Which of these states would you prefer to reside in?

Texas

Oregon

I have lived in both, sort of. There are things I like about both. But really the decision would depend on the exact location.

I would NOT want to live in the same part of Oregon that I mostly lived in before. I wouldn't mind living on the east slopes of central Oregon though (which is probably where that picture is.) I lived there for a short while and liked it - didn't like my job, but liked the area.

There are probably more parts of Texas I'd want to live in than Oregon. It has a lot to offer. I would probably live in the hill country, the SW desert, or maybe the coast. Even the panhandle would be OK - I don't think you'd hear too many other people say that though.

Both states are pretty varied both geologically and culturally. So there is a lot to pick from.

Anyway, I think my answer will tilt in the Texas direction

Oregon is the Simpsons with Californian sensibilities (remember, the show is technically a hybrid of values of California living and Oregon looking suburbia)

texas just bc its cheaper

oregon is really beautiful tho

[OlderAndWiser]

Oregon is too far left for me. At least as crazy as California, perhaps even worse.

[Kingofkings1992]

Many people people would feel the same way about Texas

[OlderAndWiser]

They think that Texas is also too far left?

[Kingofkings1992]

No, that Texas is too extreme politically for their liking. Come on. Don’t be stupid

[OlderAndWiser]

Say what you mean.

[CupcakeTheDestroyer]

Fuck the desert, hard pass

[Kingofkings1992]

You didn’t say that about California. Desert covers about 40% of California’s landscape lol

[CupcakeTheDestroyer]

And it covers a lot more of Texas

[Kingofkings1992]

Nope. Actually, less than 10 % of Texas is considered desert 🤣

[CupcakeTheDestroyer]

Don’t care, fuck that place
