Making excuses why red states like Texas are thriving, while blue states like California are going down the sh*t hole. And they want that for the rest of the nation?

Yeah I can't wait to hear how snow-capped mountains and humpback whales trumps abundance of jobs and opportunity. Cue Jeopardy theme in 3... 2... 1...

CA does not understand basic economics 101. They just don't get that you will go into the hole if you spend more than you make!

You do realize CA is in trouble because of long-term effects of Prop 13?

Interesting... all the ones listed in Texas are in the burbs of Houston, Austin, Dallas. The counties the principle cities are in are not listed. You can extend the red vs blue theory right there, too. But regardless of politics, if the list is true, it debunks a lot of topics thrown around here on this board. Transportation for one.

I noticed that too.... counties with SugarLand, The Woodlands (also the two nicest outer burbs of Houston IMHO), and Round Rock.... but no Harris or Travis county, at least before I grew tired of clicking through each photo.
