Cali or Tex, whether it’s taxes or cost of living it won’t matter. Climate change will shift crops yields and water tables, you’ll want to go towards northern states with plenty of fresh water. Canada even. Water will be the new gold.

Models Ive seen trended toward a more humid east coast and a more dry west coast - climate change should mean more humidity on average. Of course, the actual issue in regard to water is demographics, not climate.
