People are leaving Texas over rising costs, partisan politics, and a sense of disenchantment

Bruh these rents are getting sky high. 2k and up to be in a decent house in Houston you may as well pay a few hundred more to live in Cali suburbs! shyt I got mad as fukk just thinking about it yesterday because me and my girl are looking to move into a house …

They're giving cats the runaround more and more too

Do you mind sharing the county you are in? Me and my wife discuss doing something similar. Oklahoma is and Michigan are two places my wife keep throwing out.

I live in Conway, it’s a college town but also a suburb with some country parts further out
It’s Faulkner County

Some of those laws they're presenting and passing are fkkd.

Need that cripple to die already


Wtf do I need my passport to drive to the supermarket?

Wife and I have been much happier since moving to the country in Arkansas
Around family
Making some cool friends
Traffic isn’t a hellscape
Only thing is I pay state tax
Only driving to Houston if certain artist aren’t going to Dallas or Memphis
Couldn’t pay me to move back there

How is Arkansas, I'm guessing you're in Little Rock?

I been thinking about visiting there since it's probably the only area in the south outside of Tennesse that has a Fall weather with good outdoor activities

With the rental applications?

Texas weather is ass, and too many Mexicans.

Might as well move to coastal Mexico with cheaper COL and better weather if I'm gonna be round the migos.

Not sure why someone left leaning would move to a conservative part of the country and be shocked when their political views don’t align with the majority. Also don’t see why you would move just because they don’t share the same views as you. Can still be friendly neighbors .

Reminds me of Koalabama. Folks out here just keep it trucking and could GAF about right or left. Yes this is red state, but the folks are not insufferable like the ones in GA and SC about it. At the end of the day, we all trying to get by, fukk a left and right.

Texas doesn’t have Cali perks to have Cali prices. If yall paying that much to stay in fkin Texas i say run! Gtfo before it’s too late

Arkansas and Alabama are hidden gems. I was drilling out of Little Rock for a year. Loved the area, women were cool, and housing seemed to be cheap. I hear nothing but great things about Arkansas.

Huntsville has the highest concentration of Engineers in the US. Between the military and NASA, there’s a huge need. My Wife has people out that way though and the poverty is real poverty.

[Ol’Otis]

Can you deal with it being cold as shyt half the year is what you need to ask yourself

It sucks, you wouldn't like it. Stay in Cali, no need to even chance it.

I’ll just look into Seattle

 

[CouldntBeMeTho]

I’ll just look into Seattle

Seattle is expensive as LA. If anything, there's some medium size cities inland California that are about as close to the Midwest as u wanna get lol

Cap, everyone with sense is leaving
