I am originally from the part of West Texas, and hardwood was the norm. One reason was that the sand blows so much that carpet would be very hard to take care of.

The problem with carpet anywhere has always been that it is impossible to keep clean. I remember the shag carpet my mother had installed in our house over hardwood in the 70's. Christmas tree needles never came out of it! I have hardwood or tile in every room of my house now and wouldn't change it for anything.
