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’m not sure I’d make those extrapolations. First, all these transplants are driving up the cost of a home. Not popular with the locals. The political mindsets are pretty different in TX as are life experiences, exposure to a variety of religions, diversity, equity, and inclusion, lgbtq+, etc. Someone from NYC (“city slicker”) or west coast (“granola eating, tree-hugger”) may need to do some extra work rather than assume they’ll be lauded by Texans… I’m saying this as someone who grew up in Dallas, went to school in ATX, and has since lived in NYC and in multiple locations on the west coast since. When I think of TX: It’s a great place to be from and a great place to visit. It’s too traditional in its mindset and too adverse to change for the better of humanity. Plenty of supporting data in 2021 alone… Things to think about for that person moving to TX from NYC or the west coast…🤞🏽

No. Most places in America tend to laugh at CA and NY. I was born in TX and grew up in VA,DC and live in CA now. Each location and it's people are different, like it that way, and can be suspicious of outsiders, especially until they acclimate a bit. Texans, from my understanding, are very local in their thinking and likes and dislikes. After all, smile when you say Texas!

Agree! I went to school in Austin and love it. I grew up outside of Houston and visited family often in Dallas growing up. And have shot there recently a few times. Moving from a city to another city is going to give you a lot of the same headaches though. Especially the driving and traffic and poor public transportation. Yes gas is cheaper but man is there so much driving and sitting in traffic.

lol wtf is this question

like

Absolutely not. The character of a person is much more important to us then where someone came from. Your question is somewhat disappointing in how you seem to value those areas more than Texas but frankly not unexpected. IMHO Texas is the most American of all the states and frankly a great place to live and work.

I grew up in Texas then I moved to NYC after college and now live in the Bay. For a state to is so obsessed with freedom, they love being beholden to HOAs and controlling other people. Besides a few pockets which are usually the gay neighborhoods or the “artsy” neighborhoods (where most of the fun interesting stuff is) the food is mostly chain restaurants. When I visit home it takes a day to get past the “oh wow everything is so new and clean!” And realize how pretty boring and monotonous much of it is. Not to mention the sweltering heat, the unpreparedness for cold and extreme weather) insane traffic and the need to drive everywhere. I think it’s an easy place to settle for an easy, regular, perfect fine life. Especially if you have a family and want space. I’ve personally never felt more “free” and alive than living in NYC. Nothing is impossible there and it’s just buzzing with excitement and energy. I love the convenience of beauty in the Bay which is why we settled here. A short drive to incredible hiking and beautiful parks, woods, beaches, etc. absolutely NYC and CA have awful things about them. But IMO the pros for what I’m looking for outweigh the cons. Here. I’m not ready to be beige quite yet.
