Texas is... OK, but has no real culture to speak of. The tax relief in Texas is not as great as you might be led to believe. Great for businesses (sometimes), not for people. Texas has some of the highest property taxes in the country despite cheaper housing. Texas is hot 9 months of the year, has no real seasons, has hideous politics (even in "Let's keep it weird" Austin"), low-grade food choices, laughable night life (6th Street. Really?), immigration nightmares, cannot walk anywhere, must have a car, a largely uneducated populace, rednecks galore, the notion of brisket as real food and not dog fodder, did I mention the heat? There are far better options for just as little money that offer culture, more fun, safer living, you name it.
