I am also a transplant from Kentucky and my wife is a DPT.  

Agree with @Chris LopezWJS article this past week talked about WallStreet firms moving away from the East and West coast to places like Denver - and bringing many employees and jobs with them.The quote the stuck with me was from a San Francisco 'transplant' that said something like "People in Denver complain about prices, but compared to San Fransisco - Denver is a bargain."

So excited to finally have gotten around to making a post here.My background: 29-year-old former Economics major, turned self-taught programmer and San Francisco transplant.

I am actually a transplant from Los Angeles and moved here with my wife in 1997. 

I'm a Californian transplanted to Mississippi, btw.

I'm a Transplant ICU Nurse by trade, in a hospital downtown.

Do you get a lot of northern transplants such as myself?

It just seems completely artificial to me, fueled by out-of-state transplants going to work in Plano, and low rates.All that said, I am still very new at this and I am probably missing various opportunities in DFW.

I am a transplant from the Bay Area as well and have been living in Austin a year now.

Locals are frustrated with the growing pains, the transplants don't seem to be slowing down.
