I know you're referring to the economic and business environment in a conservative region like Texas, not the weather. ;)

I love the Texas weather. I grew up in Michigan where it was “9 month of winter and 3 months of poor sledding...”

Houston has pretty good weather overall, except for the occasional hurricane. I live in the Panhandle of Florida, just up the beach..............Just ask Allegra!.............

I grew up in Michigan and moved to Houston in 1979. I'll second what CMAC51 said. Skipping the Michigan winters more than makes up for the Houston summers. Weather is pretty nice from October through April - and sometime into May.

Moving into a conservative region after growing up in Michigan was like finding a home after being a stranger in my home town all of my life. But the primary reason I came here was that I could not take the Michigan winters.
