visit a in and out resteraunt they can only be found here. California isn't all big city's there is alot of agriculture here so you may be seeing some cows and such. If j visit the central vally be ready for water regulations. Also visit yosemity if u get the time its filled with giant trees.

What do you mean by water regulations? And yea man - I love burgers so I'll def check that place out!

There's actually in and out in Texas believe it or not, mostly in Dallas but there's 2 in Austin. As someone who has lived in both states, I'd say be prepared for it to get pretty chilly in winter. Also be prepared to pay a lot in terms of everyday expenses and in taxes. Everything from real estate, gas, and even groceries are more expensive than in Texas, across the board. And they charge income tax which sucks. Pros, the food scene is better and the summers are so nice in comparison. Honestly, I'd move back but I really don't think I'd last in a place where I'd have to make 200% more than I do now to afford the same lifestyle :/

Thanks for the info - I have been in and around S.A. and Corpus - I rarely went to any other cities so I had no idea about in and out being here. Yea summer sucks here. I'm moving with a few roommates to make the cost of living adjustable.
