This is a capitalist county. He or she with the most capital has the most influence. If you want more say, get busy and make more capital ! That's the great thing about this country, you have the right and opportunity to work as hard as you want to have as much as you want . Dont sit on the couch and cry about the people that made theirs, go make yours !
All the major cities in Texas voted BLUE in the 2016 election except for Amarillo (God bless you people!) If it's "urban" it's liberal.
Thankfully the rural and suburban folks were able to outweigh the major population centers. Please note the BLUE areas and what they border. Hmmm...
Unfortunately, there are many states where there are not enough 'other' people to counter the big, dominant city vote. Eastern WA gets dictated to by the I-5 corridor cities (Seattle/Tacoma/Olympia). All of CO gets to live as Denver and the surrounding-attached cities dictate. Colorado Springs used to provide some of a counter-balance to that, but not anymore. NM is driven purely by Albuquerque and Santa Fe and those towns are now solidly blue. (NM has always been a 'Democrat' state, but they were southern, conservative-type Democrats who could be confused with Republicans anywhere else...but not anymore
)
Texas CAN survive but we need PRO-GUN people to move here from their 'over-run' communist states and VOTE PRO-GUN. Not 'save the environment'. Not 'protect the unions'. Not 'free-education'. Not 'Medicare for all'. PRO-GUN. Once we send the politicians the message that gun control is NOT A WINNING STRATEGY, only THEN can we debate and vote on the other issues. Vote freedom first. Once we beat that into the politicians heads, then we can debate the 'other things'.

Dont blame the developer. He or she is exercising the one big right that separates us from the rest of the world ! I bet those developers didnt spend their dollars to build those houses or shopping malls, etc without someone wanting to buy it from them. Blame tourism or whatever created the need for the development.

I hear people talk about Montana, South Dakota, Idaho, Wyomong. Places along our Northern Border are Beautiful. To me the biggest problem there is SUB ZERO winter temps. Living in the South, Hurricanes and Tornados. Nice home one day trash the next. Here in Nevada we have a rare Earthquake. A little shake and it's over. The Sierra's provide a buffer from major Pacific Storms
Temps in my are generally range between 10 and an occasional 100 degrees. I heard that in the Early 2000's that Reno had a 3 foot snow fall one day. The Northern areas of Nevada areas get snow, rain and sunshine. If you want to live in the Forest, there are areas that the homes are interspread amoung tall pines just out of Reno. The people outside Reno and Vegas thank me for my Service. I lived on CA for 65 years and hardly a soul ever thanked me for my service while there. There's no High Humidity here, no Hurricanes, no Tornados, minimal Earthquakes. I've lived in GA, KY, TN, MD, LA. Korea and Vietnam while in the Service plus stationed at Fort Ord and on TDY to Camp Roberts and HLMR in Central CA. I've been around the US and so far, Nevada beats them all. Great big Game hunting. Trout fishing from Stocked Rainbows to monster Browns in the Truckee River and the 30+ pound Lahoten Cutthroat from Pyramid Lake. That's around an hour from here. There is also a lake chock full of Walleye just off I-80. Like skiing or Snowboarding, some of the finest Ski Slopes are within an hour or less. Right now I can see Mt. Rose Ski area with snow still falling yesterday on the Slopes. Name anywhere that's available the doesn't freeze solid in winter or sweat you silly with temp and humidity runnin in the high 90's. I've not regretted moving here in any way. I was in Montana Trout Fishing in 2005 and in the Gunships there, they literally hated people from California. Californian sold properties in CA and the overpaid for land in Montana driving their property taxes sky high. Besides making it nearly impossible for many to even think about buying. So my entry to where to go is where I'm now from. On one part of my family, I had a Great Uncle that listed in the Indio City Museum that says he, David Elgin, was the first white child born in Indio, CA.

That koolaid is full of artificial sweeteners.

At least when it's the North Korea model...
It's the same in nature as in capitalism, the strong survive. We can't curse those that flourish through freedom AND curse governmental control over our lives . It has to be one or the other, or we are just as hypocritical as the libs opening boarders while living behind their high fence.

No game=no hunting
No hunting = no life (I don't play video games)
I just got my 9yo to give up video games (for a few hours) by getting a compressor for my .22 PCP rifle. Now, the first thing he does when he gets home is hunt the green iguanas.

Regardless of some of the comments in here you live in the good old U.S.A. so you are free to move anywhere you want,
I would definitely consider somewhere in the Pacific Northwest. But I hate to hear that some of these anti states are pushing out good people.
Anyone who can stand there ground is to be commended ....
Recall that the powerful lords always organized the system to keep them on top. There isn't a lot of space at the top, just like there can't be more tigers than deer. It's the same now, just more sophisticated.
I'm sorry, I can't buy that one. It's a good excuse to not push yourself and strive for the American dream though.
Sounds vaguely familiar to the story line pushed by the left in order to discourage people into giving up and letting them take control of our system.

Standing Ground: For several reasons, my wife and I, both retired, have chosen to stay in California. After many years in and near San Francisco, we moved to the Sacramento suburbs. After growing up in Illinois and Wisconsin (20F below, etc.) and she in Seattle, we now enjoy dry-heat 100f+ summers. We like it. We also have nearby a first-rate huge range near Ione. Sacramento is liberal, but not yet as bad as the SF Bay Area. And here is some reason for optimism:
After being a very qualified shooter for decades, I now finally have a Sac County CCW, something formerly near impossible in California urban areas. We have a 2nd Amendment Sheriff and a Sac County DA who helped push DNA to where once-safe serial killers are being exposed weekly. We got this by VOTING! Don't despair or give up.
