Any Blue State Transplants Considering Bailing on Texas? (Houston, San Antonio: live in, parks)

Why wouldnt a liberal person feel at home in those places? Id feel more at home in a major city regardless of which state its in as opposed to Lubbock or Bakersfield.

As a conservative, you would but heads with the people who live in my Houston neighborhood just as you would in Los Angeles.

People cant see past state line and refuse to acknowledge the MASSIVE cultural difference that exist in states. We have nothing in common with the Panhandle even though we share the same state.

Both Houston and Dallas metro areas have about 6.5 million population each. Houston city limits: ~2.3 million population, Dallas city limits: ~1.3 million. Those millions do matter, but they are less statistically significant vs metro area population. Of course, the suburbs are not all red. But even the urban cores are not 100% blue as well.
In a future we need to bring those urban cores to the state standards. Will see.

Personally I think it's worth the extra cost to live around other progressives, but that's just me. We bought our 2 bedroom condo last year in Seattle proper for $525k. Apparently the value has gone up to $635k. I'm grateful for our fixed rate mortgage because the cost of rent is crazy.

Still there's a steady influx of new residents into Seattle, including some native Texans. I think there is an unofficial sorting out going on like folks are saying.

@ $635K you're not paying anything extra that you wouldn't pay in central Austin or Dallas.

I would add Dallas to that list. Dallas proper is very liberal.

People should live where they are happy.

Is it legal to do it out of state if they are still Texas residents?

I’m trying to figure out if you’re serious. White nationalists DEFINITELY AND UNEQUIVOCALLY are pro life. This is a very easy thing to double check. I’m amazed that someone could even make that statement and not put a winking emoji next to it. Either that or you I’ve inside a bubble or echo chamber.

Nope. I live extremely close to Downtown. I get ubers very often and probably 3/4 are American.

You also live in Houston so idk why you are comparing it to San Antonio. There are a lot more Americans in San Antonio than Houston percentage wise.

White nationalists are not pro life because they don't want little black and hispanic babies to be born. Who do you think gets the most abortions???

I would bet city San Antonio people are more conservative than rural people from Vermont.

I don't know but I hear that Elizabeth Warren and I believe it's AOC are 2 Democrats calling for abortion clinics on "Federal Lands". Not sure what that means. National Parks? Native American Reservations? But it sounds like they're trying to find ways around the law.

Hell, the lady who started Planned Parenthood did it specifically because she wanted to exterminate black babies.

Black people are only 13% of the population but make up a very large percentage of abortions. I don't know the exact number.

Many, if not most white nationalists are very much pro life/anti abortion, as they see the percentage of the white population decrease every year as the whites are are soon to be the minority nationwide compared to the black, Asian and Hispanic population when combined.
