I don't know anyone in particular directly or anything, but it seems like a lot of people have moved from California to Texas in the last few years. Is there a reason why ？

my friend's sister, my friend's middle school teacher, a friend of my roommate from school, the sister-in-law of a manicurist I went to, my cousin's ex-husband, the mother of a friend from school …

all of them are different races and ages. They're all from different parts of the country, but after two years, I thought Texas ？ again.

If you say it just happened, well isn't that an amazing coincidence ？ 😂.

Real estate prices are low, too.

If you find a job and are looking for a transfer to TX before you move, take the plunge and apply.
You've moved, but you're not ready to settle down if you can't find a job.

They don't have income tax, but they say property tax is expensive. And houses aren't cheap anymore. The information is not old ？.

Real estate is much cheaper than in California, though.

California is another guy who's trying to make a broad statement
I can drive an hour from LA and buy a piece of land the size of a baseball stadium for $20,000.

Give me the name of a place where you can drive an hour from LA and buy a baseball field size lot for $20,000. That's usually within commuting distance. Well, you can buy it in Texas for even less than that.

Thank you all ！ Is there no income tax ？ I never heard of that ！

My friend said that houses are cheap compared to LA and OC but not that cheap anymore $ I just saw a house with a nice pool for 500K.

I was surprised to see a nice house with pool for 500K. I think it depends on the location. Southern California is expensive 🥲.

I ask because I can't find a place where you can drive an hour from LA and buy a baseball field or so of land for $20,000.

I can't find a place on the edge of LA County where you can buy a baseball field-sized lot for $20,000, so give me the name of the place.
I don't think you can say with confidence that there isn't one, anchan.

If it has been developed for residential use, the builder has modified it.
If it is a wasteland, it is cheap because no one has modified it yet.

Live in harmony with coyotes, rattlesnakes, and scorpions.

I moved from California to Texas and back to California again. I don't want to go back again.

In my personal opinion, the houses are cheap, but property tax expensive. The houses are spacious, but they are hard to clean and there are hurricanes and tornadoes in some places, so it costs a lot of money to repair the houses. Public expenses such as car registers are expensive. Japanese goods are expensive. Airline tickets to Japan are expensive. Utilities are expensive. Gasoline is cheap, but there are many toll roads. It takes a long time to drive anywhere. Not many activities unless you belong to a church. Fire ants and mosquitoes are common and it is very hot, so there are not many children in the parks. The Japanese community is small and rumors abound. Meat is cheap and tasty, but eating out is expensive (about $15 for a bad ramen 10 years ago). Many people are politically and religiously biased, and southern hospitality is only on the surface. Medical care is well developed, with a medical center, but the cost of medical care and medicine is high.

I lived in a city, but there may be differences from place to place.
I would not recommend it unless you have a large family and need a big house.

Thanks Texan ！ That was very helpful. My husband is about to be transferred and I'm not sure what to do. I have the right to choose, so I'm just asking. I personally was getting tired of the Japanese-American community here too, but I guess it may be similar no matter where you go. It is hard for me to leave because I have to take my child to a remedial school, but sometimes it is hard to hear rumors and backbiting. I think California is blessed to have a great climate and be able to drive anywhere and get everything, so I'll think it over. Thank you very much for your help.
