Texas is returning back to being a Democrat state. I might as well move to Boston where the property taxes are lower and the seafood is better & less expensive.
I retired here in CT despite all of our issues.
One reason was that I did not like the trend in the standard “go to” retirement states.
I did not see most of the Republicans in those states ready or willing to take on the fight against evil for the long term.
In the case of Texas (which we looked at very carefully) it looked like border security and illegal alien invasion were not being fought successfully—which would ultimately leading to a “minority white” state and very high property taxes.
