This article also misses the fact that the general cost-of-living is less in Texas than it is elsewhere. Of course, certain items like cars won’t be much less expensive, but when you combine lower prices for land, and no state income tax, the overhead burden for many businesses is much lower than in states that don’t have these factors.
“This article also misses the fact that the general cost-of-living is less in Texas than it is elsewhere.”
Absolutely - just registering cars in Texas is very cheap, and insurance is likely on the low side also. Also, electricity and gas are VERY CHEAP, at least compared to the Northeast.
That’s why I think articles like this are intentionally slanted against red states.
