I am planning on moving soon and I only considered moving to states that are solidly liberal.
I know that.
Still they think that for them it's a better place than Chicago which is pretty much hell on Earth if you believe Fox News.John Rabbit

Ugh damnit my reading comprehension sucks.
Austin's pretty cool. I've never lived in California, but people I know that have compare Austin to a Californian city.

I'd say Austin is fairly expansive if you plan to love in the city. But coming from California you might be fine.
Those quotes you linked are from two different people though.
Texas mayor is striving to break the habit of people holing up in secular bubbles(though potentially more concerned that this may help shift the state to blue), other quote is from CA guy essentially saying fuck these libtards, I want to be around other assholes!
Edit: Notice you realized your error and changed your post while I was typing this.

As long as it's I'm not spending much more than $1k/mo for a 1br apartment I should be ok. Right now I'm paying $1900/mo and it's suffering.

Austin and Colorado Springs are both considerably worse than the California average. Better than trying to get a house like inside the city limits of San Francisco or San Diego, but almost everywhere else is a better place to live if that's your goal. And to make it worse, the average salary is less (since the state overall is cheaper, even if those specific cities are not). As well, while most cities' prices are still down over the past decade, Austin has grown 40% and continues to rise.
Basically, you'd be a fool to move to either of those places if your incentive was affordability.
I mean, Ted isn't exactly a popular guy even in his home state and his vote for the BCRA likely won't aid him. That aside, a poll earlier this year suggested Ted's re-election isn't guaranteed so i'm curious as to how this would affect his chances.

I honestly don't blame him for taking his family out of San Bernardino. That place is a fucking hellhole, and is completely surrounded by hellholes (Moreno Valley, Hemet, San Jacinto, Perris). The only IE safe havens still left are down in Murrieta and Temecula. The coastal elites are doing well, as always, but he isn't wrong when he says the inland blue collar workers along with the central valley are struggling.

I like how the legalization of pot is keeping this guy from being able to "raise a family."
Run to Texas, snowflakes. I hope you melt.

Omg that pic is down the street from me. Lol
Not a day that goes by that I don't see a CA license plate. I'm always bitching about it. People are moving out here because of the jobs and not conservative views. Plano area has so much growth especially with the Toyota HQ, and the Cowboy training center. I want people to stay away. Traffic is becoming a bitch.

He's going to be really upset by all the easily accessible pot in Texas.
The Drug War may as well be renamed Black Market and CIA off book funding enablement laws.

Again if you plan to live dead square in the city get ready to pay between 1000-1500. Houston isn't as expensive and that's the average cost you can expect for a 1 bedroom apartment. Higher end is for more expensive apartments.
If you don't mind living in the outskirts you could likely find apartments in the 800-1200 range easily.

Whataburger sucks ass. Give the. Canes chicken. That is the good stuff.
Please leave.

Appropriate name. Raising canes is great and all, but they serve specifically chicken tenders.

Oh man I forgot about Canes. I haven't had it since I was in Ohio, but I miss their food so bad.
Not so sure about Whataburger tho. I've only had it once, but I remember it at least being in the same tier as In n Out.

I'm leaving California because of rent and house prices, but I sure as shit am not going to Texas. Back to home blue state of Illinois. Hopefully, Rauner will be gone by the time I go back.

That bubble analogy is interesting because me and some of my more liberal friends that used to live in McKinney used to describe McKinney as a bubble. A lot of the younger people I grew up with had no idea how the world worked outside of McKinney and just based all their political views on what mommy and daddy told them.

Moving to an area because the area aligns with your political party and/or ideology is an incredibly short signed decision. Then again, he could be one of those people whos trying to move to a "whites-only" community.

I mean rural conservative areas stay conservative because most liberals move to more liberal areas, so this is a similar situation.
Isn't that available in every state except Hawaii?

Most of those Hispanics try to be just as bad as the white folks. Kiss white ass, be as racist. Don't let these numbers fool you about the majority. They'll keep doing the same thing it's just now they're a little browner or just as white.

If only the thought process actually went that far. It never seemed occur to a lot of them that they were lucky to have families that could help them out financially. The amount of times I've tried explaining to people from there that not everyone has the time and money to go to college is insane.
There are plenty of super rich exclusive areas on Oahu which are primarily occupied by wealthy white people.
I stand corrected.

Booming here, especially in 'Springs and Denver. Colorado Springs is conservative derpistan. Much cheaper in 'Springs compared to Denver, almost by half.

Conservatives, by definition, live in a bubble. They have an insular, homogenous culture and ways of thinking, especially since most are so knee deep in religion and ethno-centricism.
Also, there is literally like zero diversity in most of these heavily conservative areas.

Texas is full of conservative Hispanics though.

Tell that to those who are hellbent on dividing "the other side" and separating themselves because they're scared of others not like them and scared of ideas that don't mesh with what they've been fed daily from right-wing rage media. Both sidesism is what got us here.
