    I got a friend who visited Texas over the summer and loved it, now she wants to move over there. I wonder if it’s actually that bad or maybe it is and she just never saw it.

      “the healthcare in Texas is terrible!”

      “Well I had a friend go to Texas and not visit a hospital or engage with the healthcare system at all, so I don’t know why I’m even typing this comment…”

      I lost power for a week during the winter storm of 2021 when I lived there. They barely have a functional power grid. It’s like a third world country there.

      If you’re white, wealthy, and sterile Texas has excellent healthcare

      She visited for a couple weeks. Living somewhere is very different. Especially if she didn’t leave the blue cities.

        I was completely enamored with Austin when I was there a few months ago. It really is the perfect city for me…not too busy, but a totally walkable and functional downtown.

        Then I realized I’d be in the middle of Texas.
