It's about the people and the culture. We've been here for for 1.5 years and are happy with our move! I agree that if things get crazy again in our country, Texas will be one of the best places to be.
Perfect comment - I have used that same analogy about Californians and Locusts! I have seen the effect of California peeps destroying a neighborhood - I have two brothers who live south of Denver and the slow but inevitable deterioration from California migration is evident. I’m from North Jersey, been here two years, and love Texas! Once Texas peeps know you want to keep Texas, you’ll have lots of new friends! 🤠
I read that Florida has an aggressive Open Records Act. Florida officials report all the weird behavior whereas other states may not "because the incident is under investigation." The same odd crimes may happen in other states, but the general public in those states do not hear about it.
