We are contemplating a move to Texas as well. i grew up in Ventura county, and have lived in San Diego county the past 16 years, but i think this last election sealed the deal. We have 11 acres in East Texas, though as we both work for the federal government, I suspect we’ll probably end up near San Antonio.

Need a 50-something year-old ranch hand? I just need high-speed Internet to keep my night job as a computer consultant (that is why I can move to Dallas with no problem, my job doesn’t care where my home is).
When Californians move to Texas, they make both states more liberal.
The landscape reminds me of Ronald Reagans ranch near Santa Barbara.
