The problem with all of your commentary is that the Liberals would want to own the coast of California. Where you live is important. I was born in San Francisco in 1940, and have lived here all my life. I see no reason why a bunch of Liberal schmucks should be able to take this state out of the union and displace probably 40% of those of us here in CA. For me, Texas would be an unacceptable place to live for many reasons, with weather at the top of the list. Again, it simply ties with your life-long preferences.
I see your point on that-I’m sure the liberal ass***s would want to lay claim to the coast-and all the other primo income producing areas-and while the Texas coast around the Valley/Brownsville area has very nice Summer weather, it is hotter than where you are-and the winters are colder and last longer than SanFran ones-snow once or twice a winter is not uncommon on the coast.
You would not like it where I am-much farther north-it will be 25 by Sunday, and we will likely see at least some snow flurries-that happens several times most winters. I love remote places like this, being brought up on a ranch in a remote area not far from here, so living without a bunch of conveniences or comforts is quite normal to me-it is my comfort zone-I’d probably enjoy the Alaskan Bush if it wasn’t for the 6 month winter at 30 below 0, without sunshine...
