My daughter visited friends in Round Rock (just north of Austin) and loved it. She’s pretty conservative, and said it’s a nice community.

I've been there too, back in 1989 when my aunt lived there. My cousins graduated from there. Nice little town and one of the cats I've had was born there, Muffin, my Burmese cat which we inherited after my aunt passed away. My mother liked it too.

For years I had bad asthma and terrible allergies —not that fashionable “I want to be a victim, too..!” type asthma, either. As a boy I nearly died twice, had to live in certain climates, had to be on a swim team (lung conditioning), etc. etc. etc. Puffers were my constant companion....

Well I’ll tell you something I did decades later that decreased both my asthma and my allergies 90%:

I regularly took a little natural antifungal, and it was simple:

Get 5 or so big mexican papayas (can use smaller Hawaiian ones, but you’d need more), core out the slimy seeds and discard (or eat?) the flesh.

Put all those seeds in a blender, blend on high with minimal water for 1 min. Now put a liter or two of vodka in there, blend another 3 or so minutes.

Every night before bed take about a 1/2 shot of that.

It tastes like papaya, right? Nope —it tastes bitter, acrid, sort of peppery. Most folks can barely stand the taste.

What this stuff does is poison and kill lots of the parasites and fungus in your gut.

Weird, huh..?

Just keep it up for half a year, or so.

Simple and WORKS.

When you have these critters living off you, they throw off metabolites (poo, more or less) inside of you, and your immune system is getting pretty overtaxed dealing with those needless passengers.

Throw them overboard —you need no perscription or doctor for this.

Papayas evolved in jungles, etc, which are teeming with humidity and fungus. For the seeds to survive on jungle floor they have evolved natural antifungals.

Exploit that.

If you have a reaction at first, back off and take less, maybe way less. But keep it up consistently over a long period and you’re going to be a much, much more healthy person.

I now run three miles every morning and I haven’t had a SINGLE attack.

Look at Belton TX. Close to Ft. Hood. and Round Rock. Good sized town and pretty hard core conservative. Lots of rolling hills, lots of water and lots of BASS!!

I moved to San Antonio from New Jersey. Never had allergies. Have them now.

San Antonio is a cheaper place to live wth a more religious core. Little traffic, good food and things to do at night. You are an hour away from Austin. Depending on what ou do for a living also plays into it.

Look into Rockwall, a small city 25 miles east of Dallas on I-30. They have their own Costco; what else do you need. Lots of water for activities and fishing if you are into those things. Great weather with not much humidity and just far away from the tornado areas to be good. Probably one of the easiest commutes into downtown Dallas area.

Sorry, but you won’t find allergy/asthma relief in SA or Austin. I remember all the cedar pollen in that area when I was there ... my black truck would be yellow by the end of each day. You can even see the pods in the trees exploding this little yellow clouds into the air.

Conservative Collin County is nice even though very suburban and kinda flat.

I’m visiting with the son and his family in Killeen, just north of Austin, right now. I had a heck of an allergy attack last night. The son told me just a while ago that the cedar pollen count is maxed out right now.

Bandera is a nice little town, but also very touristy, with a lot of traffic going through on two-lane roads. Fredricksburg the same, only lots worse. In that area, Kerrville is the best bet.

Austin is like Boulder, but bigger, a liberal oasis surrounded by red country. It is also wetter than farther north, so allergies would be worse.
San Antonio is more conservative, in part due to the military base. Allergies not quite as bad.
Fort Worth is even better, on the dry side of the dry line that seems to follow I-35, where the rain from the Gulf peters out. Even Dallas on the wetter side of I-35 has more water in its lakes.

Side note on “diversity” - you’re moving to a state which is around half hispanic, a fraction black and partially white. Anywhere in the state will be diverse for you, though you could land in a mostly Hispanic area where no one speaks English.

If you want really “diverse”, try Arlington, Texas, in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. On the dry side, so fewer allergies. Hosting UT Arlington, if has a large Arab community, Asian community from Vietnamese to other groups settled as refugees, whites, hispanics, blacks. Central to Dallas and Fort Worth, you can work for anyone from defense contractors to AT&T to the DFW Airport to a number of large firms.
And you’re close to the Dallas Cowboys and Texas Rangers. Yes, the Dallas Cowboys are not in Dallas anymore.

They haven't been since 1970.
