re: Why is Southeast Texas such a dump?

Those of us who make decent money don't live in town. I'm in the county but 10 min from 3 boat ramps on the sabine. I have enough money that I don’t have to live in a neighborhood where I can hear the neighbor's ole lady fart before she gets in her car. There's a bunch of people like myself who wouldn't give up what we have to live in a area where people are stacked on top of each other..
