I hope not.
Houses in my hood here in n Dallas/Plano is selling very well. Two homes sold this week after being up for sale for only a few days.
There was a 3.3 earthquake on Saturday, between Ft. Worth and Dallas, TX......so yes, I guess we are becoming more and more like CA in more ways than one.
Oh crap, here we go again. Texas just ain’t what it used to be.
Now there's a scary thought.
Stay the hell out of Tx
NEW forclosures 2008 vs Mar 2009 342,038
Market sure is Going gang busters!!! LOL
We moved to Texas for a job, but my hometown in Kansas has lower unemployment than here.
Still very good here in West Texas, but it’s all about oil (though not my job, one of the few not working in the industry). Back home, even my small town had a massive base of a variety of industries. Then again, it is one of the few places like that.
oh crap now all the liberals are going to try to turn texas blue...
its getting closer because of immigration....just horrible
We've had the throngs descend before, some of 'em left when the Texas economy, then based much more heavily on Oil, went into the tank. But, for the most part they became Texans. I guess I'm one of those, except that I came because it was the closest place to "home" where I could find a creating stuff to kill the enemies of the US, not because I lost a job "back home". Besides, Nebraska isn't that much different, outside of Omaha (think Houston or Dallas) and Lincoln, (think Austin, only less so)
The Libtards will flee back to the "good weather" when the economy improves there, the new Texans will stay and make Texas stronger.
Texas has taken some hits but the economic indicators for the state seem to be on the positive side as a whole. Major industrial expansions in some of the petro/chem locations have slowed or scaled back but are still ongoing. Texas will do well over the long run and probably not see as deep of an economic downturn as a lot of the county may experience.
Why do folks who come from these places that have gone bad (usually due to politics) want to move somewhere else and vote in the same politics that they fled from?
Beats me!
Was in Austin last Sept (going back for Decoration Day weekend to play some golf) and EVERYTHING was under construction - roads, buildings, houses, condos...with help wanted signs all over the place.
I hope it hasn't changed.
It saddens me to say this, but you folks in TX are going to suddenly find yourselves getting overrun and outvoted by people with political disconnect syndrome.
I’ve had my eye on TX for a while now as a place to eventually escape the NJ Gulag, but this news makes me think that things will go downhill fast after they get better initially. It’ll be a shame; it’s a beautiful state with a lot of character.
Don’t take anything for granted. The statist cancer is sneaky, persistent disease. It’ll take over your schools and your government if you aren’t paying attention.
Looks like I need to look for a different state to escape to.
I hear there’s a little internet out there in Californy.
Looking at military senior retirement communities in San Antonio. Any advise, or should I stay in Maine?
To all: There are no jobs here, really. We are all standing in soup lines and begging for whatever we can get. Possums and armadillos are becoming quite scarce, but at least it’s meat. Don’t come here, there is nothing for you but misery on a scale you cannot imagine. You’ve been warned.
Texas is where it's at! Lots of jobs!
Get in on the bottom floor while you can. Go!
