Anyway, soooo many of these gals had just moved to Texas. I deleted the whole thing.

I was scheduled for 72 hours of work at our new Dallas HQ a couple years back. On day 3 and my flight a couple hours out my boss told me I had to stay an additional week & a half to tie up loose ends with some outstanding contractor work. I got to my hotel room that night, drank 3/4s a bottle of Vodka and bawled my eyes out. Dallas was such a poo poo hole city of fat, slow, redneck motherfuckers. I can't imagine the rest of the state is any better.

trip report: i was in austin yesterday and dallas a couple days before that. ate some good tacos at the torchy's in waco between. they have a special right now called the tokyo drifter, its got teriyaki pulled pork and some kind of sriracha mayo. when i was in dallas it seemed like a lot more people than usual were driving huge muscle cars and motorcycles and f150s and constantly racing each other in a bunch of different neighborhoods. but then i realized wrestlemania was in town that weekend. the second night i was there there was a tornado watch, but all i saw was some rain.

Lived in Texas for about 10 years Houston is pretty cool but run by a steady stream of complete loving dumbasses and in true texan fashion will never admit they're wrong about how brutally terrible the public transportation is and the people there just completely buy into the "aw shucks, guess things literally can't get better," so when you point out that other cities have been doing that kind of poo poo for generations, they look at you like Dr. Steve Brule Austin is completely overrated but has some nice parts San Antonio is pretty loving chill, good food, good bars, bit more relaxed Dallas is one of the blandest cities in the us. Beyond the obvious points of a dead president, it is culturally and historically irrelevant and is a black hole of culture in general and yet people there think anyone gives a gently caress about Dallas, which is hilarious because, well guys, it's Dallas lmao Also, having parts of your city being used as a stand-in for dystopian Detroit in robocop probably isn't a good thing* *I'm aware they used Houston in the sequels but they don't have quite the same bug up their asses about their relevance

maybe it was the particular time i was there, houston has one of the most soulless and empty downtown areas of any major american city. im sure there are neighborhoods out there in the sprawl where something is happening, but the downtown part of it mostly feels like a bunch of huge generic corporate towers designed by algorithms. barely any people out at all. the lobby of the hotel where i was staying had a security robot. definitely felt like a weird dystopia dallas is similar but at least deep ellum is ok and even the bland downtown area at least has human beings out and walking around going to work and stuff

Yeah downtown Houston has absolutely nothing going on, the way the city developed it was bizarre, there's just not too many actual businesses so it becomes an absolute ghost town when there's nobody at work I lived in midtown for years and I was usually around there, Montrose, and a few other nearby neighborhoods but just never went downtown unless it was for concerts or Aeros games (rip, that city should still have an nhl team imo)

Also another thing about Houston is they have no zoning laws. None. What to build a housing development in a flood plane? Go right ahead. A chemical factory next to an apartment building? Sure. Want to build a huge parking structure in a residential neighborhood? Hell yeah.

Lived in Texas for almost 4 years in the Austin area. It's... ok I guess? Just not for me. Weird that California lives rent-free in some Texans' heads because I never really heard of Texas that much when I lived in LA or SF. But here? Boy Howdy. Mention California to some folks and they spin off into a rant. "Well if you don't like it, move back to California" Uh, yeah ok I will. Also LOL @ cheap taxes. Everything is dogpiled on suburban sky high property taxes since all the small towns pay squat, anyone in industry pays squat, and farmers and anyone rural finds a way to grab an AG exemption and pays nothing yet somehow the Republicans are running this year on a platform of reducing property taxes.  Zil posted:Also another thing about Houston is they have no zoning laws. None. Cedar Park, TX has a mining quarry that has blasting operations that go off twice a week, even with those monster dump trucks. The thing is, its surrounded by subdivisions. People new to the area move in and are surprised by the shaking earth and explosions a few times each week. I had a realtor advise me to avoid certain neighborhoods near that area for that reason. Other than that its an ok suburb. At least compared to Leander, TX, the worst example of a bedroom community. 98% subdivisions, no other real services other than a few strip malls. No stadium, no hospital, just wall-to-wall housing sprawl. Good thing they are right next to Cedar Park where residents can get medical services and real shopping done. The ex-mayor, Troy Hill, who was voted out last year was a turbo-chud, his grand scheme was this: https://www.statesman.com/story/news/local/2020/10/15/leander-announces-proposed-1-billion-mixed-use-development-featuring-lagoon/114404806/ Which was to build an artificial lake/beach around a new proposed mall. Except they didn't plan out the water/flood management that well. The local lakes and water management people were like "no way we are giving you water to do this" and their plan, to obtain the huge amount of water to maintain this thing was to .. no poo poo.... built a monorail. A monorail that zips to the Gulf of Mexico to transport water via giant balloons to central Texas. Screenshot from the power point shown to Leander council: https://www.instagram.com/p/CHitL-ZFzLf/ This video was shown to the city council. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t03q3Tv4PzE The new Mayor mentioned stuff like this during her campaign and won. She answered a few questions on reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/Leander/comments/n3qo1n/comment/gwvfv77/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3 In the end, the winter storm doomed Troy Hill. Leander didn't invest in their water system, and while neighboring cities had backup generators for their water systems, Leander did not and residents went weeks with no water or boiling water right before the election. If you had a $500-1M home with no water, you weren't a happy camper, especially when the folks down the block had no problems with clean water during the winter storm. /edit I'd probably would have liked San Antonio or El Paso if I lived in those areas.. :/ Oh well .

It is closely surrounded by a neighborhood right on the outskirts of the inner loop and the area routinely smells like a loving grease trap lmao

There's a town outside of Galveston that bears the name of the state, Texas City. It's home to a lot of refineries and perpetually smells like a rancid fart. The locals call it Texas lovely.
