No state income tax in TX, though they do like property tax here. Seasons depend on the zone. Um… Not sure what else my brain could be picked for that Google wouldn’t know.

I’ve lived in Texas once before, when I was just an icklegab. What I remember is that it had a huge variety in people (which we don’t get in Utah, alas), and that it was HOT and there were HUGE bugs. But, there was very little snow if any, and they pay well for tech jobs, and the housing/rental market is pretty comparable to where I live now. 

The points in favor of Texas are more opportunity, cons, thunderstorms, mexican food (my favorite), fish, and the friends I have there.

Plus armadillos and my mom’s family all lives in the area (texas, louisiana, missouri). 

BUT HEAT. AND BUGS. 

Granted, just about anywhere is better than Utah… though I am p happy right now I must admit. Good jobs really do make everything better!
