The problem is that most of the people moving here from Texas lately are coming from Travis County so not really any better than Californians.

Ah, makes sense.

Say what you want about Texans but they do value their freedoms and liberties and are pretty intolerant of those that would try and infringe on their rights.

I've been told Colorado was full of Texans in the 80's until the oil bust and they all mostly left.

When I came here in 92 the commercial vacancy rate was insanely high.

A LOT of roofers here are from Texas, and Minnesota.

See all of those brake lights on the approach? I hated it. People slowing down for no reason other than they were going to drive in the shade for a short bit.

I moved here from TX in 94. This place is moving far away from when I came here. It's just a matter of time before I can make my escape.

Let's hope TX won't go the way of CO in a few years, it's the national trend to have major urban areas control the entire state, and I'm afraid TX is a hot spot of that happening.

And if we're talking about wishing that more conservative people would move here, then wish granted.

You might make the case that they're more socially conservative. But politically and economically most of them are big government socialists that will vote overwhelmingly for Democrats.
