And, if your dog runs away, you can still see him for 3 days.
You forgot humidity.
You should go back go back to CA.
You forgot scorpions, copperhead, cotton mouth, 3 or 4 different kinds of rattlesnakes, pumas, bobcats, deer in the road, and sasquatch in the Big Thicket.
Why? You should hear some of the native Texans in the area who are annoyed as hell about the water system here. I’m definitely not alone. But if it makes you feel better telling me to go back to California, have at it. But that’s not happening. Our kid is now married (to a native Texan), and they own a house here. We’re going nowhere.
People from Texas are a proud bunch. Belt buckle, boots, hat. Why don’t they live there anymore? Heat and an untrustworthy grid. I’ll pass.
Texas is too hot for me but I am very sure I am the kind of person you would want to move to Texas.
Not one person mentioned tornadoes?!
Also, our speaker of the house is corrupt to the max. It’s been a horrible disappointment.
On the other hand, we have Constitutional carry.
Dallas/Houston suck, but there’s tons of open land.
Don’t forget the brownouts and blackouts
Our formerly red county in IL went blue in the last fifteen years, and my brother lived in Dallas for the last three. He moved back because he missed us - we couldn’t save up enough to move down there. This state is killing us financially, and potentially literally.
For me, it’s Texas or Wyoming. I just want to be away from people and a major city; the caveat being that I need to be within an hour of a hospital thanks to sh¡t health that is no fault of mine.
We’re a conservative family stuck in a Leftist hellhole. We want out.
29% of the growth was from people moving from other states. The other 70% was illegals moving from Mexico.
Except for the brutal heat in summer, Texas is a great. But this heat has been unbearable lately. Frankly, it’s almost too much to bear. Just being honest. You can’t do anything for 3 months. Just stay inside and hope your AC holds up.
....true...!! this is probably the hottest summer here since the miserable summer of 2011......record-setting 107 degrees in Austin yesterday and 109 degrees in the suburbs....But for a state as rich as Texas is, the roads are not all that good. But if you are a gun enthusiast,Texas is great....!! good gun shows and virtually no hassles when you go to buy a gun....!!
Q for Texans because TX doesn’t make it easy to find current info.
Federal aid as a % of general revenues in the Texas budget, what’s it running at in the current budget...?
....Texas summers - brutal....!
....Wyoming winters - brutal....!
Exactly! Our high yesterday was 106! IN SEPTEMBER!
I’m shocked at how low the lake levels are. Lake Belton and Stillhouse are the lowest I’ve ever seen.
“While the overall tax burden in Texas is low, some types of taxes aren’t as appealing. One of these taxes is a new Texas tax on electric vehicles that will increase registration costs for EV owners by nearly as much as 800%.”
The 800% number is meaningless, since the extra cost is $200/year, which is less, in some cases FAR LESS, than normal vehicle registration in other states.
On the other hand, I’m perfectly happy if the idiots who buy EVs stay in California and Berkley...so, no complaint to the editor on this point.
“Some of us had to explain to the southerners what it was.”
That’s hilarious. Were you with a bunch of retarded people? You know, of course, at your level of intelligence, that it snows in the south sometimes, right? Even us idiots in far, far south Alabama get snow sometimes. We don’t look at it and go, “whut the heck is that white stuff falling from the sky”. We pretty much know what it is.
You forgot ‘humidity’...OMG around Houston!
