If your liability insurance is 200 for a Infiniti then that’s on you bro. Either getting ripped off or your driving history is complete ass. That’s normally $50 tops.
Energy bills are high because A/C is mandatory in the summer. But outside of June-Sept. very cheap energy bills.
There are toll roads but the major freeways don’t have tolls, at least in Houston. 59, I10, 610, 45, no tolls. There are two major tollways, Westpark and Beltway. Not necessary to take those tollways regardless of where you are going.
Property taxes are high, no doubt. But houses are MUCH cheaper than most states. Rather buy a 300-350k 2 story home with 4 bedrooms, than pay 2mil for it in California. Who even buying houses in California unless you from a wealthy family? You can make it in Texas from nothing, not sure why people in here acting like its only poppin for rich white folk.
Yes, the summers are fukking trash. Too fukking hot.
But im cool with ya’ll not coming down here regardless. Getting too crowded.
