The lack of nature and public lands is definitely the biggest flaw of Texas.

I've always wanted to check out Big Bend National Park. Is it overrated or something? I think it's larger than some states.

Big Bend is great but it doesn’t compare to the national parks in California imo

Funny he mentions dishonesty and rudness. California has some of the biggest liars and cheaters in the country. Considering it's filled with a ton of shady foreigners it's scammers galore. While the weather is nice since it's always sunny and barely rains. It's dusty and polluted as hell which causes health hazards since there is nothing to wash away the bad air quality.

It's not the same as out west. I'm in the same boat there's nothing close if you're in Dallas outside of a few trails. I'll probably be moving back sometime soon because I miss it.

Move 5 hours northeast to Northwest Arkansas.

What an arse. News flash Texas is not California.

In his defense, Austin does say it's all these great things, and it's not, and compared to the rest of Texas, the people are rude ... but that's the non-Texans.

However, you're going to whine because you bought a house double the size and the utilities are expensive (no shite, you now have twice the house)

There are a lot of great places in Texas to get outside, he doesn't know what the hell he's talking about. Even right outside of Austin closer to San Marcos and New Braunfels there are little parks where you can canoe and just hang out. It might not be as pretty as California, but it's there. Plus, in Texas ... you gotta drive!!! Pack up that electric car and explore, idiot.

And the reason the schools are good is because they discipline. Ask a teacher from Texas and ask one from Louisiana ... there's a big difference. I don't know any teachers from California, thank god.

How's the Ganja in the Lone Star State? Do Texans smoke American grown herb or do they still import the bricks?

Lulz. Texas comprises nearly 10% of American population and would be a top ten global economy on its own, and you’re asking if it had access to high quality American marijuana?

Goober doesn’t realize Austin isn’t part of Texas

One thing he mentioned in passing that I don't miss about Austin. The scorpions. They would get into the house. Crawl in your shoes. They were the worst. I remember when fire ants first came the scorpions thinned out for a while. Then came back with a vengeance.

I sort of think this article is a troll.

Or the guy was paid by someone who wants to discourage Californians.

I applaud this guy and look forward to sharing more of his work.
