Three questions for Texans (condo, how much, homes)

Makes one wonder if we could have the best aspects of blue and red US states in one package, no?

That would be great but has yet to happen in any big state.

The few countries that seem to have pulled it off haven't done so as well as many Americans like to parrott (Norway, Sweden, Finland) and each of these places won the natural resources bonanza.

I admire Switzerland greatly. Things are quite purple there in many ways. However, not replicable by us.......for one The Swiss have a top to bottom work ethic we simply don't have.

So you want Texas to be only white people?

Maybe he's OK with conservative minorities!

1. How do you feel about the rapid population growth that Texas has been experiencing over the last several decades and that Texas will continue to experience for a very long time to come?

2. How do you feel about the demographic change that's currently going on in Texas (specifically having Texas become more diverse and with larger non-white and immigrant populations)?

3. How do you feel about Texas gradually becoming more and more of a purple/swing state as opposed to an exclusively red/Republican state--in part as a result of the demographic change that I mentioned in my question #2 here?

Thoughts?

1. It's a tragedy

2. If you change the demographics of a state you will change absolutely everything about it. The Texas of yesteryear will be gone

3. At this point, I hope we do go left, raise taxes, whatever we can do so all of the tech businesses and what not coming here flee back to California or some other state. All of the people that are only here to make money will go too and you can leave Texas for the people that truly love the state. Ironically, Republican politicians are their own worst enemy

Also, are Texas Democrats more pro-gambling than Texas Republicans are?

I think both sides are pro gambling it is the politicians that are the problem...

Switzerland is very conservative.

Texas has always been a very diverse state,
Remember, Texas used to be part of Mexico and there's lots of people that are descendant of those "original Texans" that .... as they say .... "they didn't cross the border, the border crossed them"

You'll have to elaborate.
