This one is easy since I'm not really a fan of Texas. Maybe only the secondary city category goes to TX.

OP, will you do a Washington vs. Georgia thread?

Washington is beautiful..... But Texas is just more affordable. That makes a real difference for middle class people who want a good life.

Washington overall, no contest. I'm not sure how anyone can pick TX for "Brighter Future" with climate change looming large. ???

If one is amongst the top 5% of income earners in the country who can afford to live in Washington comfortably and not be relegated to some podunk town, I guess they would see it that way.

Right, but I'm not commenting on that at all. I am saying that unless you just ignore the evidence, and deleterious effects of climate change I do not know how anyone can pick TX with "Brighter future" as a criterion. To be clear, I love all of the US but TX is in a belt that will get hammered by these effects within most of our lifetimes. That saddens me, and makes WA the clear option regardless.
