> they don't care if they paid more than the average Texan pays, because at the end of the day they're still paying less than half what they were paying in CA

I don't understand not caring about 6 figures of money. Is that really the outlook of the average California tech worker?

The average California tech worker maybe not, but plenty of them are sitting on $500k+ in cash with yearly incomes in that same range. At that point what does $100k mean? $100k makes no difference in the person’s day to day life. If you like the house and you end up in a bidding war, the $100k is more than worth it.
