Are you new to the Internet? People have been bashing Texas every time there is some weather event since Internet chat rooms existed. Ditto for California. It’s what happens to large politically powerful states, especially when they have opposing political philosophies. It does not mean most people think this way. It’s just stupid internet crap.

What are you, 5 years old? “They did it to me first! I feel bad so I’ll do it to them!”



Grow up.

Sounds like you are describing a small part of Texas.

What are you talking about? If you're talking about cold weather in Texas, it was a 2.5-day power outage, and there was an amazing amount of cooperation. No turning on one another. You're not in Texas, and you're flat-out lying if that's what you're talking about.

So while slightly over national average, it is lower than here by quite a bit. Maine is also one of the few states that splits their electoral votes. As with most places, the cities are blue but the country is red.

Sales tax is lower, income taxes are lower, property taxes are about a wash but you get much more for your money there. We are going from a 3 bed, 2.5 bath, 1k sq ft house on a typical suburban lot that will sell for close to 600k to a 6 bed, 5 bath, 5500 sq ft home on 24 acres for 450k. Our property taxes will be about the same for the new place as they are for our current one.
The person you are responding didn't say anything about San Diego.

TEXODUS starts in late 2021/early 2022. It's going to take time for people to fix their houses, and list them, so dont expect anything for a while. And, If the summer is record breaking, it will turn very bad. Like years to recover bad.

Covid - icemaggedon - record summer. Ouch. Pray for a mild summer if you live in texas.

Poor/lower middle folks are going to go to arkansas, tennessee, oklahoma, carolinas, and new mexico.

Middle/wealthy are going to go to AZ, florida, California(lol), and other mountain states.

Eh. Never seen a rattlesnake lol. Or a Cottonmouth. Dusty is in the western part of the state, where it isn’t humid!! Lol

Texas has its charms. It’s for sure not for everybody though.
