I live in SF and it's certainly far from perfect. California no doubt has its share of problems too.
But as noted in comments below, I would never -- not ever -- consider living in a state run by people like Rick Perry.
- flyt 13y agoTexas isn't really run by Rick Perry, it has a weak governor system. The legislature is the major problem.
- mikeash 13y agoYeah, but he said "people like", and don't most of them qualify?
- jborden13 13y agoYou're in luck - he's leaving next year: http://www.politico.com/story/2013/07/rick-perry-2014-reelection-texas-governor-93829.html http://www.politico.com/story/2013/07/rick-perry-2014-reelec... When should we expect you? Just kidding, you'll be out of the country shortly because he'll be President </sarcasm>
- saryant 13y agoAs noted by another commenter, the governor of Texas has very little power compared to most other governors. The Speaker of the House wields most of the power in Texas.
- jacoblyles 13y agoTexas seems much better managed than California, judging by the news. And it does it without an income tax. Sounds pretty good to me. I'm not bothered by a governor with an accent, as long as he keeps the books balanced, the crime down, and the red tape light.
- brownbat 13y agoAre there a bunch of uplifting stories about Californian, and specifically SFran, governance I'm missing?
- jacoblyles 13y agoIt's my experience with young silicon valley engineers that cultural liberalism is more important that taxes, regulatory burden, budget deficits, business climate, crime, education, and transportation put together.
- muzz 13y agoMy experience in Silicon Valley is that economic opportunity outweighs cultural liberalism. BTW, which are are you referring to when you mention budget deficits and crime?
- jacoblyles 13y agoCalifornia, and especially SF bay area.
- muzz 13y agoWhat budget deficit? And the crime that's multi-decade lows?
