OT: Houston, we've got a...., ... new Kalifornia transplant? Options

[Carlitos Way]

I had a phone interview with a company in Houston today. Looks promising. Could be relocating to the area.

Any thoughts/suggestions on moving to and/or living in Houston?

Thanks,

It's hard to be the butt of the nation's jokes, what with who's in office right now, but texas really is a great place. Your money goes a lot farther here than it would in california. i mean, when we were looking for a house there you had to have 500G's for a fixer upper! in houston it's quite cheap because people are afraid of heat and humidity. There is central AC in every house here, it's not like you have to suffer (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

also, if you have a degree in ANYTHING technical, you can work for the oil companies, then your money goes REAL far, since you'll have lots of it.

The weather is really nice for about 9 months out of the year. we dont talk about the other 3, we just stay inside....

houston is nice and the people are friendly and polite. (except me of course, i'm an asshole) you also dont have state income tax...so that rocks too. also, you dont have to smog teeners at all, just safety inspections, they are exempt from smog and odometer checks once they are over 25 years old. starting to sound good?

also.... there is a whole lot less frivolous legislation here. california really needs to focus on border security already. I realize that crops get picked by someone, how about paying people a decent wage instead of using slaves from south of the border?

no , that doesn't push me over the edge to move

I do like that if you get side tracked while driving on the highway and miss your exit just keep on driving it will come around again and again
