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!
Have you considered having a separate "bug out" property that was more rural and perhaps less developed (eg. basic cabin/shelter instead of a house) than your primary house?
Hmm I have not really considered that.
With the way things are going, I guess I will have to start considering things like this if things continue to get worse.
It's something I've been considering as I do my own search (though not in Texas). A smaller property for your house + a larger undeveloped property for crops/hunting may open up a few more options and/or be cheaper than a larger property for your house.
Though of course this needs to be weighed against your ability to get to that property when you need to. And of course the larger philosophical question of "do you want to make your stand in a location less likely to be attacked but where you may not have friends (or as many of them), or do you want to make your stand in an area which may be a larger target but where you can depend on your community?"
