A lot of people don't get it, but this is Texas urban culture in general (that is, the majority of the state). The low cost of living meant lots of immigration.

A lot of people don't get it, but this is Texas urban culture in general (that is, the majority of the state). The low cost of living meant lots of immigration. We're nearly majority minority. If you had an ego or resources, you'd probably go somewhere else. People live and build here because of practicality above all. It's a great and unique culture and it makes me very sad to see how misunderstood and disparaged it often is various places. So many of these snide remarks are from people that have never actually lived here. Value them accordingly. We'll still take the future.
