Do you think if a person moves to Texas from the west coast or New York, then that person is being admired to by Texans, because everything is so much more upscale, trendy and classy there?

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.

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.

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.

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.
