Property taxes suck, though, at least in the Houston area.
I like mountains, forests, a varied landscape, really. The winter climate is nice down there, but it sucks hard in the summer. To each his own.

The problem with Texas is not the weather.

I think some of the Texans I know would vote California, but I think most of them would vote Texas. It would be kinda cool to be liberated from the rest of the country

Hot as hell, humid, boring landscape, a weird mix of churchy crap and strip clubs.
Now, Gracie, I'm 6ft and like to shoot at things too. Texas holds no charm for me. All it's got going for it is cheap real estate.
To each their own I suppose. Have you been out of Texas?
I had never lived here until this summer. I just moved

Texas is a great place to live and work. It's not Shangri-La, but what state is? The Governor Bush/Karl Rove through Governor Perry era has been rough, but demographics are changing and Perry is on his way out. Maybe there should be uniformity on textbooks and standards, then the state that buys the most doesn't set the tone for the rest of the country.

How the fuck did Wyoming get even a little bit of color? What did Wyoming do?

I'm trying to figure out why Michigan has a notable blue tint. My best guess is the whole Detroit bankruptcy thing.
