Of course, it’s not nearly as robust as Texas in its…cowpulation.
California is also going through its worst drought in over 100 years. Those must be some sickly looking cows. Ann Curry did an hour long special on it the other right.
Its so bad people are salvaging what little rain water they get & not using their appliances. Everything is hand washed.
Food prices out there are skyrocketing.
California's pollution is traveling 1,000's of miles & turning pristine glaciers black.
Thanks, but no thanks, you can have every bit of that.
Yeah, well, Texas and Cali are not alike at all. I have been to both. You can live pretty decently in Texas with a middle class wage. After you get past Palm Springs, California is super nice in terms of the variety of terrain and nature colors. Texas is mostly flat and monotone for long miles. Seeing ALL of Texas takes a long time. Amarillo is totally different from El Paso, and those are totally different from Beaumont/Tyler. South Texas is its own style as well.
Beyond the typical Liberal vs. Conservative discussion, Texas has less taxes and you get to keep more of your money overall. If someone absolutely must be in Texas and is a Hipster/progressive/gender varied then Austin is the place to be. It's hip, and trendy, without overdoing it and without actively excluding old-timey, traditional folk. Weatherwise, yes, Texas can be HOT, not as hot as AZ or NV, but yeah.
You gotta give it up to Austin. They have one heck of a marketing team thinking that it is so different than from the rest of the larger cities in Texas.

I guess you would be familiar with our current situation wouldn't you?
How about something a little more current than 2010?
The bulk of Texans do not live in a severe drought stricken area while the bulk of Californians do. The Bay Area where you live is colored in deep red indicating trouble.
Clearly my point went over your head, not surprised though. Droughts are cyclical and considering the drought TX had in 2011, the worst EVER in its HISTORY, it seems pretty stupid to talk crap on CA's current situation don't you think? Also almost the entire state of TX including all of it's big cities were in an "exceptional drought" in 2011. Just surprised someone from a state notorious for cyclical droughts would try to harp on another state for their current situation, but double standards are fairly common with your posts I guess.

Texas isn't going to run out of water anytime soon. California is.
Texas isn't going to have any major earthquakes in the coming years. California is. Remember that big one that rattled Southern California the other day caving in streets & buildings? Its just the beginning of a monster quake about to hit your state.

Neither is CA, so not sure what you're talking about. Feel free to post some articles because you know damn well I can do the same with TX. Amazed at how hypocritical you are about some of the same problems these states face.
Okay, and I guess Texas has no natural distasters to worry about do they? LOL
Although I was just pointing out what a hypocrite you are when it comes to topics like this I guess we all did learn a few similarities these states have. So thank you MetroMatt, for once your posts actually provided some value to the thread topic

Pick your poison. The difference is Texas' top 3 natural disasters are predictable long before they happen giving people time to prepare for the worst, California's are not.
