    If my budget is one million dollars to buy a home, then I am not buying a home in California because that means I cannot afford to live in San Diego, San Francisco or Los Angeles. At that price point I would probably buy a home in South Carolina or possibly the Suburbs of Chicago.

    For one million I can get a lot of house in a place where there is less demand to live.

    However - if my budget is five million, I am living in Southern California or if I want a lot of land, I am buying a huge amount of land outside San Antonio and I would live like a Spanish conqueror.

    As far as crime is concerned - have you been to Dallas and Houston? Crime is every bit as bad there, and violent crime is actually higher than in Los Angeles or San Francisco. As long as I avoid Stockton I am fine.

    Most of the decisions concerning where people live are based of cost of living - and the reality is that California is a place of extremes.

    Texas is the more business friendly state by far

    So?

    Texas is ruled by a single party and is corrupt as hell when it comes to the political ruling class.

    What is the difference between Texas politicians and Illinois politicians? At least they put them in prison in Illinois.

    Texas has lots of land and resources that have not been tapped or over run like California.

    The level of leadership in Texas is pathetic.

    Newsome destroyed California is one of those alternate reality things you believe if you watch lots of right wing media because they will tell you its true constantly. Like everybody in San Francisco is living in a dystopian Mad Max free-for-all and has to fight off homless mutant raiders seeking to steal your guzzoline on every trip to the grocery store.

    Does it really matter if it's true if enough people believe it is?

    @GOATuve

    the first real members of this entire board when it was changed from clutchcity.net to this oasis for rockets fans are called the 99ers

    the members are superior rockets fans , #1 is Clutch

    he specifically wanted pure rockets fans like

    @Space Ghost

    and myself

    what we represent is greatness that was defined by what Hakeem did for clutch city

    all these jealous haters are hating cause they ain’t us

    I forgot that guy exists. The only person I have blocked, and it made this board so much more enjoyable.

    Texas has had democratic leadership in the past
    Ann Richards

    On your other point about rich people can only afford California. Yes if your budget was 3 million dollars etc . The question is how many people can afford that ? So if the middle class and the lower class can’t afford it , the state will just raise the taxes of the rich .

    so the rich will eventually flee California and they are

    and it’s not all to Texas , go to Nevada and Tennessee
    @ROXRAN can you
