No we hate it when you guys come and try to make our state blue
EY10, I would encourage you to read some more history books on this subject. The argument you are using is literally the exact same argument like verbatim that was used to engage in the mass genocide of native Americans and other peoples. Timeframes matter…Hunter gathers had settled there for thousands of years before Europeans ever knew it even existed. Europeans didn’t have an inherent moral right over it just because they had advanced farming concepts. You could say they have a “survival of the fittest” right to it, which is obviously self-evident. However, if you want to use that as your argument, you are in company with the Nazis. They also used that argument…frequently.
We actually view those places as run down, homeless, overly inflated, tax-ridden and poorly managed states.
EY 3. I would argue that California does not have a functional grid. Rolling blackouts are quite common
I am not an American but I am fascinated with the amount of hate for California and NY here. Is this hate or jealousy? One might not like the policies of these states but there is no denying the fact that CA and North East is what makes America great. Without the CA/NY/MA institutions, you would not be leading the world in medical, technology, science, etc.

Well the premise of this questino is 'NYC and CA are better than TX...does that make you mad?' so the tenor here is unsurprising.

No 😂

Why would you admire people flooding into your state to ruin it like they did the states they are fleeing from?
Californians live in the mind of many Texans rent free. Californians on the other hand, well..
Californians on the other hand….. must be thinking about Texas a lot because they won’t stop moving here
As a Texan, please don’t come. You super city folk are all over our country roads on your weekend drives and killing my day. Please go away.
As a Texan who has traveled to many countries and has lived elsewhere as well (including New York City), please come! I'm looking forward to people from various parts of the country coming here and making Texas a more diverse place, politically, ideologically, racially, socially, etc.
Yes there are a bunch of people here that have a stereotypical NIMBY attitude, but I'm really hoping ultimately what comes of it is progress. Would love to see Texas lead the nation, would be even better if it's thru a third political group that embraces the best of red and blue worlds. Texas is a big place, and frankly I'm pretty annoyed with the divisiveness that has developed over the last few years, would love to live somewhere where everyone gets along and respects one another REGARDLESS of political affiliation, religions, etc. May be a pipe dream, but one can hope.
Just stay put in your dumpster fire states. Please.

Meh. Method and ease of transmission weren’t as well understood. A month later, the TX Lt Gov was literally calling on the elderly to sacrifice themselves for the economy, so I’m not sure your dumb state has much of a leg to stand on.
I'm a New York --> Boston transplant, and OP is the reason why I despise most New Yorkers. Anywhere is better than dealing with them, surely even Texas.
NYC sucks. #TexasForever
Nah, but Texas has its own weird self-obsessions. I don’t know why residents of a place would be proud it can’t keep a power grid up and running, or of voter suppression, or of limiting reproductive autonomy, or of having a bunch of mostly interchangeable cities and suburbs where you have to drive everywhere, but I guess low cost of living is the most important variable for a lot of people.
Texans aren’t jealous of people on the coasts, just as we’re not jealous of Texans. Two different lifestyles.
Even strip malls could suck less, put the parking behind and put the store on the street, make the streets and intersections walkable and enjoyable.
But in sprawl it’s almost pointless, since serving cars is the only goal, as no one could reasonably walk anywhere anyways. So you get parking lots off of expressways, with strip malls 200 feet off the road.
Most of the time they are so unfriendly or unenjoyable pedestrian experiences you wouldn’t bother walking across the street from one commercial property to the next to hit a 2nd store. You’d get in your car and drive over. Why bother walking down a parking lot to a street barely designed for pedestrians, to cross to another parking lot to walk through.
I assume if you’ve grown up with that and still live in places designed like this, this all seems perfectly normal.

“You can’t buy a 2bd house for less than a million dollars in california? I bought a sixteen bathroom palace with a wing for a private private school in suburban dallas for $300k. You’re a dumb sheep!”- Texas
“Stop moving here!”- Also Texas
45 without traffic. Hour and a half with mild traffic lol
I would imagine it is the opposite of admired
Please don’t move here
The grammar here is weird to the point I'm not sure what's being asked
But no, Texans don't admire New Yorkers
Enthusiast
I had to read it a few times but I think I interpreted its meaning correctly

Lol at this entire thread
People moving from the coasts to Texas are moving to Dallas, Austin or Houston. Most likely moving to a bigger city then they came from. (NYC, LA excluded.) Dallas is pretentious enough that everyone is already looking down their noses at Cali expats.
Rising Star
Well that’s because we’re better than those hippies from California.
I feel this way after I moved from Texas to NYC. It’s like a third world country here comparably.
I love my friends and colleagues still in NYC. And I had a great time working there when I was young. Now I want privacy and a lawn for my kids to play football.

Texans: “this idiot needs to learn how to drive.”
*glances at license plate*
Texans: “oh they’re from _______. That explains why they can’t drive worth a s**t.”
Other than that, no one literally cares that you think NYC or LA is better. Texas is the closest thing to heaven according to Texans. Good luck convincing otherwise.
Enthusiast
Agreed, but doesn’t change the fact that Texans > everyone at everything (at least in their eyes)
I have a feeling OP hasn’t left Manhattan or Los Angeles much.
This sums up Texas.
I spent 11 years there. Only city I’d move back to is Houston
