Oh California has its problems too, I moved away from California after living there for a few years due to the impossibility of affording a home. It’s a beautiful state but the affordability was oppressive, even for high earners. On top of a bunch of other social issues of their own.

Absolutely not here pretending that California is some promised land. Hell, even the state I ended up moving to has its own problems.

It’s just that the problems that Texas does have are untenable for my family.
