Auto / truck. $70k for a Lariat or similar. Up to six figures for a diesel or luxury model. These are not BMWs. Unsustainable.

What’s up with all those houses on postage-stamp size lots? You could stand between them and touch a house with each hand.

Yikes.

Haven’t seen a homeless person since the last time I went to Lake Charles. Truly peaceful living over here.

Texas Housing Crash

Hell of a time to move there and buy then. When it comes back, you're set.

Correction will never happen unless dramatic population decrease happens.

And that will bring a whole host of shite with it.

Yea you can get into Louisiana for the day and don’t have to spend the night! But the real question is…where the hell did you get 3 acres in The Woodlands? You In Magnolia or Cartel Woods or something?

I'd love a little collapse for my taxes. I bought in 2019 and refinanced at 2.8 in 2020. My house value has almost doubled. The Texans complex moving into the neighborhood won't help decrease my taxes either.

It was bound to happen. Basic economics 101.

Anyone with a basic freshman level understanding of economics knows putting all your wealth into the equity of your house is a very foolish decision.

People will really start to tense up if the stock market drops 10-15%.

Finally the younger generation can afford to purchase a home. Frankly, Texas was already one of the least overpriced markets.

either way, i'll happily re-finance if / when interest rates drop.


That's where I am.

Housing prices are bananas right now. I've been in my house since 2013 and the value has really jumped. That would be great if I was selling. But I'm not. Instead, I'm just paying outrageous property taxes. My interest rate isn't terrible, but if I can save two points, I'll refinance.

You claimed Houston, Dallas, and Austin have no culture. I pointed out the museums, universities, sports, music, restaurants, historic neighborhoods, festivals, and performing arts.

Your response is essentially, “Other states have some of those things too.”

I never said they didn't. Did I?

That does not prove Texas cities lack culture. It just proves you moved the goalposts after your original claim fell apart.

Which is it? Texas doesn't have any culture or doesn't have a distinct enough culture for random internet poster JasonDBLaha?

“Arguably the best BBQ in the world” is the part you chose to mock?

Okay, let's dive into that.
Texas barbecue is a methodology, not a condiment like elswhere. You can prefer another regional style, but acting like Texas barbecue is just local homerism tells me you do not understand what makes it distinct in the first place. (which seems to be a reoccuring habit of yours)

Can't change the climate there, but if you can't find what you want in Texas, you're just lazy. All of it is there, somewhere.
