Texas would be a decent state to live.
A lot of you people aren't considering a number of reasons people move to areas they do...until you become a home owner..........
My choice of where to live has little to nothing to do with weather, or cost of living.
The number one issue of importance to me when choosing where to live is the culture and people who live there.
I want to live where:
- The overwhelming majority of people are well educated (at least bachelors degrees if not one or more masters)
- Most people don't give a rats ass about Football. (or Basketball for that matter. Baseball is OK, Hockey is tolerable.)
- People are mostly secular, and going to church is not considered an important part of social life, or a social necessity at all.
- A rational, empirical interpretation of data prevails over all else, including religious or political dogma.
- People are not just tolerant, but embracing of other races, religions, cultures, sexual orientations and other choices for partnering/living and parenting arrangements.
- I rarely have to see pickup trucks or SUV's,
- Guns are rare or never seen at all.
I know I can't have all of these, but when I choose where to live, I find the place that best matches the above regardless of cost or climate. I would rather live in a closet sized home where the above is true, than in a mansion where it is not.
