Why We Left California for Texas

Поділитися
Вставка
  • Опубліковано 13 бер 2022
  • I know...this is probably a touchy subject for people and Texans/Californians might not be happy about this... But in this episode we go over why we left California for Texas. The plan is to be here for a few years but we'll see as I've been enjoying it here so far!
    We're currently in Dallas and have been here for about 2-3 months now. We packed our bags and moved by doing a 4-day road trip with our belongings. The 24 hour drive wasn't too bad when split up into multiple days!
    To be honest, being in Dallas feels similar to the Bay Area, but feels bigger. I guess this is due to how we spend our days - we don't go out that much anyway, and all the places we want to have nearby are here. We're also lucky we have some close friends out here. Watch until the end to hear our thoughts!

    Great video once again. Love your channel! I lived in Dallas growing up... a millennia ago. We too were transplants from California (Mojave Desert/Antelope Valley) and Texas was one of my favorite places to live. Subsequently other members of my extended family relocated from the LA area to Dallas years later and they too found it to be a wonderful place to live. You are right, the people there are great, Dallas has everything to offer that any large city can, but with a definite laid back feel and that Texas charm! Hope you continue to enjoy your lives there, settle in, and you too will learn just how much bigger and better things are in Texas - life, hospitality, opportunity, and most of life's joys. Thankfully one of the things that is small (non-existent) are State income taxes! The best to both of you!

    Word of caution to would-be Cali folk moving to Texas. Texas has some of the highest property taxes in the U.S. Tax assessors are playing catch up to factor in the skyrocket climb in prices. Our county latest tax bills were about 30% higher (Mine was about $8K a year from $5,400....my home which is a new build 5BDR/3BTH, 2,800 sq ft and paid $290K in 2020 and is now valued at $505K).

      @@xjumpmaster82 Yes you are free to move wherever you want in the US. But they also have the freedom to express their displeasure at people with opposing world views, (not you apparently), coming and changing their state for the worse. Whether Texans have the right to tell people to change their views or not, this is irrelevant. The fact is, when a group of people migrate to a place, they change the politics and culture of that place. This is a problem and it needs to addressed. So, it's better to ruffle some feathers and clearly address the issues than to just be polite and let the left, in ignorance or otherwise, mold Texas in their image. It's not time to be nice since the consequences of Texas changing in this way would be pretty bad. Regarding protests in Austin, they're none because most conservatives have families, kids and jobs so they don't have time to do that. Liberals, at least the ones who protest a lot, often don't care and will protest and pillage regardless of the future consequences to themselves.

    Don’t move to Dallas if you’re single. Everyone there gets married by 8th grade and the finance bro leftovers have soft hands and think top golf is a personality trait 😂
