I think if push came to shove in the worst case scenario, Texas is probably your best bet. With the exception of the Pacific NW, I’ve been to all states in the CONUS. It’d be my choice, if pushed.
I have been to just about every state in the USA in my business travels. Houston is a good area... the only thing that concerns me is being so close to the border? The docs are good, oil, manufacturing, jobs, no income tax, etc. My main concern... the border... any insight on this? Could it in 10 tears have so many illegals that it now is a liberal mecca?
Have you been to all 57 states?
