Don't move to Texas

[Hood Critic]

We moved from New York to Texas 8 years ago. I'm still struggling to adjust and grieving the life I wanted for my kids.

My husband moved our family from New York City to Texas years ago. We got divorced, it doesn't feel like home, and I don't like raising my kids here.

Articles like these are hilarious and sad at the same time.

You know moving to a sprawling state like Texas you'd be doing a lot more driving and yes, for sports it's incredibly annoying - I can't disagree.

But the reality is, for all the praises shes singing of NY, she realistically can't move back because she can't afford it.

Down south you either have to chose to live in a small community in the deep burbs/middle of nowhere to get the feeling she's describing or the larger metropolitan areas, which comes with all the things she doesn't like. You aren't going to get both.

Won’t You Be My Neighbor? No Thanks, Elon Musk.

Residents of an upscale enclave outside Austin, Texas, learned the hard way what it’s like when a multibillionaire moves into the mansion next door. Some of them have started a ruckus over it.

The mansion was one of three that Mr. Musk bought in the area over the last three years to create a compound for his children and their mothers. At one point, Claire Boucher, known as the musician Grimes, lived with Mr. Musk and their three children in the house. Shivon Zilis, a brain technology executive who has four children with Mr. Musk, lives about a 10-minute walk away. Mr. Musk also purchased another Tuscan-style mansion about a year ago.

LOL and Wow.

100% right. Based on her article she lives in Magnolia, TX. You can't even get sidewalks in your own subdivision. I'm sure she doesn't have the money to move to inside the 610 loop or even ex-burbs like Alief (older housing going for the $250k-$350k and newer houses for $450k)

Gov. Dan Patrick and was fiercely resisted by consumers and by businesses that sell gummies, joints, drinks and other products derived from hemp.
