fine women /thread

Short answer is that Texas sucks at everything they’re proud of... but it’s a pretty neat - and dare I say underrated - place.
Just one example, El Paso is a bad arse city with great architecute. Alsothe fact that Juarez is a walk away is a plus, not a minus. Juarez rules. I had a fantastic night on the town there Tuesday evening. Had a margarita at the bar where the margarita was invented. Wonderful people. While you sit on your couch listening to how crappy it is on your favorite cable news chanel, I’m eating and drinking fine food there for 1/3 of what you’d pay here while chilling with some of the kindest and coolest people.
Big bend is the bomb, so are all the funky cool small towns around it (terlingua, marfa, alpine, marathon)

A bunch of people on my dad's side of the family live in Dallas. My wife's aunt lives in Houston. Her sister used to live in Houston. Me and my wife lived in Austin for a while.
Infrastructure is top-notch. Roads and highways Parks, schools, all great. The only shite thing about the infrastructure there is the fricking toll roads. For a state that takes in as much property tax and sales tax as Texas does the road shouldn't cost you anything they should already be paid for.
Jobs. It's ridiculous. If you can't get a job in Texas within a week you're doing something wrong. I've never seen anything like it. It's literally jobs on demand.
The housing is cheap but the property taxes are outrageous and the houses are builder-grade track housing junk. There are very few established neighborhoods it's mostly gated communities and mcmansions. There's not a large inventory of historic neighborhoods. The strip malls are disgusting and everywhere.
Land values are awesome. It's really cheap per acre to buy land in Texas. That's part of the reason developers have taken over and salivate oh, so that's a double-edged sword. If you want to buy a large plot of land on the cheap, Texas is the place to be
The state is really big so the geography is extremely varied. The southeast part of the state which is anchored by Houston it's a lot like south Louisiana. It's mostly flat with a lot of rivers and thick pinewoods mixed with some hardwood stands. The northeastern part is basically rolling dry Hills with very few trees and very little rain. That area is anchored by Dallas. The northern part of the state anchored by Lubbock is just flat ugly plains. West Texas is Southwest As It Gets. Desert, scrub, steppes, Mountain. The real gem in Texas geography it central Texas, Hill Country. This area is absolutely gorgeous. It's anchored by Austin and lays on a fault line. Reminds me of California. Beautiful Rolling Hills. Walkable Woods. Dry and windy but Lush and green for the most part. Looks a lot like Napa Valley.
The people. The people they are great. I'm talking about the true Texans not all the transplants from other parts of the country. And there are a lot of those. Stay away from them. They suck. The true locals, the tejanos, those are some of the best people in the country. People in Texas can be prideful and stubborn but they're rarely arrogant or rude. They are smart enough to get by and they have great attitude.

Had to spend a few days in Freeport for work and my coworker and I were so happy to be back home in Louisiana. City full of rude, weird people.

You think Texas is flat?

California's economy would not be sustainable if they left the US. They are in debt now.

DFW, as big as it is, isn't all that representative.
