Wait - people are actually leaving Texas now??
Okay so the last time we talked about Texas we learned a lot. We figured out where the best places in this state to move to, and where you should NOT move. We also talked about the different areas in Texas, and what makes Texas great and what makes Texas bad.
The best places you can live in Texas are the northern suburbs of Dallas in places like Frisco, McKinney and Plano where it’s really safe and the schools are good. A lot of the suburbs on Houston’s west side - cities like Sugar Land are also great. However, these all areas are REALLY expensive.
We talked about the BAD places to live in Texas, too. Houston after dark is a terrible place. The border towns are really rundown but not too dangerous. Bellmead and Humble are also not places you’d want to move, either. Austin is the fastest growing city in this whole damn state, but there’s too many people here now and too many homeless folks now.
Texas remains the top state where people are moving to right now. And with that comes a lot of drama.
But there’s a lot more to Texas than that. We didn’t talk about some Texas history, interesting facts and the issues that people in Texas face today.
So that’s what we’re gonna do in this video. Kind of pick up where we left off in a more lighthearted way. We’re going to look at all of that stuff and even meet some people who LIVE in Texas who are gonna tell us what its like in their state and where you could move if you relocate here. It’s time for Cornerhouse Tales: Texas. The Divided State

@@hisnameisiam808 Right like you had no problem with housing in the past and it just got so much worse in the past 8 months. Well sorry but that is not how things work. Meanwhile when demand goes up and supplies go down then the prices go up also because the person still need to make the same amount of money even if they have less goods to sell so they sell at a higher price. It is called economic 101 but no learns that anymore either. Meanwhile we have vacant homes all over the country that need to be taken down and built new instead of keeping on wasting and taking land wildlife needs to live on. We need to stop being a throw away culture The sad think is that our billionaires have doubled their money in just the past 5 years where most Americans are even or worse. What I do not understand is why are billionaires not paying there fair share in taxes and why they are not helping more people and give better benefits to their workers. We need to be a society where we see these people as selfish and not people to look up to.

@@texasisfortexans7170 Well maybe you should think that though because someday due to climate change TX may not be a place where people want to live due to the hurricane and the heat. So we in MN will make sure you are not welcomed here either. As far as I am concern we would all be better if all the conservative took the South and made their own country and let the rest of the states on their own. Most states in the south are very dependent on the North and would not do well. For example for every dollar MN send in for federal taxes we get .45 back. For every dollar Alabama send in for federal taxes they get $8.00 back. Yet they are at the bottom and refuse to take a chance to do better with another party. Instead when you have one party in charge of a state for years with no input by the minority you usually end up with a lot of good old boy network where everyone in power is connected some how ( other then work) with each other. For example the Sheriff is the cousin of the Judge ect.

But housing cost in southern Maine have gone crazy. Many people from Massachusetts and New York are moving here and compared to their housing costs, Maine is still cheap. 335,000 is relatively low for southern Maine. Central and Northern Maine is cheap. You can get a very nice house along the coast of mid Maine for under 300,00 and one inland for under 200,000.

I've been anxiously awaiting a redux of your original unboxing Texas video. I'm someone who's grown up in the DFW metroplex nearly all my life and the growth has become so uncontrollable and urban sprawl even more unbearable. The influx of people moving from other states (and other factors) has drastically increased the price of housing in the last few months alone. Some are buying said houses with no intention of even living in them themselves (Renting out property). Summer's are absolute hell too, 80-100+ degree weather for a period of 6 months is becoming easier said than done (especially when the energy bill comes in the mail). Gas is pretty cheap here though, but you're also driving a lot more than you would if you lived in pretty much any other town in the US. Though I love Texas to death, there's just too many people here now for my tastes, sadly my plans are probably to leave here soon...

I personally don't think it's just Californians it's more a loosening of values that's making some Texans more open to very bad choices. I'm against legalized gambling for sure, it's an economic plague only good for tourism and not good for the native residents.

Houston city has 670 square miles and 2.3 million people. Dallas has 330 square miles and 1.3 million people. So they’re not all that far off. The problem with Cleveland city is it covers a very small area, only 75 square miles while Houston has nearly 700 square miles. Still even in that 75 square miles it used to have nearly a million people. The enlarged metro area including Akron and Canton has about 3.6 million people.

Texas is huge and much cleaner than California cities. Cities in California are beginning to look like slums especially downtown Los Angeles , Oakland and downtown San Francisco area which is littered with homeless encampment goring so rapidly that it's out of control and there is zero hope for any improvement. Gas is overpriced here in California where its $5 per gallon along with high home prices that is out of reach completely. Not to mention high taxes which our politicians loves to waste on useless program. California has became a criminals playground there is no consequences for their crime. It's like giving them a slap on a wrist and let got. Criminals are kept in jail for only 8 hours and freed again. Cities are looking like a trash bin with lots of illegal dumping everywhere. Bottom line is that cities in California are turning into a ghetto. No wonder the state's population declined and companies are moving out.

What most historians ALWAYS forget is Mexico was against SLAVERY. It wasn’t GUN’s, the Tejas or Texans wanted the freedom to keep their slave economy.

@invisalats841 3 года назад

Yeah original US migrants to Texas had their slaves sign indentured servitude contacts to get around the fact slaves were illegal. To be honest the friction between Texans and Mexico was inevitable as it was literally two different cultures and Mexico was hands off until things started to actually develop. Mexico looked the other way because they didn't have the ability to actually govern the whole territory but eventually with all things they eventually stopped ignoring it and things went south from there...

@jefferygreene8538 3 года назад

I love my state and I live in San Antonio best citY in Texas, but it’s a big joke how tourist think the battle of the Alamo was fought over Texans and Tejano’s wanted their freedom.

@invisalats841 3 года назад

@@pamlaenger6870 yes and no, you talk about reading history but then make a wildly misleading statement. Spain made slavery illegal well before Mexico gained it's independence, during the years following Mexico's independence the government failed to enforce it's laws across the territory, slavery was still illegal. In fact their inability to govern the whole territory is part of the issue that allowed Texas to grow as it did and fight for independence. So pointing to what was happening in Mexico and inferring slavery was legal is a misrepresentation of early Mexico. To be honest Mexico still has trouble governing and policing it's country so you can imagine how it was as a newly independent government with more land than they can possibly govern.

@jefferygreene8538 3 года назад

@@pamlaenger6870 True, Slavery is not all and inclusive to just Africans. History is reap with the servitude of all races of slaves.

@cindymccants3164 3 года назад

The costs are rising fast thanks for California buyers who will save $300k for a million dollar house in CA and will end up paying cash or 60-70 % of home value in Cash, Frisco, Mckinney and Plano are feeling the brunt of this.

As for the west coast I’ve only been to Washington state and Alaska, I was going to Alaska for a 7 day cruise, we didn’t really spend to much time on land but I would imagine that the locals have a love hate relationship towards tourist. Canada was the only foreign country I’ve been to I was in British Columbia, again we didn’t have much time be around the locals but from what people say Canadians are nice.

Carpetbagger outsiders? Lyin' Ted Cruz (our Senator) is from Canada, and our (utterly useless) lieutenant governor is a disc jockey from Maryland. Both are now pretending to be good Southern Baptists and Texans... 🤷‍♂️
