I'm sorry (and this doesn't reflect on the quality of life in either area) but anyone with any common sense has got to pick the Northeastern U.S.
The rocky coast of Maine, the beaches of Cape Cod, Nantucket, Long Island, New Jersey, Delaware and Maryland (so what if you can't swim in the summer, they are beautiful in all seasons), The Finger Lakes and Great Lakes of NY, Niagara Falls, Letchworth park in NY, the Thousand islands of NY, the Hudson River Valley, the Green, White, Berkshire, Adirondack, Catskill, and Allegheny Mountains, the Chesapeake Bay, etc.
Nature here has been rich and bountiful in beauty.
Texas: the Gulf Coast, the Hill country, Big Bend area. A shorter list. There are more, but they just don't compare in outstanding scenery.
+the cypress swamps of Caddo Lake, the Palo Duro Canyon, the subtropical palm forests of the Rio Grande Valley, the Piney Woods. That Gulf Coast? Contains a myriad of unique ecosystems, including hypersaline lagoons with extensive sea-grass beds, and also access to the northernmost coral reef in North America's shelf. And higher biodiversity (species richness) than the entire Northeast to top it all off.
The only knowledge most people in the country have about Texas is simply the nature of the state's politics and elected officials. They can't be expected to know much about what the state has to offer.

Port Isabel is really pretty. I'd like to visit it again some day.
Yes, and Texas is the one with the lead (don't care what the poll says).
this is pretty much Texans in a nutshell.
