My children go to a school that is majority white but has a large number of Asian and Indian students because the school, even though public, is one of the best in the state. Additionally, the Asians and Indians speak very good english--unlike some places where they form there own communities!! My children have many more opportunities for a well rounded life than anything I could provide them in Burlingame, CA. You don't have to be a minority white guy to enjoy your favorite buzzword: diversity.
Square footage make it easier for hobbies and projects...whether it be off road motorcycles, skiing, or science projects that would not fit in a 1000 sq foot Norcal townhome!!
So, maybe living in TX has made me brag a little and become a little Texas-like...I don't mind. Remember--I am not from Texas but after living in many places around the country--it is pretty damn good. I still absolutely love California and Colorado--but I get more than my fill in vacations there.
Your comment visiting lake/mts "...with only a few hour drive.." BS... the traffic is so bad in the bay area, it dictates schedules and makes trips to Santa Cruz and the mts a pain in the ass...who the hell wants to sit in traffic on weekends after sitting in it all week!!!!
The secret is getting out...the property values are rising incredibly fast and I would tell you how kuch my house is worth, but I would not want to brag!!!
By the way...the agricultural exemption keeps my taxes way down and the earlier post about electricity being expensive?????????????????? Cheaper than California!!
By the way...next time you walk down the street in SF w/ your children in tow...what do you tell them about the inebriated bum covered in urine laying on the sidewalk forcing you to walk into the street w/ traffic??? I know...you tell them it is Bush's fault!!
Oh yeah, you have diversity all right in Texas. A couple of months ago, I heard all about it from just about everyone I met while there. Sitting next to me at the bar at the Omni Las Colinas was one of your local Dallas television personalities. She told me all about what a deacon of the church she was, and then as she proceeded to get drunker she started ranting and raving all about the "nigger" influx from hurricane Katrina, the stupid Mexicans, etc...when she finished, the holy gal proceeded to freak some poor guy from Iowa out by ramming her tongue down the poor unsuspecting soul's throat. Praise the Lord indeed!
As far as the bums in San Francisco, guess what? Do a poll of them and you will find that almost all of them are from elsewhere, including Texas! They all move out here because other places have ****ty weather or kick them out. I'm sure you must be in the 30% of lemmings that still support Bush. Texas is probably where most of you live, and no, I don't blame the Texas village idiot for the homeless, there is plenty of blame to spread around for that. Like states that actually put their homeless on a bus to California, Reagan closing all of the mental hospitals out here and releasing them onto the streets, etc.
Traffic here, yes it is bad. I've seen equally worse traffic in both Dallas and Houston, so don't Texas brag too much there! By the way, I noticed that you still vacation in California.
