Hi Freeps!
I need your help! Over ten years ago, I asked for some good locations in Washington State to live and you all came through and helped my family find a good place to live!
Now I'm here asking you all again. My husband and I are needing to either move to South Carolina or Texas. We just need to find a good location, not too close to any city, more rural area with good schools and hopefully more conservatives.
In Texas, we would like to live near either Dallas -Fort Worth, Amarillo, Lubbock or Midland. We just want to stay away from Austin or Huston.
In South Carolina, we really have no idea. Probably more inland away from the tourist areas.
Any help would be great, like areas to stay away from, etc.
Thank you so much!
No State income tax in Texas. That should count for something. If I ever move again, the will definitely be a major consideration.
I’d go for Dallas. It would be for the hub factor. Amarillo, Midland, Lubbock is out in the boonies, comparatively speaking.
Texas ...SC is dangerously close to NY/NJ.
SC is elitist in a lot of parts and turning blue.
You’re better off in TX.
Colonel Travis was a SC gift to texas. It kinda tells you something.
Do you care about weather? Your options have big differences regarding weather. I recommend checking out citydata.com’s forums comparing cities.
Right? I would hazard a guess that the poster has never been to Amarillo, Lubbock or Midland. If so, then they would know. Don’t move there.
In threads like this, I always repeat my advice. Kerrville Texas. In the heart of the beautiful Texas Hill Country. Great schools and great hospitals and an hour away from San Antonio or Austin.
Houses in S.C. Come with their own pond in the back and stocked with an alligator!
Upstate South Carolina. Mountains, lakes, low taxes, great climate and good people.
While I can’t speak for the Republicans in SC, here in Texas they are at least as corrupt and corporate-owned as the Republicans in DC.
As they’re rounded up and sent to the camps (in a few years, once the Dems have complete power), they’ll then figure out that maybe all those NUTCASES (their voting base) had a point and they should have acted to protect Texans (and themselves), when they still had at least a little bit of power.
By the way, by then I’ll be long-gone from this country. It was a good run, but we got outsmarted by the Dems, who used our love for money to create today’s GOP, and then smashed it like a bug.
Funny, my 1st thought was to stay away from Dallas, unless you’re okay with taking a gun with you when you visit.
I always suggest Waco, Dalhart, or Dumas.
Wherever you decide, I would suggest if possible, to be about half our or so drive from ocean if you love fresh seafood, and ocean life In General. You get best of both worlds, inland peace and quiet, and ocean activities not too far away. Course you will have to weigh the hurricane issues though. We really miss the ocean.
I once looked in western SC near Seneca and Clemson. Pretty much rural with limited amenities/shopping.
Nearest shopping was Anderson which seemed more of a summer vacation town.
On a more useful turn. What kind of weather/terrain do you like? Big City? Small Town? Real Rural? Close to an Interstate but backwoods? Near a lake or Ocean?
South Carolina is quite beautiful in parts. Then there is Greenville/Columbia/Charleston/Charlotte South.
Dallas has gone blue. We had issues due to the COVID restrictions. I would not recommend living or working in the city any longer.
If I were moving to TX (I’ve lived there before) and off the top of my head I’d say the Hill Country ( New Braunfels) or if you insist on suffering in/near a big city then San Antonio. SA has been democrat shithole lately but there are a ton of more or less conservative retired military.
Yes - up near the Clemson campus. Beautiful
Texas ...SC is dangerously close to NY/NJ.

Hilarious, but such good advice! On the other hand you can go to areas in both those highly discredited States and feel like you’re in the hinterlands of West Virginia or Tennessee!
