Cali and NY Residents Moving to TX... Is This A Good Thing?

[InMAGAWeTrust]

Jobs and (relatively) lower COL.. I get it, if I was them. But as a born and raised Texan, this pisses me off for a number of reasons including -

 

* Property values (and thus taxes) are going through the roof. 

* Traffic is absolutely insane in the metros 

* Feels as if texas is becoming less diverse 

* they destroy any sense of a city’s culture, and instead replace local mom and pops with new shiny national brand retailers or restaurant chains

* they are generally extremely liberal and vote accordingly

 

 

What do you guys think? I know you all have a hard on for JOBS JOBS JOBS, but as texas residents (assuming), is it worth it?

You know what they used to say.... 

The three scariest sights in the world were a Mexican with a knife, a Black man with a pistol, and a Yankee with a Uhaul. 

 

That was back when we could all laugh at each other.  But we'd have probably used slurs, so I guess things are better in some ways.

I know there are pros and cons, but your point of liberal voters increasing, which is very valid, makes me lean very far towards it NOT being a good thing.

If they move to Texas and vote like a liberal=Bad Thing.

If they are sick of what their state has become and vote Republican=Good Thing

They’re coming from California & NY. Probably a fair chance the majority of them have a “Beto for President” sticker on their bumper before too long...
