South has its CHEAP solution and some job opportunities in CERTAIN sectors..Not everybody is looking for that..

In a perfect situation, with a decent job and when money is not a problem, I would never live in Texas--TOOO HOTTTTTTTTTTTTTTt and  its neighboring southern state, most of them are not even driveable forget about being liveable..

But, that doesn't mean there isnt anybody who can't make the most out of Texas or the southern states in general..its what floats ur boat and my boat just doesnt float around a bunch of uneducated hicks..with hot and humid weather...sure they talk about GOD and all but then they elect someone like GEORGE W.BUSH..

I stop right there!!

God bless you people in Texas and elsewhere in the SOUTH, glad it works for you all...a cheap solution for students...May be...!! Standard of living once you are settled in life? Not so amicable.

It can be  temporary solution but not a permanent one for me...I would rather live in 4 months of  heavy snow in Minnesota than 8 months of humid & HOT weather of Texas...
