First of all property taxes on that 230K home in texas will run you around 8-9K a year...while in Denham Springs they would be less than 2K....so there's that.
Second, don't be so quick to dig on Watson or other communities like it. Live Oak Schools are every bit as good (especially demographics) when compared to these schools on the outskirts of Austin. I haven't checked the test scores of each but that doesn't necessarily tell the whole story. Zachary has the best test scores in the state and with the recent demographic changes there I would be hesitant to head in that direction.
I'm sure that your rebuttal will touch on the lack of income taxes here but unless your household income is greater than 150k a year the Louisiana route is cheaper..
Basically, Louisiana housing is more affordable for the lower income worker when property taxes are also considered.
Lastly, you mentioned "cookie cutter" neighborhoods in Watson....what's funny is the houses you just put up in those links are the definition of cookie cutter....pressboard cabinets with carpet/tile floors in that price range bud.
nice rebuttal
