| #6 Toyota North American HQ just moved there from California. A lot of others as well. No personal income tax, great business climate, low cost of living. DFW drawing a lot of big companies, Austin drawing the dot-commers out of the SF area. Started a couple years ago, accelerating now.

| #4 An awful lot of companies are moving to Dallas, including trailing daughter #2’s employer. They bought a house sooner than they would have otherwise because house prices are rising monthly, and if they’d waited their anticipated salary growth would not have kept up. |
