Have you been to Texas? We like it here.


[flagged]


Houston, Texas is often described as the most diverse city in the US, for example https://www.latimes.com/nation/la-na-houston-diversity-2017-....


And people in Houston said they like it in Texas? The point is that the urban population pretty much hates it there given the new laws.

They voted with their feet.


When it comes to state or federal politics, voting with your feet is not really feasible, since many people are not able to move based on political whim. Jobs, family, housing, all tend to create a lot of friction to moving. I didn't like any of the previous presidential administration's policies, yet moving out of the country was not a feasible option.


Heard of this big word called gerrymandering? Its when politicians do hijinks to ensure that voting with ones feet becomes more and more ineffective for people that don't support said politicians.


Haha, yeah, and Fremont is the “Happiest City to Live In”. People aren’t moving all across the world to be happy in Fremont weirdly.


You're being sarcastic of course. However Houston is ~46% Hispanic. If you were Hispanic and wanted to live in a heavily Hispanic city in the US, that is also relatively nice, relatively safe, and economically thriving, Houston is a tremendous choice.

So why not?


I think the commenter's comparison may be more to East Texas than Dallas, Austin, or Houston
