After several years spent in Colorado, returning to Texas , I was almost in tears after hearing that familiar “yes ma’am” and having a young man hold a door open for me. Love my Texans!
Actually, I think we DO try to be better, at least at what we're doing - largest oil and gas industry in the nation. I think we ARE better, just being Texas....and yes, I want to keep Texas, Texas.
@brodikeway Some day one of these disgusting fact sheets about TX is gonna trigger me and I will dismantle every single fallacy they've thrown up. But today we make the Pecan Pie.
It’s not always a good thing to have enormous growth. Everything goes up! Please stay where you are and make your own state, cities, countries and communities great again! Thank you! 😊
Wealthy Californians coming to Texas are driving the cost of land through the roof. Texans have difficulty buying land now. It's also driving up the property taxes and utilities.
Agreed but it's fellow Texans/companies that allow it. They should not fall into the greedy and avoid selling to people from the "rich states" for a quick buck

We're almost out of water here in Texas. I live between Austin and San Antonio called Canyon Lake. We moved here to downsize, and to get away from the Metroplex on the east side of Dallas. The crime rate, the growth of rental property in our neighborhood, the traffic and continuing road expansion projects were all factors in retirement in a more rural, and less crowded area. Now the Texas Hill Country is one of the fastest growing areas in Texas. The growing pains continue here!!😮😢
@davidwarner3326 Yes I do realize that! Every place that I have moved to in my 78 year life has had growing pains. Road construction, utilities construction, school construction. And all that goes with getting in early while it's still reasonably priced! It's still WAY BETTER here in Canyon Lake than it was in Garland TX. And we have a beautiful lake that's still half full. If I was unhappy here, the lake would be half empty!
@@barrylitchfield8357. You know what’s funny? You think you’ve “got me”. So if Texas is running out of water, your logic is “everyone dies” My logic is “Texas and the US isn’t going to let millions of people die because the aquifer dried up” I didn’t write that there was a plan. I simply implied logically, that there will be a plan. Which there will be for all Americans when it comes to water. And don’t sit there acting like Texas is running out of water in the next 47 days.
As a native Texan that has lived in or around all the major and minor cities of Texas, I'm not loving the enormous growth. I actually live in Kaufman County and even out in the boonies we are getting WAAAY overgrown too fast. I live on a nice sized ranch so the big plus is when we eventually sell it and move to the Panhandle, it will be worth big $$$. Our ranch is gorgeous with big beautiful old oak trees but reality is that someday someone will tear them all down for a housing addition. Sigh. This happened to my childhood ranch in N. Texas. It is now covered in million dollar houses for a lot of Californians. I have never lived outside the state but I have been to most of the states of the lower 48 and we have some of the nicest folks but that is starting to change as all the people come flooding in. I should also warn that our weather is not for the faint at heart with tornadoes and hurricanes...and the HEAT is for real. Also, we do have horrendous allergies and pollen problems across the entire state.
I live in Ft. Worth. I hate living here now. Sad fact is.. even though our house has raised in value.. if we sold, we would not be able to buy another. I can not find a State we can afford to move to.. it's too expensive.😢 I'm sorry your land will be taken by this state. Imminent domain is just wrong. I wish you well in the panhandle. My brother lives in Snyder. Even there it's a problem. I suggest you buy some land there asap. Do you have a State you can suggest?
👋 Collin County here, and it's crazy how much more we're growing too. apartments going up everywhere. they need to stop and find a different place to move 😂 good luck in Kaufman Co!
@@ksiepert I love growth and progress...i just don't want all the people moving here to bring their politics because then that growth will go out the window if they vote on their politicians. Democrats ruin the success of any place they gain control of.
Let's get real here. The more people move to Texas the more prices will increase. Especially property taxes and property prices. I live in Wyoming and it's happening here. A large number of people coming here are from Colorado and California because it's cheaper to live here. But it won't continue to be less expensive, simply because of population.
That would be blue moving in and voting blue. Local government are just as, if not more important. If funds are mismanaged, they cry poor and raise taxes. Developments buy up land and raise cost too. Because of more people in a small area, county has to accommodate infrastructure.
@ZazelAgiel I'm a "damn yankee." I do not align with anything the dems do. They destroy God, family, and morals. Their actions, including some Republicans, are what is destroying everything.
Lifelong Texan here: If you want to move here and enjoy our bustling economy, just remember that it was our politics that made it this strong, so don't come in and try to change it!
Careful what homes you get though, get all necessary inspections even if they are brand new. Been house hunting for half a year in South Texas. 100,000 homes are often literally falling apart, be wary. While new homes have been found without ANY insulation. Don’t ever buy without deep consideration and inspections.
This is true ANYWHERE but especially any HIGH GROWTH area. Entire Subdivisions are popping up like mushrooms after a rain. 🌧️ 🍄 With the exception of Pre-Fab Home Kits or 3D Printing they go up so fast, and with cheap unskilled labor, they are bound to have Quality Control Issues. Be wary out there!
@@sintay8002 check homes FOR SALE BY OWNER. I bought a home from the owner 2013 and got a great house. They had all the warranty policies for roof, A/C, hot water heater and replaced the breaker box while I was there. I didn't have to pay an agent's commission. I spent several years looking through an agent and came up with 3 homes, all of which failed an inspection, before I found the house I bought.
I live in TN, and we have got alot of NEW ppl from Jersey and NY It has been an Exodus out of those super blue cities... And now housing cost has almost doubled!!! We have TRAFFIC now!!! And yeah, they bring different values, beliefs, and morals... It's A LOT at one time... It's a little overwhelming, and my beloved state is changing quickly right in front of my eyes
Seems like Texas may lose serious population in the next year or so with Captain Deportation in charge. I'm sure that'll have no negative impact on the Texas economy though....
The more you make available a rare and coveted commodity, the more you devalue it. Texas is the Greatest nation on earth and it needs to stay that way. If you're gonna move here, be ready to embrace what makes Texas awesome, or go someplace else.
Good thing is many that are leaving my state of California tend to be people who agree with this idea and don't want more leftism. They have had their fill of drug addicts and murders walking their streets. Sadly there are a few leftists who leave CA and come to Texas becuase of employment, these ones are a concern in my opinion. They need to be quickly become brought into how things are done in Texas... or they might make it California 2.0. But yes I think Texas will be safe from the crazies. I say this as a lifelong Californian who has seen their state destroyed by leftists. I personally am looking at Idaho, Houston, Austin. Houston is going to grow a ton due to industry. It would be wise to find some good people who build and rent apartments and see if you can invest with them.

Every one of your videos is informative, factual and presented with a direct and un-bias nature. Also your content is always varied which is a welcomed relief.
No mention of the education system. As a teacher of 39 years in Texas, I have seen a steady decline in the state's portion of the budget used to support education. I am not talking only about teacher's pay, but also the amount of money the state budgets per student. I am ashamed that a state so rich in resources totally ignores their most important resource for the future of Texas, the children.
If you have taught 39 years your also know the quality of student has gone down due to poor parenting and fatherlessness which leads to poverty. Nine out of ten kids are living without a dad. Women can handle it on their own right? Not! Well, not in the law of averages. You also know many schools are passing kids on because they have nowhere to put them. These students do nothing in a six-week grading period and teachers are left with twelve zeros in the grade book but magically those grades all get bumped up to passing. Gangs, violence, drugs, etc. Administrators running crazy all over campuses trying to put out fires. Tell the truth about what is happening. This is a morality issue that money cannot fix. Liberals are all for major support of the worst of ideas that morally bankrupt society and children too. They'll celebrate a child saying they are trans much more than one earning a national honor in academics. If you are ashamed of Texas education, you might as well move to California and teach. Oh, wait! You're probably hanging out for the retirement check. Pffft!
You failed to mention the 1266 incidents of Teaches being fired from 2018-2021 for inappropriate relationships with students. Or the estimated 800+ Teachers short-cutted the certification process out of Harris County. Why does the Teachers union protect them?
Texas is about to permanently fix the education problem with school vouchers. From now on the lackeys working in the Texas education system will have to answer for their poor teaching skills due to competition from the private school system which WAY out performs the public system. My advice to you if you are a good teacher is to move over to a private school and drop that woke worthless education system that will be a thing of the past.
Very few from California is moving to New York. They are moving to Texas, Nevada, Arizona, Utah, Oklahoma, Colorado, Washington, Idaho and Oregon. People are leaving New York and most are going up and down east coast, mostly to Florida. People are also leaving Illinois to all its surrounding states. If non-citizens not here legally were not counted, as they shouldn't be, all blue states would lose 1 or 2 reps. That's why they want them. They get extra Democrats in Congress.
To many people and not enough water. Problems are already bad with drought and aquifers, wells being depleted. Infrastructure is also an issue. Many places that have all these new people were not ready for the influx of drivers on the roadways.
I live in the county of 93 municipalities, it’s obscene. That would be St. Louis Co. Missouri. My home was built in 1949, 1406sf, 7rms, 3br, 1bth, 34,000sf lot. The going rate in my area is $120,000. I can think of no less than a dozen cities or neighborhoods where my property would start at $250,000, a couple where it would push $4-500k
Unfortunately, incoming Califorians are flipping houses in Texas as fast as they can, falsely inflating the cost of single family homes, which is jacking up the prices of apartments, so Californians are helping cause inflation in the state.
They did that around Austin for a while but, like all bubbles, that one has burst and property values in the Austin area are starting to come back down. In San Antonio, prices have remained pretty stable as housing supply has pretty much kept pace with rising demand. There’s far less NIMBY in Texas and developers have formidable political clout in most urban areas which are still surrounded by reasonably priced plots fit for purpose. Homes are still a reliable store of wealth but they’re no longer the speculative bonanza they were a decade ago when there was a pent up demand following the bundled mortgage crisis of 2008. Supply is continuing to come online and Texas will remain comparatively affordable for housing in most places. That said, depending on where and when you’re shopping, your results might vary. 🏘️
Thanks. I've been wanting this info for a while. BTW, you have a good speaking voice. Also, Better volume, enunciation, pronunciation than most. Rare that I can't catch what you're saying.
Prices vary around Texas, not all are the same across the board, but you’re right I live in RGV Texas and those kind of homes are in that price range, in California those homes would go for like what..2 or 3 million??
I moved in 2010 from cali and I live in a popular part of north Houston. I can definitely tell a difference now in population, the traffic is soo so bad, its like living in LA again...

Native Texan, very well covered! Except you forgot to mention Texas Instruments is building a massive semi-conductor chip plant in Sherman with a new workforce of 2,000...about 15 miles from where I live.
Well howdy, neighbor! I'm near that too. I'm not happy about the growth it will bring. Sherman is going to explode like Frisco, TX. I enjoy living in a small town and I'm sad about how quickly it's changing.
@@JesusGarcia-ij3yd they sent their business overseas and shut Sherman plant. I guess overseas didn't work out very well. The chip shortages forced them to move back.
I've lived in Texas most of my life, from 1955 to now. When NASA was built near Houston in 1959, the population exploded and has had a steady increase since then. Great place to luve!!!❤

Collin County, located North of Dallas County, is growing ridiculously fast. They are building neighborhoods and markets so fast that after a few years lots of intersections are unrecognizable.
Moved to Texas from California 3 years ago. I’m still thinking why didn’t I move out here many years ago. I never thought I was going to feel very proud saying I’m a Texan.
Just remember Texas grew because our politics are DIFFERENT from the now failing states of New York and California. Feel free to come just be ready to change your failed politics.
All the weather man has to do is threaten a chance of snow and people in North Texas absolutely wipe out the grocery stores 😁. I know this all to well because I am an old grocery man. It actually cracks me up 🤣🤪😁. We go through some serious inventory in short order. It genuinely helps with product rotation.
To: @toddt - LOL! And in Central Texas if it does SNOW A little, no one goes to school or work. LOL! Also some people get very excited to see snow, they get outside & try to make a ⛄️ snowman. 🤪😂🤣🤗😄
@@jerryrichardson2799 Well the state needs to create income in some fashion. At least you can choose your house based on value and what you purchase which is better than the state taking it off the top while still hitting you for property and sales taxes.
Not sure if you stated this, kinda feel like its important. We also have around 20 guns per person in this state. No license to carry, and you can also carry knife of a certain length. Shit badass here. Don't come. The more outer staters, the bigger the cities the less pecan trees. Damn having to schedule with your neighbor when ya go out an gather now. It ain't like 20 years ago. And the damn traffic man.
Sorry my friend. After Illinois (land of taxes) did their second covid shutdown. My employer decided to close and sell. I did not want to move. However, I have family in texas and needed more job options. No worries thou. I will not vote blue. Democrats are the reason I picked to move to texas. That and the new gun laws that Boss Hogg Pritzker tried to enact were a violation of my 2nd admin rights. Texas is a beautiful state even if hotter than I enjoy. Hope my presence does not bug you that much. And feel free to pick all the pecans you want. The tree we have in the backyard seems to get raided by the squirrels before we can get them. Squirrel stew is tasty thou.
He’s got a point about urban sprawl though. All these suburbs are gobbling up the farm/natural land. Crop yields are on the decline as fields are facing more extreme weather, so it’s important that we protect our farmland. And if you want animals to exist outside the zoo, well they need natural habitat. As the population expands, it’s important for cities to build more up, not out.
Partial joking partial truth. Don't really care if you guys come in, just don't bring the politics if your coming from the outside of possible, highly appreciated. The second is like someone pointed it out urban sprawl, but that's more or less of a societal problem. We emphasis on economic, over all. When it should be world, then society, then economic. For instance I haven't seen a natural damn dandelion grow in the wild since a certain time ago. I recall the mass pesticide spraying for mosquito happened. After the spraying pretty much seeing a dandelion,(and I mean the one with medical properties) disappeared in the urban areas. But yea just a joke. Id figured the traffic part would be give it away xD No for real tho, avoid i30,35,160 and 120 gotten pretty bad recently, and loop 12s multiple death traps. Also don't expect them to finish construction on the highway. We been working on 35 for over 15, 20 years ago. Pretty learn your streets man, my best tip to give.
Thank you sir WATOP for your vlog....very informative about Texas....your making us want to move there too. hahaha....we are now looking into it....affordable houses....more power to your vlog Sir...continue on..😊

I've lived in Texas nearly all my life, I was born and raised in West Texas. 90% of people in feudal times didn't have a say in anything in their lives, fact. I get it, you've never studied history. A hint: Look up the word "serfdom".
@@jerryrichardson2799 my family has been in Texas since the 1700's. And yes I have studied history. Your lack of understanding that every Texas citizen is a king is the problem. I lived in California while I was in the military. If you want to know what serfdom is move there for a bit.
@@MetaGuideMediaNo, you didn't study history, if you had you wouldn't apply the term serfdom to modern day California, which is a triumph of _capitalism._ After all, California is still the _wealthiest_ state in the country, fact. You're an ignorant reactionary ideologue.

As someone spending a lot of time in Phoenix, not only is the population growth noticeable but also how certain things seemingly specific to CA are gradually becoming pervasive in our state of Arizona. (List 25, please note the spelling of “Phoenix”)
Californian here, who has family that live in greater PHX area. I am curious and concerned for AZ’s sake, what do you mean? I have heard AZ has been becoming more blue.... Is that real? Or is it non-citiizen voting?
Texas A&M Rellis just announced that they're going to be setting up a Nuclear reactor in the near future. They've already gotten state approval and support
Well it is a mostly hot southern state so idk if it's worth spending money for a super rare cold spell. 😅 Honestly, education is more important because 99% of the deaths during the cold spell were due to stupidity.
Yep, at the worst possible timing. One of the major coal plants was down for maintenance, and it takes about a month for those to cool down enough for those activities. Then it was needed in an emergency, so maintenance cancelled and fired back up...which takes about 2 weeks for maximum output. Added to this, STP Nuclear (Bay City) had frozen water intakes and one of the reactors had to be taken offline. I lived on the coast in a beach house: elderly landlords on top, me in bottom apartment. I was glad that my grandfather taught me how to lay a fire, as I was able to keep the upstairs around 70F, with their fireplace, during the worst of it. We heard generators across the bayou, but they fell silent by the third day. Even the gas station pumps were down, with non-perishable (cash or debit card only) at the groceries, and you had to bring your own light.
Yeah, that was kinda embarrassing. But when you live in a region where temperatures hover around 100 degrees 100 days of the year and around 90 degrees another 200 days of the year, preparing for cold snaps ain’t exactly your first priority. That said, we learned our lesson, kicked some bureaucratic asses and hardened the grid. Next time we’ll be ready but we’re still a little short in the snowplow department and probably will be until blizzards in Texas become a more regular thing. 😉
@@josephbravo2590 What was really embarrassing was the water infrastructure. Most of Texas, for the reasons you gave, bury building water lines 1-2' underground. This is fine 99.99% of the time, up until that one time where the ground freezes and lines pop 1-2' underground.
Traffic in DFW is a nightmare, the weather I enjoy but I prefer the heat, Housing is becoming more and more expensive and your getting the same homes, there's not a whole lot to do except drink and spend money.
Hi Steve! Great information, very informative! I really like your choices of subject matter, a little bit of everything! Thank you for sharing your information!
We moved to Texas from South Carolina and we are glad we did. Carolina isn't as conservative as it used to be so I am glad we got out. Rural Texas has the traditional nuclear family values you get in a truly conservative area.
Though I was born in Texas it’s a fact that I was early to be one of those who moved from Cali to Texas. I was in the Navy in San Diego in the 1990s, and formulated a plan to move to Austin once I got out of the Navy. I pulled it off. Then I got even smarter and moved to DFW.
@@tomaslopez2940me too, I’m a bit worried about it honestly. Like when there’s a new hot nightclub everyone realizes it’s the best and flocks to it and ruins it and then leaves it in the dust
Housing prices are getting bad because of wildfires getting worst recently. And the reason why the homeless problem keeps getting worse also is because there restrictions on renting is way worse. I tried to get my brother to live with me and my landlord won’t allow it because his credit is low even though I’m able to afford the rent myself.
That's kinda how exploration and frontier stuff works though. We just throw bodies at stuff until we start surviving. I don't know why the billionaires are putting their patooties on the line for it now, but whatever. They'll figure out that they aren't immune to the woes of the explorer.
That house he showed for $150k was a listing from 1992. The Texas coast is a magnet for hurricanes, particularly the greater Houston area which never drained well even before it was a city. With 7.5 million people paving over everything a Cat 5 direct hit could be devastating. Central Texas also had 100 days over 105 F last year and every year just gets hotter and drier.

That’s fine, I just hope the people don’t move from California to Texas because it is a better place to live than try and change it . The reason we are better is because, we are a RED state, please don’t try to destroy us by turning us blue.
We're turning Texas BLUE and it will be better. As is, California and New York (along with Oregon and Washington) STILL have a much higher quality of living for the people. Texas is a SH*THOLE.
I prefered when Texas was faded into the background. It's been ruined in the last 20-30 years. I grew up in North Central Texas in a city of 9K generational people, so even if you didn't personally know someone you recognized everyone or knew one of their relatives, and now it's 230K people and still growing every year. Housing prices and property taxes have sky rocketed and traffic is a nightmare. City services, most importantly fire departments and water availability are horrible. And to remedy water, in only one instance, the state is TAKING 70K acres of generational farmland in North East Texas to build a lake to pipe water to DFW. Fertile farmland is now concrete, housing developments and businesses. It's forever changed and ruined.
EXACTLY! We in Florida have been dealing with this for years! We tell people to get on I-95 and point your car North. Keep going until you hit Canada! And a shortcut would be to get on I-75 and head North…until you hit anything north of the state lne!
Born and raised in Texas. Have moved to Oklahoma and Arizona and now I am back. Harris county is where my dad lives. I visited him last year and hardly recognized where I grew up
Oddly Texas welcomed companies while states like California basically kicked them out. Gonna be pretty interesting if Texas can handle this increase in growth better than California.
I don't know where you got your housing prices? You way off! 150k house in the ghetto maybe? I've lived here all my life. That house that you said was 150k was more like a couple million!
My Husband spent some of his childhood in Bedias, TX. The only place in Tx that ever creeped us out to go back for a visit... which we rightly understood meant it was okay to leave quickly without being chatty ❤️The rest just felt like home to me, and was home to him, until his family moved to CA and got stuck here. If we could come back to stay, we would.

@RobertMJohnson - Please enlighten me about your statement. When the aquafer and the rivers and lakes dry up, tell me your plan.
@@barrylitchfield8357. You know what’s funny? You think you’ve “got me”.
So if Texas is running out of water, your logic is “everyone dies”
My logic is “Texas and the US isn’t going to let millions of people die because the aquifer dried up”
I didn’t write that there was a plan.
I simply implied logically, that there will be a plan.
Which there will be for all Americans when it comes to water.
And don’t sit there acting like Texas is running out of water in the next 47 days.
As a native Texan that has lived in or around all the major and minor cities of Texas, I'm not loving the enormous growth. I actually live in Kaufman County and even out in the boonies we are getting WAAAY overgrown too fast. I live on a nice sized ranch so the big plus is when we eventually sell it and move to the Panhandle, it will be worth big $$$. Our ranch is gorgeous with big beautiful old oak trees but reality is that someday someone will tear them all down for a housing addition. Sigh. This happened to my childhood ranch in N. Texas. It is now covered in million dollar houses for a lot of Californians. I have never lived outside the state but I have been to most of the states of the lower 48 and we have some of the nicest folks but that is starting to change as all the people come flooding in. I should also warn that our weather is not for the faint at heart with tornadoes and hurricanes...and the HEAT is for real. Also, we do have horrendous allergies and pollen problems across the entire state.
When you move they just place those ugly communist houses over your land DONT GO 😂
I live in Ft. Worth. I hate living here now. Sad fact is.. even though our house has raised in value.. if we sold, we would not be able to buy another. I can not find a State we can afford to move to.. it's too expensive.😢 I'm sorry your land will be taken by this state. Imminent domain is just wrong. I wish you well in the panhandle. My brother lives in Snyder. Even there it's a problem. I suggest you buy some land there asap. Do you have a State you can suggest?

@@ksiepert I love growth and progress...i just don't want all the people moving here to bring their politics because then that growth will go out the window if they vote on their politicians. Democrats ruin the success of any place they gain control of.
Agreed. 🫤
Let's get real here. The more people move to Texas the more prices will increase. Especially property taxes and property prices. I live in Wyoming and it's happening here. A large number of people coming here are from Colorado and California because it's cheaper to live here. But it won't continue to be less expensive, simply because of population.
That would be blue moving in and voting blue. Local government are just as, if not more important. If funds are mismanaged, they cry poor and raise taxes. Developments buy up land and raise cost too. Because of more people in a small area, county has to accommodate infrastructure.
@@nanofoods It isn't just blue. It's transplants plain and simple.

Careful what homes you get though, get all necessary inspections even if they are brand new. Been house hunting for half a year in South Texas. 100,000 homes are often literally falling apart, be wary. While new homes have been found without ANY insulation. Don’t ever buy without deep consideration and inspections.
This is true ANYWHERE but especially any HIGH GROWTH area. Entire Subdivisions are popping up like mushrooms after a rain. 🌧️ 🍄
With the exception of Pre-Fab Home Kits or 3D Printing they go up so fast, and with cheap unskilled labor, they are bound to have Quality Control Issues. Be wary out there!

Good thing is many that are leaving my state of California tend to be people who agree with this idea and don't want more leftism. They have had their fill of drug addicts and murders walking their streets. Sadly there are a few leftists who leave CA and come to Texas becuase of employment, these ones are a concern in my opinion. They need to be quickly become brought into how things are done in Texas... or they might make it California 2.0. But yes I think Texas will be safe from the crazies. I say this as a lifelong Californian who has seen their state destroyed by leftists. I personally am looking at Idaho, Houston, Austin. Houston is going to grow a ton due to industry. It would be wise to find some good people who build and rent apartments and see if you can invest with them.

Every one of your videos is informative, factual and presented with a direct and un-bias nature. Also your content is always varied which is a welcomed relief.
No mention of the education system. As a teacher of 39 years in Texas, I have seen a steady decline in the state's portion of the budget used to support education. I am not talking only about teacher's pay, but also the amount of money the state budgets per student. I am ashamed that a state so rich in resources totally ignores their most important resource for the future of Texas, the children.
If you have taught 39 years your also know the quality of student has gone down due to poor parenting and fatherlessness which leads to poverty. Nine out of ten kids are living without a dad. Women can handle it on their own right? Not! Well, not in the law of averages. You also know many schools are passing kids on because they have nowhere to put them. These students do nothing in a six-week grading period and teachers are left with twelve zeros in the grade book but magically those grades all get bumped up to passing. Gangs, violence, drugs, etc. Administrators running crazy all over campuses trying to put out fires. Tell the truth about what is happening. This is a morality issue that money cannot fix. Liberals are all for major support of the worst of ideas that morally bankrupt society and children too. They'll celebrate a child saying they are trans much more than one earning a national honor in academics. If you are ashamed of Texas education, you might as well move to California and teach. Oh, wait! You're probably hanging out for the retirement check. Pffft!
You failed to mention the 1266 incidents of Teaches being fired from 2018-2021 for inappropriate relationships with students. Or the estimated 800+ Teachers short-cutted the certification process out of Harris County. Why does the Teachers union protect them?
Texas is about to permanently fix the education problem with school vouchers. From now on the lackeys working in the Texas education system will have to answer for their poor teaching skills due to competition from the private school system which WAY out performs the public system. My advice to you if you are a good teacher is to move over to a private school and drop that woke worthless education system that will be a thing of the past.
@@GetsumJ Yes! I forgot about all that, but you are correct.
Doesn't stop people from flocking here ao clearly not even the enlightened cali folks care that much if they cant afford a good life.
Very few from California is moving to New York. They are moving to Texas, Nevada, Arizona, Utah, Oklahoma, Colorado, Washington, Idaho and Oregon.
People are leaving New York and most are going up and down east coast, mostly to Florida.
People are also leaving Illinois to all its surrounding states.

Unfortunately, incoming Califorians are flipping houses in Texas as fast as they can, falsely inflating the cost of single family homes, which is jacking up the prices of apartments, so Californians are helping cause inflation in the state.
They did that around Austin for a while but, like all bubbles, that one has burst and property values in the Austin area are starting to come back down. In San Antonio, prices have remained pretty stable as housing supply has pretty much kept pace with rising demand. There’s far less NIMBY in Texas and developers have formidable political clout in most urban areas which are still surrounded by reasonably priced plots fit for purpose. Homes are still a reliable store of wealth but they’re no longer the speculative bonanza they were a decade ago when there was a pent up demand following the bundled mortgage crisis of 2008. Supply is continuing to come online and Texas will remain comparatively affordable for housing in most places. That said, depending on where and when you’re shopping, your results might vary. 🏘️
Costs made me go homeless for a short period of time.
Thanks. I've been wanting this info for a while.

Right? thats 350K easy, probably more. This whole video is just stupid ngl
Prices vary around Texas, not all are the same across the board, but you’re right I live in RGV Texas and those kind of homes are in that price range, in California those homes would go for like what..2 or 3 million??

Sorry my friend. After Illinois (land of taxes) did their second covid shutdown. My employer decided to close and sell. I did not want to move. However, I have family in texas and needed more job options. No worries thou. I will not vote blue. Democrats are the reason I picked to move to texas. That and the new gun laws that Boss Hogg Pritzker tried to enact were a violation of my 2nd admin rights. Texas is a beautiful state even if hotter than I enjoy. Hope my presence does not bug you that much. And feel free to pick all the pecans you want. The tree we have in the backyard seems to get raided by the squirrels before we can get them. Squirrel stew is tasty thou.
He’s got a point about urban sprawl though. All these suburbs are gobbling up the farm/natural land. Crop yields are on the decline as fields are facing more extreme weather, so it’s important that we protect our farmland. And if you want animals to exist outside the zoo, well they need natural habitat. As the population expands, it’s important for cities to build more up, not out.
Partial joking partial truth. Don't really care if you guys come in, just don't bring the politics if your coming from the outside of possible, highly appreciated. The second is like someone pointed it out urban sprawl, but that's more or less of a societal problem. We emphasis on economic, over all. When it should be world, then society, then economic. For instance I haven't seen a natural damn dandelion grow in the wild since a certain time ago. I recall the mass pesticide spraying for mosquito happened. After the spraying pretty much seeing a dandelion,(and I mean the one with medical properties) disappeared in the urban areas.
But yea just a joke. Id figured the traffic part would be give it away xD
No for real tho, avoid i30,35,160 and 120 gotten pretty bad recently, and loop 12s multiple death traps. Also don't expect them to finish construction on the highway. We been working on 35 for over 15, 20 years ago. Pretty learn your streets man, my best tip to give.

Yep, at the worst possible timing. One of the major coal plants was down for maintenance, and it takes about a month for those to cool down enough for those activities. Then it was needed in an emergency, so maintenance cancelled and fired back up...which takes about 2 weeks for maximum output. Added to this, STP Nuclear (Bay City) had frozen water intakes and one of the reactors had to be taken offline.
I lived on the coast in a beach house: elderly landlords on top, me in bottom apartment. I was glad that my grandfather taught me how to lay a fire, as I was able to keep the upstairs around 70F, with their fireplace, during the worst of it. We heard generators across the bayou, but they fell silent by the third day. Even the gas station pumps were down, with non-perishable (cash or debit card only) at the groceries, and you had to bring your own light.
Yeah, that was kinda embarrassing. But when you live in a region where temperatures hover around 100 degrees 100 days of the year and around 90 degrees another 200 days of the year, preparing for cold snaps ain’t exactly your first priority. That said, we learned our lesson, kicked some bureaucratic asses and hardened the grid. Next time we’ll be ready but we’re still a little short in the snowplow department and probably will be until blizzards in Texas become a more regular thing. 😉
@@josephbravo2590 What was really embarrassing was the water infrastructure. Most of Texas, for the reasons you gave, bury building water lines 1-2' underground. This is fine 99.99% of the time, up until that one time where the ground freezes and lines pop 1-2' underground.

Though I was born in Texas it’s a fact that I was early to be one of those who moved from Cali to Texas. I was in the Navy in San Diego in the 1990s, and formulated a plan to move to Austin once I got out of the Navy. I pulled it off. Then I got even smarter and moved to DFW.

Housing prices are getting bad because of wildfires getting worst recently. And the reason why the homeless problem keeps getting worse also is because there restrictions on renting is way worse.

Moved to Texas in 1977. Love the mindset here. We’re independent, God-fearing, can-do, patriotic, friendly, tough, innovative and more.
Since I became so rich in cryptocurrency I realise that crypto is the future cuz I invested 10k and made up to 36k as weekly profit I appreciate the help of your channel 😃🙂....
For me trading has not been good well 😞 for me every day I come to watch video's I only see people appreciating how good they trading works.
How do you manage to use signal to make such profit 🤷...
@@badeni_zlsn I am currently guided by Ava Kimberly
Her platform is really safe and secured, not quite long I joined her discord
Yes!!! That's exactly her name ( Mrs Ava Kimberly.): so many people have recommended highly about her and i just started trading with her from Canada 🇵🇪
Great vid. Great host. Don't Mess with Texas.
It's simple economics of supply and demand. As the population increases everything gets more expensive.
Texan here! A message to CA & NY specifically & for those that may NOT understand the relationship between how you vote & policies. WERE PROUND OF NON SANCTUARY cities, no state income tax, low fuel costs, minimal & only necessary regulations. Hospitality & hard working, no woke agenda is what you can expect.
I love where I reside in Texas is awesome we got a little weirdness sometimes but it doesn't get out of hand because of the type of people that live around.. it's all about being respectful.. mind yours and help when you can.. AS LONG AS TEXAS STAYS RED ♥️ IT'LL BE ALL NICE ND OF COURSE THIS IS WITH ALL RESPECT BECAUSE WE LIKE TO BE FREE AND WE KNOW FREEDOM AIN'T FREE..
Stop shouting. Texas will turn blue and the people will be happier.
@@jesseibarra5539 are you still trying to succeed from United States? Just don't start a war with Mexico.
All the large cities in Texas are blue.
@@occamsrazor5376 you must not have seen the election map.
@@melodymcminn4107 that's because that's where all the city slickers live. The ones doing all the work vote red and don't live in those areas.
Yes I am a new subscriber. I like the info. I value your anonymity. So much research and facts to check to host info videos like this. Props!
That’s fine, I just hope the people don’t move from California to Texas because it is a better place to live than try and change it . The reason we are better is because, we are a RED state, please don’t try to destroy us by turning us blue.
Native Texan here, and I don't know what the heck you are talking about, it's been going downhill since we became a red state.
We're turning Texas BLUE and it will be better. As is, California and New York (along with Oregon and Washington) STILL have a much higher quality of living for the people. Texas is a SH*THOLE.
California is a better place, by far.
@@Deuteromis uh did you watch the video?
@@Tom-if9hc lived in both places. Only good thing in California is the beach. Everything else sucks.
Money seems to always be associated with success, not always true. The amount per student is so much considering the results.
U know u listed North Carolina as California? 2:01
Basically the same, no? Lol
No, see, we here in North Carolina have morals.
I prefered when Texas was faded into the background. It's been ruined in the last 20-30 years. I grew up in North Central Texas in a city of 9K generational people, so even if you didn't personally know someone you recognized everyone or knew one of their relatives, and now it's 230K people and still growing every year. Housing prices and property taxes have sky rocketed and traffic is a nightmare. City services, most importantly fire departments and water availability are horrible. And to remedy water, in only one instance, the state is TAKING 70K acres of generational farmland in North East Texas to build a lake to pipe water to DFW. Fertile farmland is now concrete, housing developments and businesses. It's forever changed and ruined.
EXACTLY! We in Florida have been dealing with this for years! We tell people to get on I-95 and point your car North. Keep going until you hit Canada! And a shortcut would be to get on I-75 and head North…until you hit anything north of the state lne!
Born and raised in Texas. Have moved to Oklahoma and Arizona and now I am back. Harris county is where my dad lives. I visited him last year and hardly recognized where I grew up
Oddly Texas welcomed companies while states like California basically kicked them out. Gonna be pretty interesting if Texas can handle this increase in growth better than California.
We will, we could hardly do worse. 🤠
No union wages in Texas. Yay!
Junction, TX is the next hot spot for real estate.
I don't know where you got your housing prices? You way off! 150k house in the ghetto maybe? I've lived here all my life. That house that you said was 150k was more like a couple million!
I was just thinking the same my house i owe is worth 150,000 and don't look anything like them mini mansion
Yeah yeah probably south side well in mine.
This entire video is propaganda - obviously subsidised by Elon Musk.
@@occamsrazor5376 Texas is overcrowded and closed duck the guy in the video
Copperas Cove, TX the houses he showed were $188,000 not (150k) in a nice neighborhood before Biden came along*
My Husband spent some of his childhood in Bedias, TX. The only place in Tx that ever creeped us out to go back for a visit... which we rightly understood meant it was okay to leave quickly without being chatty ❤️The rest just felt like home to me, and was home to him, until his family moved to CA and got stuck here. If we could come back to stay, we would.
Vote KEEP TEXAS TEXAS
I do vehicle state inspections and yes alot of California people are moving to Texas.
I’m a born Texan who was raised in California. However, make no mistake, it’s yes ma’mam, sir, thank you, excuse me and bless yer heart. I love my country, my Texas and my mamma and pawpaw. I honor my family, I love God and have guns, know how to use ‘em too. Grew up on a horse ranch, raised cattle and my brother went into the military at age 18. Texas really is the best state. Hard working folks who are God fearing and proud people. I love California but I’m a Texan too. ❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊
I was raised in born in Texas my whole life
And I’m really getting tired of all the other license plates
There are twice as much morons on the road now
I resent it personally
It just increases the possibility of an accident
I like my Texas, quiet and calm
I hope Trump fixes all this stuff
So these people can just move back 😑
World-class infrastructure? That's laughable. Just ask a Texan about their experiences in the winter.
one bad ice storm in 50 years is your gripe , ugg
@@sandraclick7812 Clearly some California kid with no common sense.
Great work.
