HPE’s headquarters are currently located in California, where the company’s roots go back to the founding of Silicon Valley decades ago. But the company is now building a 440,000 square-foot campus in two five-story buildings in the Houston suburb of Spring.
HPE already has a foothold in Texas, with locations in Austin and Plano with around 2,600 employees combined. Still, this announcement will add to the company’s presence and add jobs to the state of Texas.
“Once again, this shows that public policy matters and that states that take the approach of high taxes and cronyism and big government, like California, are seeing the outmigration effect and seeing the consequences for those decisions,” says economist Jonathan Williams with American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC). “And the states that are embracing economic freedom, states like Texas, without income taxes on personal income, continue to be the haven for jobs and economic growth.”
He thinks “dozens and dozens” more companies will leave California and go to places with better business climates and better economic opportunity “not just for a business bottom line, but for their employees, [and] for their own economic upward mobility.”
Hewlett Packard Enterprise was created in 2015 when the computer hardware pioneer Hewlett-Packard Inc. broke into two parts after years of struggling to keep up with industry trends, such as consumers’ shift away from personal computers.

Bring on your factories and jobs,,,keep your politics in California or we will tax you back out of the state, then you will have nowhere left to go.
Exactly. Come all you want, just leave your CRAZY LIBERAL IDEALS back in commiefornia.
Just don’t bring your politics to Texas.
raise taxes to bring them back.. and don’t forget to increase the regulations while your at it… oh.. and keep the illegal aliens that have no working skills coming in droves while letting criminals out of prison so when they repeat offend they’re turned out on the street with no bail. Well done there Commieforian… what a winning policy.
The State of California defines the word “Idiocracy”, a land run by idiots, financed by idiots, taught by idiots. Calling a person a Californian these days is the equivalent of calling them an idiot. You are , or soon become, who you elect, or allow to steal your elections. The sane people left in the state have to fake being an idiot to survive, just like I Claudius had to feign being a harmless idiot to avoid being killed by his nephew Caligula. Claudius lucked out and became emperor himself when THE PEOPLE (Praetorian guard) finally got fed up and took matters into their own hands and took out he who became a threat to taking out them. Stinking Governments like stinking fish rot from the head down. Cut off the head and maybe you can devour what’s left without getting poisoned.
I’ve said it before. THEY LET all the crooks out, to make room, to STICK ALL us who won’t comply with their illegal/unconstitutional dictates, In those jails.
My only hope, as these people abandon these high tax socialist states, is that they DO NOT bring the same stupid ideas and politics with them. I have seen it happen in Colo, left wing loons have ruined the state.
That’s why i don’t WANT commiefornia rejects, coming to ohio. AS IS< two of our cities are already filling with libtards, cause of the colleges.. WE DON'T need more fools to turn this state blue
Austin is already a California Cesspool, this will just pour gasoline on it and throw a match.
Pity there’s no way to totally cut Austin out of texas, and air drop it ONTO commiefornia.!
Californians are rats deserting a ship they helped sink and when they arrive, they immediately start gnawing on the new ship’s timbers in the same way. Name one exiting Californian who says: “I will never vote Democrat again because that’s what turned the Golden State into manure”. Calexit just seeds the cancer as in Colorado.
AND wa, Or and many other states…
People may leave California behind them but if they take their politics with them it just be the same all over again!
From all that we’ve seen over the past few decades, the likelyhood of them LEAVING their liberalism behind, is SLIM and none.
