What? Teslas are EVERYWHERE in DFW. You can't throw a rock without hitting one.Originally Posted by Doctor Amadeus
Also, while I abhore the weather here (blistering hot or freezing cold more of the year than not), Texas has Whataburger, so it wins by a mile.

germans and, given time, german americans were everywhere and they account for ~ 10 % of populace in Texas and Cali; due to overall larger populace in Cali some millions more at the southern west coast than the gulf. Originally Posted by bungeebungee

My understanding was that Tesla wasn't allowed to be sold in Texas, I am sure people can drive them, but my was I didn't think you could buy one. Originally Posted by Delrancho

If California was not so overpopulated, it would be a pretty nice place to live. I think I would prefer to live in northern California.
I hate the Texas climate with the heat and humidity. Hate their politics. I would love a lot of the food in Texas though.

ya, cause of the Texas Franchise Law that says cars can only be sold by franchised dealerships, not by manufacturer owned ones Originally Posted by Doctor Amadeus

what, you thought those California businesses would move and not bring their own people? If Texas had the workforce that met their demands in the first place they would have started there and not just be moving to save on taxes Originally Posted by dippinsawse

That’s not even a contest. CA has legal weed, and the best Mexican street food in America.

@ranzino True enough, as far as it goes. On the other hand, I'd say that the Germans have left a more noticeable mark on Texan culture: http://www.magazineusa.com/us/catalo...spx?cat=320006
With COVID-19 making its impact on our lives, I have decided that I shall hang in there for my remaining days, skip some meals, try to get children to experiment with making henna patterns on their skin, and plant some trees. You know -- live, fast, dye young, and leave a pretty copse. I feel like I may not have that quite right.

California may have nice weather, but the traffic is horrifyingly bad, and there's just plain too many people.
Only visited Texas once long ago, but my advice for California is, find somewhere in the woods of the north.

California is the winner for natural beauty but Texas wins out for affordability.

Cali because closer to the mountains. Can't live without easy access to trekking.

Traffic is bad in California, but Texans are about the shittiest drivers I've ever had the displeasure of driving with. I have an aunt who is a trucker and I meet for dinner at a TA truck stop in SoCal every so again, and she stresses that while traffic is congested in Cali, it beats having pickups brake checking her 18 wheeler and having zero respect for her load, along with any trucker friend she brings.

assuming no financial constraints, CA easily. Less religious / republican stupidity to deal with and better weather

Texas is massive. Only a little bit of the coast ever gets hit by hurricanes about three times every four years. Originally Posted by shadowmatrix

Texas is sooooooo much cheaper than California. Plus the politicians in California are retarded. Shit and drug needled filled streets... GIVE THEM MORE FREE NEEDLES!!!!! Dumbasses.
Austin, San Antonio, and Huston are pretty liberal. I'd argue that El Paso and Dallas swing more liberal than republican. Beto came from El Paso and he's a socialist... Originally Posted by Stormspellz

It's the same story pretty much anywhere: the big cities are filled with Democrats, everywhere else is Republican. Same goes for Texas. Bordertowns with Mexico also tend to be heavily Democrat, although that's pretty much due to illegal immigration (as their party affiliation leans heavily towards Democrat).

I've also found Texans much more tolerant that Californians, despite people's misconceptions about parties and whatnot.“Society is endangered not by the great profligacy of a few, but by the laxity of morals amongst all.”
“It's not an endlessly expanding list of rights — the 'right' to education, the 'right' to health care, the 'right' to food and housing. That's not freedom, that's dependency. Those aren't rights, those are the rations of slavery — hay and a barn for human cattle.”
