      Cali is amazing, it’s just so expensive because the wages are high and there are tons of people moving there for jobs, which drives up housing and rent

    • @iamsam10001
      @iamsam10001 5 років тому +12

      @Saul Abrego Maybe you're right. But the point is every big city has the same problem. It's not a Austin and Houston specific problem . But compared to Toronto where I live, the livability in Texas cities are much better. The Greater Toronto Area has a population of over 6 million yet we still have only one major highway in the city and it's literally the busiest highway in the world. The infrastructure here is peanuts compared to Texas. That's what I was saying.

      when I was in college up at NTSU, I worked with a woman from NY. She and her husband had come to Denton so he could study jazz. She said once that they were going to go to LA over the Memorial Day long weekend. She was depressed when we told her that they could not make it out to LA and back in four days (they were going to take an extra day). At least not and spend any time in LA. We said "the bad news is that you'll drive for a day and not even be out of the state yet; the good news is that at the end of the day, you'll be halfway to LA."

    I know for a fact if people get out of hand. Texas is Brutal and have our own instant Justice System, we look out for one another. We don’t look for troubles, we live life to the fullest, we love our space, most importantly we are all individual problem solvers. All Native Texas are like this and will never admit.

    I'm a Black dude, and I have to agree.
    I was a registered Democrat all my life and I realized people in the blue states are garbage and rude as hell.
    I thought being rude was normal behavior until I visited Texas, Georgia, Idaho, and Iowa and I LOVED the people there.
    People in red states are nice, kind, and most importantly Considerate of others. I've never seen this before.
    I grew up in the Washington DC area and I NEVER made a single friend at all, they accused me of being too nice!
    I hated it! I see why the Nice red states are afraid of the blue infections. If your state has to remain red in order to maintain your kind charm so be it. I left the democratic party years ago and now I'm a libertarian. Peace and stay kind Texas!

      You’ve heard of acting, right? Conservatives are known to be conservative (selfish only). Not everyone likes showing their REAL attitude or how much pain they are in out in the open socially. Texas is still cool, though. I have no issue with it. But people in red states aren’t nicer. Get real.

    • @matthogue1386
      @matthogue1386 2 роки тому +17

      I'd have to agree.
      I'm a wildland firefighter who goes all over the country. The nastiest people I've ever dealt with were in Massachusetts, Connecticut, New York State, and southern Michigan.
      The nicest have been in the Carolinas, Montana, Georgia, Tx, Wisconsin and North Michigan (Above the Mackinaw bridge). Oregon, California, and Washington had people just wanting to be left alone, not really nice, not really rude; A different culture, would be the best way to put it.
      The first places I listed, the people are just generally angry, at everyone and about everything, if they see you, you're treated like you've somehow wronged them, when I lived in CT, I was treated like an absolute piece of garbage just for being there.
      But the red states, you show up and most of the time, you get treated like an old friend, which was very odd to me but it is a thing! Some folks are kind of hard to get away from sometimes... haha

With all the other taxes OR LACK THERE OF I lived on $2500.00 less per month which saved me $27,000 a YEAR! You can live GOOD in Texas manly due to the lack of government micro management! Your property rights in Texas are POWERFUL and saved a family of FIVE $140,000 a year combined!!! We are all living better You see in Texas you can build 5 or 6 homes on your own land if you have a tiny bit of acreage and even make a private street with your name on it and move your whole family into their own homes on ONE piece of land and NO BUILDING PERMITS needed.

With all the other taxes OR LACK THERE OF I lived on $2500.00 less per month which saved me $27,000 a YEAR! You can live GOOD in Texas manly due to the lack of government micro management!

    Harris County (Houston) has a population (2017) of 4,652,980 & covers 6,193 sq mi. Houston covers 627 sq mi of which only 22 sq miles is water. The state of Rhode Island is 1,214 sq miles so the entire state would fit in Harris County.👍👍

    I am a Texan, and I agree with most of what you say. I don't think it's that friendly though. I've only lived outside of Texas for less than two years in the Finger Lakes region of New York (Canandaigua) and we were amazed by how nice and welcoming the people were. It just isn't like that in Texas. I think there are so many people moving in and out of Texas all the time, that having new people is nothing special. No one goes out of their way to show you around or make you feel welcome. You're just another face in the crowd. When we moved to New York , everyone was really excited to see new people especially people from, where I assume they sort of viewed as, exotic, as silly as that sounds. Everyone couldn't wait to show us their town and they really wanted us to love it there. When we moved back to Texas, they gave us a going away party at school and made us scrapbooks, etc. It was kind of unreal. That would never happen where I'm from.

      Harris County (Houston) preferred Hillary by 12% in 2016. Yet you plastered Trump's face over the city.
      In 2018, every Texas city (plus the Border counties) went even more Democratic.
