It's about quality of life, not relative income. I used these two states as examples because I've spent a lot of time and have a lot of friends in both. In Texas, a middle class income sets you up with a decent house, in a decent hood, with a decent school district, and a fairly low stress life. You mix with others from random walks of life. In California, it feels like you spend every dollar just to survive, and you tend to associate with a narrower spectrum of peers.
- tzs 11y agoIs it actually possible to have a "decent school district" in Texas after what the Texas State Board of Education has done to the history textbooks? McCarthy's blacklists were justified because of widespread Communist infiltration? Slavery was just a side issue in the Civil War? No mention of Jim Crow or the Ku Klux Klan? Four major thinkers who greatly influenced the Founding Fathers were Locke, Montesquieu, Blackstone, and Moses? Science doesn't really fare well with the Texas State Board of Education, either.
