Yes please don't move to Texas it's terrible. Anybody thinking about Texas you will be much better off in California or New York so please save yourself the misery and stay far away from the state of Texas.

[LisaLynnTx]

Yeah, keep that border open. Lets see how high we can get our crime rate this year.

[Avarnus]

Isn't Texas and Florida most migrated states in last 3 years?

[TDT-]

Truth! I moved here last year from Vegas because the spouse wanted to. It sucks.

[ramzilla]

Didn’t need a study to tell you that. The benefits of the state are more geared towards businesses than the residents.

[x-men-]

No state income tax. I couldn’t ask for more.

[elconquistador]

The people who vote with their feet say otherwise.

[Tito]

Very liberal ranking. Study is so biased.

[stacyt]

Talk to people in California. Oh wait, you cant because someone stole their car with their phone in it. I’m sure if you didn’t ask they/them but instead talked to normal people, the answers would have been much different

[ryanvernatter]

Where the stars at night are big and bright?

[eforde]

Biased. Deep blue New Mexico ranks last in education, highest in crime, worst health care, fewest doctors, most poverty....but tons of abortions.

If you don't love Texas then mind as well pack your belongings and leave go somewhere else

Don't Mess with Texas
