Is Texas the best state in America?

Question

Is Texas the best state in America?

Answer 1

No

Answer 2

There is no clear answer for this one.

Answer 3

Depends. Former Texas governor Perry used to brag about Texas being the best state and once supported secession. Yet, on several occasions, he came to California to "shop" for businesses that might want to move there. Well, after several trips to CA, he got Toyota's HQ, and about 1000 employees, to move there. Two thousand employees remained in CA to staff various branches of the automaker in CA.

Answer 4

Yes, to those who live there. Each of our states in America has features that appeal to the inhabitants, residents and citizens, whether cultural or otherwise, and they can easily cite the sties to visit and enjoy, museums, monuments, national parks, etc.

Answer 5

I live here (Texas) and I would ask what criteria you would use. The state has many pluses to it, and we also our share of negatives (most of whom can be found in the state capitol complexes and the governor's mansion, but I digress...). We have a long warm season, plus August!, and several large growing urban areas with much to do. We have a diverse population that is becoming more diverse over time and an interesting restaurant culture is emerging. One demographer speaks of Bavarian-Korean taco trucks, but I haven't found one yet.....still looking. The larger urban areas are quite progressive unlike many of the small towns and rural areas, but we figure those small towns and rural areas, plus the politicos in the state capitol should be hitting the 1980s pretty soon now. There is quite the variety of humidity levels ranging from swampy in and around the Gulf to the low desert and high desert. Yes, the Chihuahuan Desert cuts a swath into Texas. The scenery ranges from ruggedly beautiful to flat as pancake where you can see 3 days away.



One place near San Angelo in West Texas looks like one of the Mars landings--try and top that--Mars on the Concho (River), or away from the Concho!! We have many aliens both from other countries and in Marfa, we have extraterrestrials. Who knows, we may lead the way to having Earth join the United Federation of Planets what with Vulcans, Andorians, Tellerites and a host of others around, but let's not get ahead of ourselves (Oh, btw, Gene Roddenberry was a Texan as are Michael Dorn--Worf and Brent Spiner--Data)). The economy is in pretty good shape and it seems more people move here with each passing year.



Other than that, it's a pretty typical large American state along with California and Florida (2 other states with many people as well).

Answer 6

maybe

Answer 7

That's a totally subjective question. Everybody has different criteria for deciding what makes a great state and what doesn't. Some people might think it's a great state for certain reasons other people might think it sucks. What kind of question is that?

Answer 8

Nope

Answer 9

It's pretty great

Great museums

Amazing Mexican restaurants

Best hospitals in the U.S

Great historical places to visit

Nice amusement parks (Six Flags Over Texas, Zero Gravity Amusement Park, Fiesta Texas, etc.)

Good colleges



The only thing I don't like about Texas is that it's very hot during the summer.

Answer 20

NO WAY IT IS THE NORTHWEST

Answer 21

No.

Answer 22

No ocean.

Answer 23

Depends on your political leaning. If you are a Liberal, Then California or New York is better.

Answer 24

No. I've heard that if your elderly or go unconcious in wreck or something and own lots of property

anyone can file to be your personal rep whether you know them or not

and get approved over your stuff and basically steal all your land

when you die and family can't do anything about it. Sounds sucky and corrupt to me.

Answer 25

Yes, dot. They think they are the biggest - but Alaska is. They think they can be independent - but you can't eat oil. They think they can build a wall - but even Donald can't do that. Yes, the are the bestest. Hook 'em horns. (Ooop! Well, they ain't that great in football.)

Answer 26

They're all great for different reasons. Depends on what you're into.

No

No. Have you ever met a Texan?

Dont they have all the oil ?

Answer 30

You seem to think so.

Answer 31

No its Newyork.

Answer 32

NO. That should go to a state in the Midwest.

Answer 33

Nope, nor is that pseudo-leftist utopia they call Massachusetts. New Hampshire is great for isolation, Utah is great for business and film festivals, and Louisiana (despite hurricanes) is great for kick-*** fried food.

Answer 34

What kind of question is that?

Everybody has different criteria for deciding what makes a great state and what doesn't.

Answer 35

That's a matter of opinion.

Answer 36

Along with Florida.

Answer 37

One of them.

Answer 38

Who knows!

Answer 63

No

Answer 64

Absolutely not. It's a roach-infested dump.

Answer 65

Texas?





Oh, you mean Baja Oklahoma!

Answer 66

It depends on what you think makes a great state.

In my opinion,it's one of the worst...

Answer 67

Having visited most of the states in the US, I would say that Maine is the "best" - pristine, gorgeous wilderness (including forests, mountains, meadows, rivers and lakes, and a breathtaking coastline), friendly, honest, hardworking people, it's incredibly clean, sparsely populated so there is little to no urban blight, very little crime when compared to most other states, the standard of living is relatively high, and large portions of the state are protected areas. The only downsides are that it's fairly expensive and that due to the low population there really isn't a whole lot to do. Maine is slightly larger than Ireland, but Ireland's population is many times larger and thus the population density is much higher. Portland isn't really a very memorable place. Neither is Augusta, though Lewiston was quite picturesque and quaint. North Carolina is the best Southern state, Minnesota the best Midwestern state, New Mexico the best Southwestern, and Washington the best Western state.

Answer 68

It is flood prone, tornado prone, full of illegal aliens, full of guys trying to prove

They are men fighting for no reason and women acting crazy as always causing

Problems.

Answer 69

No, I don't think there's anything good about giant cockroaches or extreme heat.

Answer 70

Possibly.

Diversity, enthusiastic citizens, pride, good economy, good jobs, granting Constitutional Rights to citizens, people moving there from restrictive States like California, many factors add up to it being a far better than average State.

Answer 71

YESSSS

Answer 72

Not the best

Answer 73

nah, you best yeehaw your way across state boarders

Answer 74

We lived there 2 yrs; it was awful. Thieves, crooks, illegal employers, cold winters, blazingly hot summers, most jobs go to Mexicans and/or those that can speak Spanish. UGH. Hawaii is far better even tho it costs more.

Answer 75

No

Answer 76

Not even in the top 25 or 30.

Answer 77

YES the best

Answer 78

Just avoid Houston Austin and Beaumont

Answer 79

Depends on what type of person you are. Texas is a bit more traditional with typical stronger faiths etc. Western states are a lot more open I guess you could say

Answer 80

I prefer North Carolina

Answer 81

Its great gun laws

Answer 82

No

Answer 83

No

Answer 84

not in my book. not even close. about 30th.

Answer 85

Texas is one of many great states in America.

Answer 86

I don't think so, but it's a good one.

Answer 87

Best state to illegally cross the boarder.

Answer 88

No

Answer 89

I like Texas also, Altho Texas is ranked as the 3rd most powerful state, The cost of living is cheaper than living in California.



You drive for 8 hours and still be in Texas.

Answer 90

No, most jobs down there are low-paying Mexi-jobs.......

plus, so many of the white folks are religious nuts....

Answer 91

No.

Remember, not long ago, they were thinking of leaving the US.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texas_secession_movements#Other_discussions_of_secession_starting_in_2012



And, there's too many creationists/ fundamentalists living there.

Rick Perry actually asked people to pray for rain.

I wonder if he asked them to stop once they started having record floods.

Answer 92

Everyone has a different opinion

Answer 93

Outside of Austin, it's pretty much a cultural wasteland.

Answer 94

the real question is... is texas a state in america???????????????????????????????????? x

Answer 95

No, it's too hot. I visited there once and fell down the moment I stepped out of the car from instant heat exhaustion.

Answer 96

Hell yeah!!!

Answer 97

One place near San Angelo in West Texas looks like one of the Mars landings--try and top that--Mars on the Concho (River), or away from the Concho!! We have many aliens both from other countries and in Marfa, we have extraterrestrials.

The economy is in pretty good shape and it seems more people move here with each passing year.

Answer 98

Yes, for Trump supporters. Lots of dumb racist bible-thumping warmongers.

Answer 99

Nope. Vermont, Massachusetts and New Hemisphere are.

Answer 100

I've only been to 31 of the 50 states, so I can't say for sure, but Texas is a pretty good place to live and work. Texas seems to really try to do what it takes to solve problems. The Katy Freeway through Houston is a good example. Its the widest highway in the world, and it was built through the middle of the city.

Housing and cost of living in general is low, wages are decent, and there is no state income tax

The weather can be a bit wacky at times though

Answer 101

Yes....Yes it is.

Answer 102

Definitely not

Answer 103

texas is the WORST state in america.

Answer 104

no....but Newyork is the best state.

Answer 105

Everyone should share the pride they have for their state. And everyone should respect that pride.

And when you add them all up. Guess what. That is what makes America great again,

Answer 106

No. There are more people on food stamps in Texas than in California, even though Texas has a much smaller population. Conservative has failed in Texas. It will be solid blue within a decade.

Answer 107

LOL. Texas is actually North Mexico and it's the worst of the Mexican States.

Answer 108

Nope not even top 20.



Best states include:



1. Colorado

2. Oregon

3. Utah

4. Alaska

5. Washington



That's just a personal opinion, but so is yours.



~Aizen

Answer 109

Obviously.

Answer 110

I tend to like it. However, it would be nice if the cities were more bicycle friendly. About the only one that is bicycle friendly is Austin, and I'm not fond of Austin. (too many people who take the idea of keeping Austin weird literally.)

Answer 111

Every state is good and each are unique in their own ways

Answer 112

I don’t know, I’ve never been there.

Answer 113

SOME OF THE BEST MAD MEN SHOW AROUND?

THE POLITICIANS LET THIS PEOPLE LET THEM BE?

Answer 130

A little too hot, a little too big.

NO, It's one of the worst states in the Worlds worst country!!!!!!!!!

Answer 140

No.

Answer 141

who cares?

Answer 142

No.

Answer 143

No.

Answer 144

No, I would not even want to drive through Texas or any southern state for that matter

Answer 145

No

Answer 146

No. I prefer Hawii, California.or Florida because I like warn weather year round.

Answer 147

No, because there's no such country as America. That's the name of the large continental mass & related islands that's most of the western hemisphere. It has 36 countries with 1B+ people. Among them is one increasingly dysfunctional country called the UNITED STATES of which Texas is a part. Since the U.S. is nowhere near the best "state" (in the sense of a nation), there's no way that Texas can be the best anything in America.

Answer 148

No, needs to be burned down.

Answer 149

Not hardly.

Answer 150

Answer 156

I guess that depends on your opinion. For me personally, no.

Answer 157

I think the best is South Dacota

Answer 158

It will the second Mexico.



In 1950, white population was about 90% in the USA.

in 2014, white population is about 60% in the USA



In 2050, white population will be less than 50% in the USA.

In 2100, white population will be 1/3 in the USA.





Latinos have passed whites as the largest ethnic group in California in 2015.

California, in 2015, white population was 38%.

Texas, in 2015, white population was 43%.

Florida, in 2015, whites population was 45.7%

Answer 159

As an Oklahoman, I say no.

Answer 160

There are better things to argue about because "the best state in America" is obviously going to be different for each person, since it's a matter of opinion and people live in 50 different states, most will probably say their own state is the best

Answer 161

Pretty darn close.

Answer 162

I do not think so I live in Oregon we have nice Mt. the Ocean and desert all with in a day trip from where I am.

Answer 163

I take it you didn t hear about the surreptitious video where the Texas Republican legislators are literally LAUGHING as they discuss the predicament of poor Texans, who have close to zero access to health care. Some die EVERY DAY, here in Texas.

Answer 164

I like California because I receive lots of welfare benefits

Answer 166

It's a great state. California used to be, but it's too messed up.

Having lived in 7 states and visited the other 43, with Texas being one of the 7 I say NOPE

Texas, like all states, has good points and bad points

Of the 7 states Texas rates right in the middle

Answer 168

No, the state is the most mismanaged and wrongheaded in the nation, a total clown show. All that is necessary to prove my comments is to look at the Governor and the Senators - can’t get any worse.

Answer 169

Its okay.

Answer 170

Best for what?

Answer 171

Answer 172

sure thing
