Why do people love this state so much?

-weather sucks
-other than a few select areas, the landscape pretty mediocre at best; downright shitty in most places
-no good beaches (with all that coast)
-southern part of the state is a war zone for illegals and drug trafficking
-home to the world's most hated football team

Someone's going to say:
No state income tax but you pay for it in property taxes, so that's a wash
Lake Travis but other states have places like this (lake havasu, lake of the Ozarks)
Great schools but also this isn't the only state with great public schools


The only answer I can think of is: BBQ

Most states would kill for a city like Dallas, Austin, Houston, or San Antonio.

Diversified Economy on top of all the O&G money is the only positive I can think of

Well many people on here are originally from Louisiana. Living in Texas gives them the chance to enjoy the benefits of the state and still be relatively close to family back in LA.

Diverse economy , always updating road systems, not completely tied to oil and gas, can still hunt here, can cheer for 7 different professional teams, can make a shite ton of money, schools legit, no culcha in a majority of suburban areas, and that's all I can come up with at the moment.

You could say that about any state. Let's say Louisiana. Weather sucks, very little landscape, no beaches, any city over 10k is a warzone, home to worlds shittiest politicians, terrible schools, no pretty lakes, state income tax and shitty properties.

Seafood is the only thing I can come up with.

Texas is the most overrated state BY FAR. There is no close second.

Other than the pro sports teams, sounds like Colorado to me just uglier

Well yeah, but everybody knows Louisiana sucks. Texas somehow has a reputation as being a top tier state.

bc the good parts of houston/dallas take a dump on new orleans good parts. We dont allow culcha to spill over into the parts normal people go to in our state.
