Why are so many people moving to Texas?

[Alwayreckles93]

Is went to visit the town I grew up Fort Worth Texas it has changed so much from the time I used to live their. Traffic is crazy it use to take 20 min to get to a place now it that's like an hour. Also it's sad to see how much it has changed over the years.

All those cali people hate the policies they constantly vote for - So they go to texas where people vote for the policies everyone likes - Problem is those same cali people still vote for those same exactsstupid policies they ran away from while taking the privileges of red policies - Absolute morons I hope someone hits them in the head so they start actually using the brain cells that haven't been used since they were 12 - And finally they vote red.. Imagine texas in 50 years turning into everything texas stands against..

[Danny_dan92]

Amen. I’m trying to get tf out of cali. Fuck Newsom and his hypocritical and disgustingly lacking of empathy towards the citizens

[Alwayreckles93]

@Danny_dan92 Wait are you planning on moving to Texas?

[Danny_dan92]

No Arizona. Gun laws are better there

[Alwayreckles93]

@Danny_dan92 Well Texas you don't pay taxs for food or groceries.

[Danny_dan92]

Yeah I know. I care more about the gun laws.

Texas does have the cheapest gas prices and less taxes overall but yeah

[Alwayreckles93]

@Danny_dan92 What ever works for you.

[Stoner710]

Because conservatives from Washington California and Oregon who are tired of left wing politics are move to more conservatives states, What we’re seeing right now is a great sort based on left wing and ring wing values Texas is right wing so people with right wing value are moving to Texas or Florida or Tennessee, people with left wing values are moving to California seattle and Oregon or New York. People in the middle don’t really have a place to go right now

[DizzyDesii]

I used to want to because it had better pay and more attractions (theme parks) but i think i’ll pass

[MTC29]

No state income tax, near zero gun control, shall issue conceal carry permits, "stand your ground" right to self defense, and a governor with the balls to his portion of the border and ignore all of the bullshit everything coming out of DC... essentially the same reasons I move to Florida.

[legalboxers]

2 words.. 2nd Amendment. Open carry all over the place. You go take a shit. You got your gun. You go bop your wifes sister.. you got your gun. You go to a waffle house, you got your gun.. You go to Church and pray that the Lord and Savior Donald Jesus Trump comes back to office.. You git your gun...

[Alwayreckles93]

You know they have this law if someone breaks in you shoot them and they will consider it self defense.

[legalboxers]

@alwayreckles93 if someone farted on them they would shoot and say self defense. You insult their dog they would say self defense.

[Alwayreckles93]

Yeah they do take things way to personal. I went to high school in Texas kids even kick the teachers and would not respect them. This one kid even try stabbing the principal from what I heard from other kids telling me.

[legalboxers]

@alwayreckles93 one of these days, that mentality will end them in an oak box. And they deserve it

[exitseven]

Because California is such a screwed up mess with high taxes, hish real estate costs, homeless people lining the streets and the worst Governor in the country. They are leaving in droves and many are going to Texas. The rest are in Florida.

[WhiteSteve]

I don’t know. I love Austin, one of my favorite places to visit, but it’s bloody hot in the summer, I could never live there full time.

[KostasKouvalis]

It seems to mostly be Liberal Californians. They know it's affordable and the economy is good, yet when they come and vote for the same party whose policies they moved away from.

[Exterminatore]

To leave blue states where things are falling apart due to low wages from competing with illegals for jobs and being taxed to death.

[Alwayreckles93]

It's no longer the place where I grew up in. It used to be that friendly vibe town. Now it gone sadly.

[Exterminatore]

That’s the trouble. There is a mass exodus out of CA. These people go to red states like TX and ID and change the landscape and bring their politics with them.

You’re lucky to have grown up in TX.

If I wasn’t married to my job, I’d move to FL or TX tomorrow.

[Alwayreckles93]

Yeah it is a nice place to live in , Everything is a lot cheaper too and you don't pay tax on your groceries. When is back to school season you don't pay taxs on electronics even furniture.

[Alwayreckles93]

Also 95% of the people are Christians good place to raised a family.

[michael1469]

According to the BLS, the average wage for all Americans rose 27% between 2010 and 2020, from $44,410 to $56,310. Four states with the highest-growing salaries top this average wage: Washington, California, Massachusetts and Oregon... all blue states... with the highest avg wages... what other bullshit ya got?

[Exterminatore]

What other BS you got as you state wages and not the rising cost of living?

[Exterminatore]

When someone gets a hypothetical $2.00 an hour raise it’s wiped out by $200 more in rent a month, $100 more in gas a month and the rising cost of everything.

Those states need higher wages to raise taxes to pay for illegals and things Democrats don’t mind taking from working peoples paychecks while forcing them to compete for jobs with foreign nationals.

Think things through better next time.

[michael1469]

You think tax cuts pay down the national debt dont you?

[Exterminatore]

We’re not discussing the national debt. We’re discussing why people are leaving blue states.

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

A former co-worker moved from Miami to Houston, when I asked why he leaving, he said it was mucher cheaper to live over there with his growing family, besides Texas doesn't have state income tax which is attractive to many.

[loveslongnails]

Don't know why. It's one of the last places in the USA where I'd choose to live.

[Alwayreckles93]

I left Texas about in 2012 I believe. Yeah a lot of road radge and to much fighting lol

[loveslongnails]

And that's not even the worst of it !

[Alwayreckles93]

What the worst you had seen? Lol

[loveslongnails]

I'd rather not go into that.

[Alwayreckles93]

I see

[John_Doesnt]

Women must hate having freedom if they're moving to Texas.

[Iron_Man]

I have no idea it’s the same old story why are so many people moving to Florida

[Texas_guy]

It’s a good place to be. Plus warm weather , no state income tax. Who wouldn’t want to be here

[Alwayreckles93]

Free tax season and you never pay taxes on food lol I remember does days lol

[Alwayreckles93]

Wait you were born in Texas?

[Texas_guy]

[Anonymous]
