People are leaving Texas over rising costs, partisan politics, and a sense of disenchantment

With the rental applications?

Not just with that, but just getting an update on available floor plans

That covid influence is wearing off. People are finally waking up and realizing the grass isnt greener, what they moved away and what they moved into. Wait til next year when all hell breaks loose.

Got to add that most of the major cities in TX now cost just as much as living up north on the west coast. Pandemic proved to me one thing that all the cities people say is dangerous and hell holes are the ones that are holding their values up amid housing crisis.

As a Cali breh the Midwest is looking way better than the south
@Buckeye Fever @Tenchi Ryu what yall think?
Can I make it in the Midwest?

fukk naw I’m literally freezing my balls off right now as I type this post

Texas doesn’t have Cali perks to have Cali prices. If yall paying that much to stay in fkin Texas i say run! Gtfo before it’s too late

I said the same thing, Austin is damn near Cali prices but without the food, weather, women, scenery, beach, mountains, and weed. I have no idea why people love Austin.

Texas is a big ass state.

I think the problem is people work and live near major cities and the surrounding areas. That tends to drive up everything.

This is why we should be at a point where remote work in most industries should’ve been phased in.

This entire country has revolved around cars and highways/freeways since the 50’s.

We should have advanced rail network infrastructure, top notch telecommunications and remote work models in a lot of industries.

But, our education is underfunded. No high speed rail, shytty road infrastructure, and the price of cars and fuel has risen greatly. Now housing is unaffordable to many.

If you’re single, you gotta make at least $65,000 and up no matter what state you live in, if you plan on paying bills and saving money. shyt is ridiculous.

Noooooo I moved to Ohio from Cali. It gets way too cold out here. I swear most of the people that like it here are white or old

Lived in Atx for 10 years and you’re spot ton. Austin is fake progressive, you have a bunch of “allies” but in reality those yt folks there ain’t no different than the ones in Houston, Dallas or San Antonio. Atx def has more scenery the other Major cities in Texas but that’s not saying much.

 

[Absolut]

Move in, raise costs, leave.

The California way

 

[Michael's Black Son]

Gentrifying ass CACs get out gentrified by their own brethren and have to leave because the ball ain’t bouncing their way anymore

Just stay away from New York, we’re all full and over capacity

 

[Pull Up the Roots]

Texas seems like an awful state. I'm not surprised people are leaving.

Sounds like NYC, concrete jungle and home of the fake liberal that would be the guest of honor at a segregationist convention + get a nomination for the regional Bull Connor Citizenship Award.

We got it all here:
- bootleg liberals
- actual liberals when it comes to using your mental illness to chop off your díck
- insane wealth gap
- made up high prices
- cops that wish they could wild out like law enforcement from Eyes on the Prize
- abysmal wages for anyone darker than printer paper

But hey, you can still get a chopped cheese at 3am and some K2 masquerading as haze

Couldn't pay Mr enough to live in Texas. One of the worst states in The Union...

 

[desjardins]

Sad part is native Texans will just spin this as a win since they didn’t like the new comers to begin with
Dallas and Houston metro exploded the last decade so I wouldn’t read too much into this, they’d have to lose hundreds of thousands of people to get to pre migration numbers

Yup you're paying North prices these days and if so I'd rather live up north. I'm moving back to NY
