Moving to Texas

predictable apoplectic responses in the NYT comments...what these people don't get is that what they perceive as "TX" is coming to their cities, the complete opposite of what people suggest is a "blue wave" in TX (which does not exist, look at Beto's dismal poll numbers when he entered the Governor's race last week).

NY, Portland, LA, Seattle, SFBay...all places where crime is up and citizens (including typical NYT demographics) are seeking to own firearms. Sorry NYT readers, Plano is coming to Manhattan, not the other way around

Why Texas and not Arizona, or Florida or some other state?

Lower taxes, great food, more open space, less expensive property, more freedom to do what you want as long as you don't hurt others. The only problem with Texas is that the economy is too dependent on fossil fuel. It's basically a mini petro state. They need to use that oil money to diversify into other industries. I'm not sure if they have been doing that or not, but I don't exactly have faith that the political class is thinking about long-term plans or goals. They only care about fundraising and the next election.

Can you elaborate? I'm not from the U.S but I'm curious.
