also plano kind of sucks poo poo. if your company wants to move you there, thats fine, but don't actually live in plano

It sounds like what Kansas did a few years ago. Basically pay businesses to move there, but whoops now they have no money to make it a place anybody would want to live so businesses that have operations there are struggling to find people who actually want to live in loving "soon to be first failed state" Kansas

I just lived in Texas for three years and I gotta say, gently caress Texas

it's like a microcosm of everything wrong with the US, especially the part where it's too proud and special to fix its poo poo

literally any non-Southern state is better than Texas

I have to interject and say that far far West Texas is more like New Mexico than "real" Texas. We have very few of those imbeciles driving around with rifle and shotgun racks in their gigantic pickups and losers with cowboy boots and hats and gigantic belt buckles. And people are far less racist because the population is largely Hispanic.

Servers will still ask "what kind?" when you ask for a Coke so it's still got that going for it though.

Is it one of those things where brainwashed inland deplorables are moving to what they have convinced themselves is a wonderful utopia of conservative freedom and obviously way more success and more jobs, or is it a mix of people who just want lower rent and haven't yet processed what that may mean if you're moving to texas to find it

if it's anything like the influx of middle-class people that swarmed kansas city about 5-7 years ago 80% of them are just mostly there because their company moved away from the overpriced hellhole that is the bay area and they're along for the ride.

they gently caress up the economic basics for a little bit in terms of higher rent and access to food, and if they're lucky they effect the political makeup of the area a little, but in general things revert back to a comfortable baseline within a few years and a year or two after that more luxury goods and services show up to suit the denser and typically more affluent population.

Houston is a giant swamp and Dallas is a soulless sprawling flat hellhole with inauthentic food and suburban strip malls everywhere. Austin is cool and close to the prettier hill country, but is also crowded as poo poo and insufferable.

And I'm probably moving from Dallas to the Austin area in a few months lol.
here's a fun fact: once you're in round rock, you won't think of yourself as living in the Austin area, because it's such a nightmare to do anything in Austin coming from up there

(because Austin is a lovely city that has refused to do infrastructure upgrades for the past 30 years, because Texas)

i'm not aware of companies flocking to kansas, per se. they flocked to kansas city due to google fiber, and KC straddles state lines. there are two kansas cities; KC, Missouri and KC, Kansas. KC Missouri is by far the larger of the two. KC has actually generally prospered as the rest of Kansas itself has gone to hell; populations in Topeka and Wichita are down or flat while populations in KC are up.
