However, if you would like to have a pragmatic discussion on guns and raised trucks we can meet at the PR board.
I do not like Whole Foods.
why do you want to move somewhere you don't
want to live in?

being that you hate traffic and want to be close to an airport, why not charleston or savannah?
with all due respect, this type of attitude (i don't actually want to move here, i hate rednecks) is why texans are getting annoyed with outsiders moving in. there is this perception (somewhat right, somewhat distorted) that outsiders are moving in with cali and washington and nyc plates talking about how redneck they perceive texas and how they don't want to be there while they take advantage of low taxes, more personal liberty, variety in housing. growing up in a boom town in canada, i absolutely relate to this.
i mean a transfer is one thing, but choosing to apply for a jobs in a place you do not want? and while i realized you were facetious, why would you bring up your dislike of guns in the same sentence of whether you want to move to the lone star state or not? this is like me saying i want to move to california, well, not really, but i want fast cars and cheap flights. oh but i hate priuses and pinkos.
texas is lovely. dallas is a city just like any other us city. dallas people are uppity and the last place i'd want to live in texas (right down there with austin), but far better than most cities in the usa imo.
you do not like whole foods? well at least there's h e b.
surprisingly, whole foods can be as cheap as the groceries if you shop around, i just go there for 6 pack of lone star tall boys that are cheaper than kroger.
