Interesting.  I like the idea, a bit . . .

Real Estate Website Urges Conservatives To Buy Texas Homes

MCKINNEY (CBSDFW.COM) – Move to Texas for the great schools, the good jobs and the low crime. But also, a new web company pitches, move because you’re a conservative.

McKinney-based website conservativemove.com is drawing interest from around the country for its focus on moving right-leaning residents from blue states, to the Lone Star state. The website tag line reads “Helping Families Move Right.”

This week, company founder Paul Chabot says the first two homes owned by clients in California will go on the market. Five more clients are actively searching for homes in North Texas. There have been inquiries he said from more than 500 people, in more than 40 states.

“They’re dead serious,” he said of those showing an interest in moving to Texas. “They are absolutely dead serious on doing it.”

Chabot made the move himself with his wife and four children in January. After unsuccessfully running for Congress in California twice, he said the state just didn’t represent him anymore. At a going away party, people expressed a curiosity in making the same move, and the idea was born.

Maybe if I didn't have the ties to upstate NY that I do . . .

North Texas isn't nearly as humid as down near the gulf.  Or in the Midwest, for that matter.  Definitely hot, though.  And not just the women.

I moved here to N. Texas from Southern California, my birth home. I miss the weather but not the insanity.  They had YET ANOTHER TAX take effect, making sales tax in So Cal 9.5% -- they are now tithing to the government just to buy stuff.  Now governor moonbeam wants to take on the Feds, while DEMANDING its money, like California is a dependent country.

They are nuts and I am glad I am here, weather or no.

I've been very close to McKinney in North Texas for 20 years.  You get used to it...mostly; and as others have stated, not nearly as bad as southern coastal areas.  The hottest-humid place I've ever been to is Austin and/or San Antonio (TX)

Moonbeam just pledged to China that Californistan would adhere to the Paris Accord, though I doubt he intended that to include giving a bunch of other countries money, but ya never know how all those other countries will interpret it.  On top of that, their single-payer BS is projected to cost TWICE their existing annual budget for everything else on top of all their existing expenditures...meaning they'd have to triple their revenues just to keep going broke at their present rate.  How is it possible to triple revenues in a state that is already one of the most extortionate in the country?  Beats Hell out of me.

If I am not mistaken, California's budget is based on state retirees getting the shaft instead of a pension.

If I am not mistaken, California's budget is based on state retirees getting the shaft instead of a pension. 

Even if they did, the whole thing can't work.  Screwing the retirees will decrease the direct payments to them but throw a lot of them into other social programs that cost a ton, and they're only one factor in CA's over-obligated budget.  I can't see how the single-payer stuff can possibly work even if they build a wall to keep the productive from leaving that would make the German Democratic Republic and its STASI look like amateurs.
