People in my current state are in a complete hysteria over COVID-19 and with how much the powers that be are demonizing those that don't take their experimental jab, I rather not be stuck surrounded by their COVID cult when shit inevitably hits the fan soon.
I have decided to move to Texas since it is a lower cost of living red state where hopefully there will be atleast some decent employers who won't mandate the jab and where hopefully most people are still relatively sane.
I am looking at suburban areas near Dallas/Fort Worth.
I am currently looking at suburbs in places like:
Keller
Azle
Watauga
Northlake
Denton
Anyone have any info about any of these areas and if they are safe and if they have sane right-leaning people?
I really don't want to be surrounded by Branch-Covidian leftists. I already know to stay clear of Austin.
I am also kinda concerned about frequency of tornadoes in these areas since based on what I researched, northern Texas seems to have a lot of tornadoes.
Any thoughts anyone can offer would be appreciated greatly.
Thanks in advance!
Texas has a lot of downsides and I could write a book.
But if it is endless freeway off-ramp burbs you want in the DFW area, there is an infinite supply.
I don't know what you do for a living and if you can WFH, but if that were me I might migrate to the Athens tx area, somewhat more deep-southier; still real, good rainfall and great food without the never ending freeway offramp type of development. Athens TX is a nice place.
I work in tech so I know WFH can be done.
Athens looks like it is a retirement community at least 70 miles away from any major tech hubs where I could find in person work.
Just curious but if you had to list the worst three downsides about Texas, what are they?
You should look at the hill country outside of Austin then. Look at Fredericksburg, Johnson City, Burnet, and Marble Falls. Very conservative and you'll be within driving distance to Austin if you need to drive into work.
