By the way, Scout Bar in Houston is a dope place that always has lots of killer shows coming thru

Congrats on the move, hope it’s all been smooth. Enjoy your new town/home!

[Ostinato Rubato]

Thanks hommies!!!

It’s been busy and a little crazy but in a happy “I made it!!!” kinda way. I can deal with all the settling in madness that comes along with moving a family to a new state with a smile. I’m out of the hellhole L.A. has become. Huge sigh of relief.

Awesome. When wifey and I finally get a night out I’m gonna check it out (hit you up cause I will have forgotten the name by then).

But you know I’m gonna be planning a trip to your neck of the woods now that I’m so close. :*

People honk because they know the guy in front is looking at his phone.

I moved to one of Houston’s southern burbs. We have family nearby, it’s pretty and clean here, people are friendly and polite, the teens aren’t all depressed and miserable, affordable housing, lots of jobs, and this school district is one of the best in the state.

I start a job on Monday making the most I’ve ever made and we’re paying hundreds less on rent and getting way more i.e. moving from a townhome to a house with about 500 more sq ft plus a yard, lower cost of living… no bums and shootings at the local park, no harassing threats to kick my kids out of school if they’re not experimented on and other such intolerable bullshit. Last I’ll say about that.

One of my biggest reasons is I look back at my early adulthood and I was able to afford a one bedroom apartment on a modest better than minimum income when I was 20 in Los Angeles. I’m looking at my soon to be young adult teens and that shit is a fucking fantasy for them.

This was a great move. The heat and humidity is an adjustment but I tolerate weather on both ends of the extremes well. I’m sure there’s gonna be other cons that will stack up a bit on the list, but there are reasons why people are leaving CA and NY in droves.

The future just got a lot brighter for the fam.

Awesome and welcome! I'm in Houston, born and raised. I'd find it very hard to leave and live somewhere else, not even factoring leaving family. I'm going to assume by south suburbs, you're in one of the 'lands. Need any recommendations, let me know. We have it all!

I'm actually surprised how much farm land is gone and developed on in Tarrant County and that one county south of Ft. Worth.

Nice man!

Lived in Houston couple summers ago for work; was pretty brutal for what we were doing (HazMat training, long sleeves/jeans/boots etc) but I wouldn't have any problem living a regular life there.

Glad you got out, CA is getting crazy....

Congrats on the move. This place is nuts.

Congrats on the move hommie. I hope it all works out for the best for you and the family.

Good luck with the move

I was just at a buddies birthday this past weekend and all my buds were there (he lives right over the NY border in CT) and all my buds seem to be getting VERY ITCHY to leave the state, we all thought we would grow old together but the state is ABSOLUTELY making it IMPOSSIBLE to live hear. Crime is a joke (I saw a dude on subway get assaulted with a some type of homemade light sabre the dude was just swatting it at people ) thankfully the train just pulled out of Grand Central and the cops took him in

Now its just a sh!t show and the leadership of the state just made some new law with outlawing "salesman to saleperson and changing the name of inmates, etc" Instead of things to improve out lives for everyone who lives here they worry about nonsense like this and now they want to tax cars that drive into the city the absolute lack of common sense is astounding. no wonder people are leaving the state in droves
