My pet peeve is that California’s overpriced housing market, in conjunction with the influx of corporate relocations to Texas, has resulted in a bunch of mopes selling their houses for $800K and opportunistic sellers in Texas taking advantage of this by driving up the prices of houses because they know they’ll pay. “Oh my my, only $600,000 and I get a backyard with a pool? Deal with me!”
However, this is not the responsibility of either California or Texas. It is a feature, not a flaw, of the way we treat housing, and we should embrace it.
Texans Hate California’s Gun Laws
What really irritates me is when people relocate to Texas from another state and then spend the rest of their lives regretting the fact that they had to leave their home state or claiming that the location they moved from is superior to Texas. Whether or not it is superior, we don’t need to know about it. You obviously chose to live in this location for a purpose; please do not treat us as if we are a dog whose nose you have rubbed in poo.
They are attempting to impose their gun control policies on the rest of the country.
Speaking out about making Texas blue…even though we’ll probably do it on our own (Texas has been democratic for more than 150 years). Please leave us alone. Do we not have the reputation as a flyover state?
They are pushing the regulatory boundaries not for the benefit of the community, but rather as a sport to see how far they can push the envelope in terms of safety and security.
Arrogance. While it’s true that Texas is annoying about its pride, there’s a distinction between being proud and being arrogant.
To be clear, this is more of an opinion on California as a whole, rather than on any individual person. Our next-door neighbors are wonderful people who hail from California. We adore the city of San Diego. It was one of the most beautiful places my wife and I have ever been, and we can’t wait to return.
What are the advantages of living in Texas rather than California?
In addition, medical care in Texas is on average less expensive than in California. According to MIT’s calculations, housing is the most expensive single expense category, and it is also the area in which Texans had the greatest advantage. Housing expenses in California are an astonishing 59.1 percent higher than in Texas, according to the National Association of Realtors.
