Texas and Oregon are starting to look pretty nice. Too bad about the cannabis laws in Texas, though. As soon as I persuade the court to terminate my probation I'll consider selling a few properties and getting out of here, too.
- irrational 9y agoOregon sucks. Don't move here, I mean there. But, Texas is very nice.
- AcerbicZero 9y agoCan confirm. Oregon is terrible, and I've heard it's entirely full now anyway.
- wpasc 9y agoLol, Oregon is full?
- RosanaAnaDana 9y agoFull of hippies. And rain. Unless you are in the east. Then its super-rednecks, dust, and meth.
- HillaryBriss 9y agothere are only about 4 million people in the entire state of Oregon. that's less than half the population of Los Angeles County alone. and Oregon covers an area approximately 25 times as large as Los Angeles County.
- DrScump 9y agoCan confirm. I drove through eastern Oregon last summer. I also got killed. Twice. Then I took the CA plates off the car. It's a horrible place; stay out.
- Casseres 9y agoTexan here. We welcome y'all with open arms, just please don't turn Texas into the places that you left.
- fein 9y agoAustin is already on the path of SV. Perhaps you can keep Austin a containment zone for SF outcasts and the rest of Texas will be left alone. City folk usually aren't fond of sprawling rural areas, so you have that going for you.
- inetknght 9y ago> Perhaps you can keep Austin a containment zone for SF outcasts and the rest of Texas will be left alone. They're definitely more pronounced in Austin. But, (in my opinion: un-)fortunately, both Houston and Dallas are feeling the effects too.

- tachyoff 9y agoThat depends on how you figure. Do you mean socially? Legally? Business-wise? There are a lot of complex forces at play to make Silicon Valley the way it is (including history). I don’t think it’s fair to tell any group not to “make” some city like their previous one. Furthermore, one nice thing about the American melting pot is everyone gets a voice. If enough people move to Texas and change its culture, that’s just something you have to deal with (or move, I suppose).
- commandlinefan 9y agoHe mentioned marijuana, though. I can easily see all 49 other states legalizing pot with Texas being the sole remaining hold out. For the next 100 years.
- tachyoff 9y agoThat would make its way to the Supreme Court well before that, don’t worry. Then it’ll either be legal everywhere or illegal everywhere. #federalism
- sremani 9y agoI went to Ft.Worth downtown few years ago, there is this place called.. Hell's Half-acre https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hell%27s_Half_Acre_(Fort_Worth) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hell%27s_Half_Acre_(Fort_Worth... I would not be surprised Texas to have legal gambling and liberal MJ laws in the next 20 years.
- triviatise 9y agoJust be aware we are awash in guns. We have open carry, suppressors, full auto, no magazine capacity limits. There are AR15s everywhere. The state has overridden cities' ability to regulate shooting on large properties (over 10 acres). If you are anti gun you definitely wont like it.
