I moved to TX last year and from what I can detect Austin is very liberal while So TX is heavily Dem as is the Big Bend area (artsy phartzy)but oddly enough Harris County (Houston) split evenly between Romney and Obama.

Austin and inside the loop on Dallas, Fort Worth, San Antonio, and Houston. Throw in the counties along the Rio Grande for obvious reasons.

I don't know much about Michigan, never been there. All I can go on is like in my own City.

When the low life totally destroyed the inner city, it took a long time, BUT, it finally revived, investors bought on the cheap and turned it around. Great medical centers, hospitals, then luxury Apts., and Condos, Riverwalks, etc. VERY VERY nice.

I am sure some investors are already viewing Detroit for the same. There are Casinos there, right? So that is a draw.

Low life moving out the the suburbs, we're moving back to the city. rofl. As soon as they destroy the suburbs, we'll buy it back on the cheap, maybe one day they will understand the concept of TAKING CARE OF YOUR PROPERTY. That's life. rofl

” Just have to wait to see what will happen to all the welfare crowd, maybe they can be driven out.”

Do a 180 in your thinking. Offer them candy ($); they’ll be happy to leave.

There is a lot of wealth in the suburbs surrounding Detroit. My brother in law makes 6 figures working right downtown in Detroit. Apparently a lot of the bigwigs at the company he works for are happy that a new patent office just opened and believe it will attract work for them and ease the patent process for everyone.

“I used to talk to an Austin girl online (an artist). She claimed she was a conservative but When I told her I lived not far from Ann Arbor she said she had always wanted to go there.”

Nice job outing her. I guess the “artist” part must have gotten your antenna activated.

“The guy goes from friends to friends homes looking for places to stay.”

Yes, but look at it this way: one guy puts that in his online dating profile, and another guy says he is an “artist who embraces the bohemian lifestyle”. Who do you think gets more interest from the ladies?

She called herself “spiritual” but then she told me that she goes to a Unitarian church.

She got irritated when I called it the church of the whatever. Course, I’m Methodist so I can’t really criticize.

Who cares, these states have lived beyond their means for years, now the chicken’s come home to roost. So what let them go under, and the people dumb enough to buy their bonds. Good Riddance

well then the next problem is where do we divert them too. Buy them a one way bus ticket to beautiful beverly hills, Calif.

Damn. My wife and I are looking for places to retire to... and this looks absolutely gorgeous. And after living in the Alaska Interior for most of my adult life, anyplace will seem warm in the winter. However, those photos are fabulous. We were seriously looking at the Upper Peninsula as a nice place in which to settle down... how’s it for retirees?

The best thing about Austin is that it’s only 10 min from Texas.

Now that is good. Damn good ;-)

Sad. Connecticut Ranks Last Among 50 States In Credit Analysis

Connecticut used to have the highest per capita income of all the states. The Leftists have spent us into near oblivion.

You can’t really blame Austin. It’s Balcones Fault.
