Eh. No income taxes? After 20 years living in Maryland, I’m tempted to move!

Do Democrats realize that states like Texas need more Democrats to move to them if there is ever going to be a chance of turning them blue? I get that you're just expressing your own opinion, but hopefully other Democrats are more open minded about possible places to live.

There's nothing wrong with the water except that there's not enough of it. Dallas has been trying to pipe water in from East Texas for over a decade and can't make the deal happen.

Is this a post from 2018? Dallas is not that much cheaper - if at all - than DC. Especially with property taxes? Probably going to pay more for the same thing.

I lived in Dallas twice in my tweens/teens and I didn’t like it then when I was clueless about politics etc. DC is a cesspool of politics and people sucking the tits of the government but it actually has some culture and historic value. This is not where I will live long term but it beats Dallas.

Texas is getting closer and closer to that without my personal involvement, thanks.

I got a job offer there 8 months ago and worked with a realtor. Turned it down because a similarly-sized house (especially with no basements, many areas no attached garage either) with a similarly-rated school district had me paying over $2k more in mortgage/property taxes. If you think Texas is an affordable haven you haven’t been in the real world for quite some time, sweetheart.

Real estate seems a lot better priced in Dallas but I worry about the politics and the water supply. Any recommendations on neighborhoods with good schools?

Budget of around $500k for a house.

Which would you pick?

I love the shade thrown at Rockville/Frederick/Columbia lol

On a practical level, how is that different than DC? You’re more comfortable with people illegally carrying weapons and shooting others?

Gun violence in Texas is way higher than in DC, per capita.

Texas ranks 26th in gun violence per capital. MD and VA are 33 and 34. It’s not that different.
