And California is completely outside of my price range for anywhere I'd wave to live there. Just give me some place with a great view and a few acres that doesn't cost 2 million plus. Becuase that's the shit I see now anywhere else I'd want to live. And that's basically Texas Hill Country.
I remember back when I first started working and I was up in Marin County I told a friend who lived there that as soon as I made some money I'd move there and he indicated it would never get better than then and I should just dive in.
I like the coastal area but with flooding and the fire hazard, doesn't seem like a great bet. But I'm getting so old my risk horizon is pretty narrow.
I do wish the Texas Hill Country had taken a page from Marin and created trails in the hills and limited development on the higher elevation of said hills.
San Antonio and Austin and the Texas Hill Country? Lot of land rape there. It doesn't sting so bad here in Dallas because most of the area isn't very pretty.

They call it democracy.
I've been doing my meditation and mindfulness stuff lately, and you have to accept that people are just going to vote against your interest and their interest for the craziest and depressing reasons.
The problem is American politics is not all based on "reactions". I know this is going to sound way off point, but I there was one particular World Cup where "watch party" reactions to Landon Donovan's goal all went viral. I remember thinking - who the fuck cares? Quit panning back to all these fat fucks jumping for joy and just show the goal.
We've become a nation of people for some strange reason who are obsessed with the reaction and opinion of the rabble to things that actually happen. We don't have time to correctly analyze the underlying policy or incident because all our time is spent on caring what dumb shit MAGA people do, or what radical progressives do.
Until people are starving, they are going to keep doing stupid stuff. And when they are starving, they are going to do especially stupid stuff.
I don't know, I'm talking out of my ass, but I think it's a waste of time to worry about how others will vote or how stupid they are. I'm going to try not to add to that pile of useless criticism.
