Always remember that the number one issue/fear of the liberals is population. The number one display of wealth is exclusivity. If they can crowd all the serfs into high rise apartments, then they can control 99% of the land in the US.
I will say that living in the Bay Area is great for recreation. I wish it wasn’t so liberal. I can handle some of the expense, but the liberal agenda is awful: plastc bag bans, fireplace bans, etc.
I can’t handle the liberal lifestyle. I want to move back to Texas. My husband and 1 of my daughters don’t want to move. My son is in college in Texas. He won’t comeback to Cali.
A disproportionate amount of the crime seems to occur in densely packed urban areas. No place is crime-free, but I try to stay out of areas that are full of multi-story apartment buildings.

Just like Soviet Union, comrade! The proletariat would be crowded into apartment blocks where everyone is the same, while the nomenklatura have their dachas.
People in Houston will tell you, there is nothing holding you there, you can leave at will. If you’re living in Harris County, you are a dumbass
There is implicit in your thinking that there will not be serious disruption and burning and rioting in the northern cities in the next 7 years
Not really. I dream of a nice lake somewhere with a mountain range that I can hike on.. My idea of heaven.
Apparently I’m a dumbass. But to be fair, I’m on the border with Montgomery county and planning a move to Galveston County. The Clear Lake area is nice.
Oh, the horrors of suburban SPRAWL! It won’t happen in WA State, though. The Lefties, here, got a jump start on the Agenda 21 all the way back in 1993 with the Growth Management Act. The lengths that they are willing to go to insure their agenda is followed are downright Machiavellian.
Storm water is the newest control method, managed by unelected storm water boards that are appointed for life and cannot be removed by either elected officials or the tax payers. In my area of Whatcom County, the zealotry of the left has come back to bite them, though.
When the storm water district was created in 2007, it included all of the Cherry Point Industrial zone, which included two refineries, Intalco Aluminum plant and the land where they want to build the coal terminal. I uncovered a state dept of ecology document that identified BP and Intalco as being the two largest property owners, having the greatest impact on the Lake Terrell watershed, so I proceeded to ask the CH2MHill contractor, who had been hired to set up the district, how they could eliminate BP from the fee schedule if they were one of the biggest property owners in the area. The CH2MHILL guy said that they could not exempt BP or any of the commercial properties, that it would be illegal, but they did it anyway. Instead of paying the fee for the storm water on their property, BP offered to fund the secretive stormwater advisory and placed an employee on the board. They then set it up so that the county would have no say in the storm water regulation of the proposed coal terminal at Cherry Point, or the fugitive coal dust that will pollute the lake from the open coal piles. They even appointed a multi-modal transportation specialist (trains to ships) to manage the storm water district, instead of a storm water specialist. Since BP has a vested interest in the coal terminal, everything that they did was illegal.
By the way, the WA State Republican party is auctioning off an AR15 at their auction and dinner. They still have some tickets available if anyone is interested.
http://www.elpasoredco.org/regional-data/el-paso/overview/population
Between 2000 and 2040, the population of El Paso County is projected to grow by 69.7 percent. This projected growth exceeds the nation’s rate of growth and is parallel with that of Texas. Based on U.S. Census Bureau population estimates and projections, El Paso is ranked the 18th city with the largest population increase from July 2007 to July 2008. These projections do not take into account the significant growth taking place at Fort Bliss.
The Bay Area is gorgeous. I wish I’d known it before the left took it over completely. It’s a damn shame, what has been ceded to the left over the past fifty years, not that I have a clue how to undo it short of a collapse in government assistance. You just can’t beat Santa Claus when dealing with people who are not just opposed to traditional morality but devoid of any understanding as to just what they have lost, and stand to lose in the future.
Don’t get too excited. How many of those moving to the “Sun Belt” will bring their politics with them? I.e., will the dozen new TX Congressional Districts be liberal Dem? I won’t be around to find out. Good luck to those who will be here.
Not if you spend time in local Houston restaurants and take a look at the waitresses. Nothing ugly about them at all. And they are from all over the world.
WA State has a Republican Party?
What I like about the area, though, is the subtropical foliage and mild winters. There's southern charm in the architecture - I love Bay Area Park. The people are very friendly and for the most part conservative and traditional, and they do not like illegal invaders. So Houston has its plusses.
Well, not so that you would notice, but yes, we do have a Republican party. Unfortunately, they lack any real core ideology.
