It's official. Texas worst place to live in US.
If you haven't been paying attention, or your head has been stuck in the sand for the last 6 years, or you've been too busy working making ends meet and keeping your kids in school, then you probably haven't notice that Texas is now the worst place to live in the United States.The report titled "Texas on the Brink" by State Senator Eliot Shapleigh paints a bleak picture of Texas in almost every category used to rate places to raise a family. These categories include the environment, health care, womens issues, education, and more. And the ratings are a result of the Republican leadership of the state over the last 6 years.
According to the report, this is how Texas ranks among the 50 States today:
| 1st |
| 2nd |
| 1st |
| 47th |
| 50th |
| 50th |
| 44th |
| 47th |
| 5th |
| 43rd |
| 49th |
| 44th |
Add to this list that Texas has the highest rates for home insurance, 25% higher than 2nd place Louisiana. (See The Most Expensive States To Insure Your Home 2005 by Forbes Magazine.) Deregulation of electricity has resulted in skyrocketing electricity costs instead of more competition that would reduce our rates, as promised. College education costs have soared by an average of 39% in just one short year once again as a result of deregulation.
For those with their heads still in the sand, do yourself a favor and look at your bills, your tax statement, and read "Texas on the Brink".
During the 2006 campaign Gov Perry looked into the camera and said "I'm proud of Texas. Are you?" I think the answer is very clear. Only Rick Perry could be proud of living in the worst state in the United States.

Thanks for this article. I'm linking your post to my blog, Dallas Progress.
I just looked at those Forbes ranking. Texas is 50% higher in insurance premiums than the 2nd most expensive state. That's absurd.
There is such a ridiculous dichotomy in these numbers. 2nd in birth rate, but 49th in immunizations. But as a whole, we don't vote. I don't get it.
On the real, I didn't want to hear Perry's address. It's all b.s anyway.
Thanks Kinky! If you had dropped out we could've kicked Perry out and made some progress.
Drop me an e-mail anytime. I'm a big fan of your writing.
Hey! thanks Michael!
My insurance just went up again. Ever since Austin started helping us with insurance reform, my rates have doubled and I lost water, sewer, and foundation damage.
This state really sucks. They keep electing these idiots while they pay out their ass.
But....raise their taxes by $50/year? And they will light the torches and march down the street.
Texas really sucks.
Thanks for the link!
I am so looking forward to the day I can see the "Welcome to Texas" sign in my rear view mirror. For many reasons, believe me.
I must say, the departure of playmisty and john would certainly improve the quality of life in the state.
hey. I'm at least working on it.
Ill let you bunch of suckers stay here and drown in your own spit.
I agree!
Thanks for the info. I think all red states suck though :)
Time for Texans to educate themselves on the definition of liberal vs. conservative!
http://www.liberalcartoons.com
Now John,
I'm a native Texan and refuse to give up my state to a bunch of "conservatives" who don't have enough sense to come in out of the rain.
My departure would sure as hell improve my quality of life. Bonus points if you like the idea. I'd be farther from you, sounds pretty good all around.
C'mon. Johnny C. ain't goin' anywhere. ;-)
I'm probably gonna get taxed outta my house here soon....I think I'll sneak across the border an' live cheap...
I'm thinking of relocating to Colorado Springs - home of Focus on the Family and tons of come to Jesus conservatives. I figure the ratio is about right - I do want to be fair, after all.
I was in Boston last year for a week. LOVED it! Colorado Springs was GREAT in the mid 80's. Dobson has pretty much ruined it for me.
I'm also looking at the DC area.
Of course this is more long term, like retirement time.
Wonder where all the Republican supporters are? Probably working to pay their electricity bills.
No, they are reveling in the thought that they have to pay higher insurance rates, pay more for their kids to go to college, and pay a toll to use the highways. But by God they don't have to pay taxes! (Eyes roll up in head)
what a bunch of liberal losers. get the hell out if you hate the state so much. cry babies.
Dr. K hit the nail on the head!
They pay thousands in higher rates, but revel in the fact they paid $200 less in taxes.
Dumbshits.
Hey.....by the way mr anonymous, the state has been run by your kind for 6 years. You DESERVE to be paying more! You elected the dumbshits!
"Liberal losers"? That's the best you can come up with?
Guess you don't mind paying those high insurance premiums,or those high electric costs or high college tuitions, or having the highest percentage of uninsured children in that state. If that's your idea of a good state, I guess you are in the right place and more than likely were one of the few who voted for Governor 39%. I think the evidence shows that the majority of people have higher aspirations for our state.
Hey John! I loved the post, I hope you don't mind, I reposted it on my blog (listing it as your post and a link back to your page). Please let me know if you want me to take it down.
:)
Tammy
Go for it! Thank you very much !
Funny Texas seemed just fine untill liberals moved into the state with nanny laws and socialism.
You ignorant dumbass.
Insurance, electricity, and cost of education has skyrocketed under Republican rule.
you must have had your head stuck up your ass for the last decade. Remember W when he was governor 10 years ago?
Yep. ignorant dumbass.
What a bunch of cry babies. Just pack up all the wet backs and send them home. That would change our ranking in almost every category. I bet that we would be in the top 10 to 15 states in one fell swoop. To bad all of the cry babies would have a fit if we even suggested something like that. If you hate Texas so much please vote with your feet and don’t let the door hit you in the butt on the way out.

Over half of the stats on your table have a root cause and it's called Illegal Immigrants. Of course the liberals think we should continue to welcome with open arms thus worsening the problem.
And as one poster wrote, if you don't like it here, I don't think anyone is holding a gun to your head making you stay.
Stick your racist head back up your ass will ya?
Your hatred has made you blind to the obvious.
And, this is not about wanting to live here or not, it is about the facts.
None of the things on that list are the government's job in the first place so...guess we shouldn't be blaming things on the "republican leadership."
Then enjoy your high insurance rates and electricity rates and shut the fuck up.
Amen.
I left Texas in 2002 and now live in the northeast US. I lived in Dallas, Houston, and east Texas for a total of 14 years.
I'm sorry to hear all this about Texas but I am in no way surprised. Texas is a stinkhole and my only real regret in life is that I spent as much time there as I did. I highly urge and encouraged as many sane people as possible to leave. There are so many better places to live.
And to "all y'all" Texas supporters who are going to stomp on this message
Kiss my northeast-living USA ass.
Nice to know this is, in part, the legacy of our national leadership.
We're on the "road trip of a lifetime" and have been wondering if we'll make it into Texas. hmm...
Texas has a history of progressive politics and it will once again lead the US in reclaiming progressive leadership. The damage caused by fools like Bush and Delay will be repaired. It's too bad that Molly Ivins didn't live to see it.
Wish what you point out were untrue but unfortunately, it is a report card every Texan must take seriously. I have posted a link to this journal on my blog, Grassroots News U Can Use

Welp, at least conservatives have some sort of goal in mind PAST tomorrow or the next day. At least most the conservatives give a flying crap about people fighting to preserve peace in the world. Liberals just sit on lofty thrones and point the finger. Better to try something than not to have a plan and whine and complain the whole time. All liberals on this site, here's a theory: Maybe you should get off your asses, learn to read so you know what your own party does wrong, and come up with some sort of an answer in retrospect with something GOOD your party has done in the past 100 years. That's a start.
Of course it is the "liberals" fault.
Yep. The conservatives have been in charge of the state of Texas for 10 years.
But of course, it is the liberals fault.
Yep. Real smart.
Well, good. That means that the millions of people from all over the country and all over the world that have moved here in the past 25 years are pretty stupid to have stayed so long. So the ones who think it sucks that are still here are even more stupid, and the ones who left suck. Spread the word if you left. Tell your friends NOT to move here so they won't fuck it up like you did. Now, if we can just close the Mexican and Louisiana borders, most of those numbers and stats would change for the better dramatically.

"Kiss my northeast-living USA ass."
Kiss ours Bud.
As a resident of Houston, I exiled myself from Philadelphia and have never been back to that suck hole, Bud. Finding a bunch of ex-Philadelphians here in H-town, I never have to worry about visiting Philly just because I want a cheeses steak-and I can watch Eagles games on television.
The point is, I came to Houston because it's the exact opposite of Marcus Hook and Pennsylvania as a whole. Leading a Gothic lifestyle, I was constantly pulled over by police in Marcus Hook just because I was wearing all black clothing and eyeliner. I was constantly harassed and hurt by stupid, unintelligent people. I was constantly picked-on in high school because I was intelligent and creative.
I couldn't find an "out," not even in South Street in Philly, which was becoming more and more commercial. I became tired of seeing bumper stickers supporting Bush and Confederate flags abounding in the suburbs.
As I was making my exit, I had people ask me: "why are you moving to Texas? What's wrong with Philly?" The best comment was, "don't you know there are all those [insert epithet about homosexuals or Mexicans] out there?" Or, "you're going to get carjacked!"
Now that live here, I constantly have people finding me on classmate.com telling me how much they envy me for living out here.
Pennsylvania is a place where if you're smart, you get out. If you're not, you marry the girl you went with to the prom, have two kids by the time you're 25, work at Wal Mart and live on the same block where you grew up. You never go to Pittsburgh much less to any other part of your own state. If you somehow end up going to college, it's the closest college to where you attended high school.
I got out and I'm glad I did. I'll never forget the painful first 23 years of my life there. I'll never let anyone there (who's quick to defend Pennsylvania) get away with being so stupid, like Bud.
Well im not afraid to say it. TEXAS SUCKS. really it does. I am originally from california, and thank GOD that I am leaving this m****f***a at the end of the month. The insurance here is the joke of the century. Proof positive: half the state has no teeth!!!!!!What the hell!!!!! And if president dumb f**k is so great, why are we still fighting a pointless war? He did nothing while he was govenor. If you call putting someone to death damn near every week an acomplishment, then this is truly a state full of commies. I guess if your from Texas you dont know any better because you grew up in this ignorance. Didnt Texas even try to seperate itself from the U.S. at one point???? WOW!!!!! A state full of scholars...NOT...
Dear Ex-Philly Goth Tool,
I'm glad that people like you do not like PA, despite the fact that Philly and Pittsburgh are some of the best countries in the nation. FDI magazine ranked both 'Burgh and Philly as one of the future large American metros due to investment, infrastructure, and educated populace. The economist magazine also ranked 'Burgh as one of the most livable cities in the country.
Gimme a break with your PA bashing. Have fun with your pollution, hurricanes, high insurance premiums, border problems, and ineffective government. On behalf of the state of PA, good riddance to bad rubbish.
And before you bust me....I meant best CITIES in the country.
"thank GOD that I am leaving this m****f***a"...
...I am originally from california"
You are a shining example of the typical Californian. Thank God you are leaving. Please don't bump your ass on the way out. And learn to capitalize your own state. Brilliant.
Well at least one of us is smart enough to leave.
The others like to be like a battered wife. The more they get screwed, the more they want to stay.
In the end Texas will have lots of the rich people, and lots of buck toothed rednecks with the sense of a brick.
Enjoy.
"Well at least one of us is smart enough to leave."
Unfortunately, all the California losers like you that are leaving are being replaced a hundred times over here, even in what were small cities. They'll ruinDalhart just like they ruined Austin, with their foul language and goofy ideas. All you see up there are California plates. Losers. Good luck out in looney land.
DALHART — Dust Bowl towns such as Dalhart once supplied the desperate souls who made the storied Depression-era migration to California's lush fields.
Seven decades later, fortunes are reversing. Now, the seemingly limitless plains in Texas' northernmost reaches have become the agricultural promised land for California dairy farmers seeking to escape high costs, regulation and pasture-devouring sprawl.
"It is remote, and I'll tell you what: It took a little getting used to," said Richard Avila, who's in the process of moving much of his family's 119-year-old Northern California dairy operation to the Panhandle. "But every time I go back home to California, I can't wait to get back to Texas."
"Dear Ex-Philly Goth Tool,"
This is a perfect example of what I mean. Thanks for sending us your wierdos, PA. And by the way, the Economist magazine that said 'Burgh is "one" of the most livable cities in the country, remember, those ratings change every year, depending on how much the chamber pays them.So next year it will be back to where it belongs: the sewer that it is when I visited last. Ugh.

Maybe you can catch a ride with Sheehan, and that would be 2 less goofballs from your state:
Anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan meets with reporters in Crawford last summer. She told the Associated Press today that she is giving up her protest and going back to her native California.
EVAN VUCCI: AP files
his state is so great we just gave our Governor a $32,000 pay raise, and our AG a $25,000 pay raise.
Our teacher also got a whopping $430 pay raise.
See? Texas IS great!

See? We hair in Texass even have some cold hearted bastards.
Yee-ha!
"See? We hair in Texass even have some cold hearted bastards." JC
I don't know, John. The Californian below is pretty cold hearted. At least he didn't move here like sxybrwngrl in this blog:
CAIRO, Egypt — An American member of al-Qaida warned President Bush on Tuesday to end U.S. involvement in all Muslim lands or face an attack worse than the Sept. 11 suicide assault, according to a new videotape.
Wearing a white robe and a turban, Adam Yehiye Gadahn, a California native, who also goes by the name Azzam al-Amriki, said al-Qaida would not negotiate on its demands.
Texas is nothing but a bunch of stupid rednecks who dont know they are getting screwed.
"I'm glad that people like you do not like PA, despite the fact that Philly and Pittsburgh are some of the best countries in the nation."
The above tripe was posted by "Anonymous" earlier.
But alas, here's the front page Houston Chronicle today:
"Only Philadelphia now has a higher homicide rate than Houston on the list of the nation's 10 largest cities".
Sucks for you, Philly.
>Texas is nothing but a bunch of >stupid rednecks who dont know >they are getting screwed.
I am a 56-year old woman and a 4th generation Texan.
I am not a redneck. Oil companies and Land developers moved here decades ago (from other states)
and changed Texas.
I grew up in West University (Houston area) in the 50's, but cannot afford to live there now. The people that moved in and made it a mini-River Oaks (old money) will never know what a pretty place it was.
Fields, blue skies and hardly any cars…
They brought crime and congestion with all of their money.
I don't know where to go. I am trapped until I take my life, somewhere in Europe, probably
...before I turn 60.
I have a chronic illness, but love life.....the kind you can't buy.
In the words of the Republican party of Texas "Welcome to Texas"
Every person complaining about Texas wants government to powder a certain part of their ass.
Income, education, healthcare, voter turnout could all be fixed if many of these people would have some damn personal responsibility. It's easy to create an account, post some crap online and say you have done your part.
But where is the encouragement? Where is the hope and inspiration? Instead you get quality comments like, "Kiss my northeast-living USA ass," and "You ignorant dumbass."
Oh well, you all keep doing your civic duty by bashing Texas. I have go volunteer at the school.
Like DUH!
Don't talk to me about volunteering.
The article Texas worst place is full of sexism. Why is the author cncentrating on women's issues? Does the author feel that women are more important and that their issues need to be touted here and men's ignored? Sounds sexist to me.
Hasn't anyone here heard. There is no Democrat or Republican they are one and the same. They both work together against you and I. What we have to have is leadership that sticks to the rules and isn't owned by the military industrial complex or a media conglomerate.
There is only one person that comes to mind thats Dr Ron Paul. He is running as a republican. If you go back say 200 years and read the Constitution, he is more like one of those people. Here's a little more about him:
Brief Overview of Congressman Paul’s Record:
He has never voted to raise taxes.
He has never voted for an unbalanced budget.
He has never voted for a federal restriction on gun ownership.
He has never voted to raise congressional pay.
He has never taken a government-paid junket.
He has never voted to increase the power of the executive branch.
He voted against the Patriot Act.
He voted against regulating the Internet.
He voted against the Iraq war. He does not participate in the lucrative congressional pension program.
He returns a portion of his annual congressional office budget to the U.S. treasury every year.
Congressman Paul introduces numerous pieces of substantive legislation each year, probably more than any single member of Congress
Paul is a nut.
Texas is the anus of the universe, case closed.
IM IN UR STAT HOUZ MAKIN UR STATE SUCK
I think everyone on here sounds like a bunch of no good idiots with nothing better to do but argue with each other. You all make Texans look stupid.
This post has been removed by the author.
Hey, you know where the state line is - don't let the door hit you in the ass - and would you mind taking a bus load of illegals with you?
HEY! dont shoot the messager!
The facts are the facts. If you enjoy paying out your ass for insurance, electricity, and college education, please bend over and dont complain.
But don't drag those of us who are trying to protect your sorry ass from getting screwed.
Literally.
You should come up here in live in one of the northern blue states and enjoy the highest taxes in the country and the most inflated home values. There is a good reason why they call the North East the Welfare captial of the country. I don't know about Texas but up here for ever two people that work there is one that lives on welfare. If really sucks when the Department of Human services suggest to single parents to live off welfare than to work because they will be better off. Hum Texas doesn't sound to bad to me now that I think of it.
I lived in Texas (Dallas area) for five years (1992-1997). I hated it, but not for the reasons in this blog. Most of my objections were cultural, but I also hated the flatness, the distance from the ocean, the lack of trees, and the awful summers. Texas has to be among the five ugliest states in America, even Rhode Island beats it hands down. Most of all, I disliked: People with little class who think they can buy class by owning an over-sized house, thanks to the low price of housing (after all, they need to pay you a premium to live in Texas). Texans murder the English language, it's fixing, sitting, and standing, not fixin', sittin', and standin'. To fix means to REpair, to get ready means to PREpare. The plural of you is you, not y'all. Whether you are addressing one person, or 500, you refer to them as "you." No matter what they tell you, cowboy boots do NOT go with formal wear. Bacon fat is not a vegetable, and does not belong in vegetables. Haven't you people heard of cholesterol? No, I haven't been saved YET — I'm still alive, you nitwits. I'm still working on being saved. I'll be saved when I'm dead, judged, and in heaven, which hopefully bears little resemblance to Texas. Funny, Jews in New York ever asked me if I was saved, or if I had accepted Moses as my personal prophet, or tried to get me to come to their synagogue. They left me alone to be Catholic and I left them alone to be Jewish. Get the point, Southern evangelicals? And finally, Blue Bell ice cream is the WORST ice cream I've ever had in the United States! Try Hood in New England, Kemp's in Minnesota, and Edy's or Dreyers from California. They're all better than Blue Bell.
Your postings are very interesting, if you prefer fiction. Your statistics are a complete farce. People, if you want facts, don't waste your time here. Try http://www.statemaster.com/red/graph/ene_res_pri_ele_percap-residential-prices-electricity-per-capita&int=-1. There you will find Texas is second to the lowest when it comes to electricy prices per capita. Hmmm.... Texas is 3rd in Postsecondary Degrees Awarded by state. Which says a lot considering we have so many illigals holding our children back because they can barely speak the English language. Oh, and yes, please take the illigal immigrants with you when you go. Check the stats on that Einstein. Per capita, 4.5% in Texas. Put a democrat like yourself in office, and we'll all be on welfare in no time! You'll have plenty to complain about then.
4.5%!?!?!?!
WOW! I need to contact my insurance company so they will lower my rates. And my daughters college! And my electricty company!
They have been overcharging me for years and they dont even know it!
Thanks for the tip. I will soon be rejoicing!
Again, check your stats. It's amazing to me how you people can take some random guys word over actual facts. Hey, here's an idea! Why not make a positive comment about the wonderful state we live in huh? If not, move to Florida or California, where you can really spend a chunk of change on simple necessities like housing and utilities.
With regard to those who posted messages to the effect that Texas' woes could be blamed on illegal immigrants and (sic) "wetbacks", I am reluctantly forced to concur. We need to evict all the Red River wetbacks and send them back to America.
Maybe because I'm older, but I seem to recall a time when the Texas economy was better than that of many other states and many a northern Émigré found his or her way down here from the US. That was when things started going bad for Texas.
I also remember numerous books being offered in stores explaining Texas customs, culture, and history to those foreigners who came from lands that had none.

You left wing pussies should try living in Boston for a while. I've been living here since 2004, and while it's a visually "pretty" city, the quality of life here is very hard. My roommates couldn't believe how low the quality of life was here, they were from Florida. People cannot flee this state fast enough. The taxes, the corruption (you guys in Texas think you have it bad?!?! haha!), the Big Dig. Oh yeah, it's currently 25 degrees out. I hate this fucking place and plan to move to Houston sometime in the next year. Blue states are bad? Then why is Massachusetts the only state that lost population in 2005? Why is nearly all the growth in red states? You people are morons. If anyone would like to elaborate, my email address is bdjr76@yahoo.com.
Here's something else for you idiots:
A majority of people who moved out of Massachusetts last year report they are very satisfied with life in their new state and would not move back, a Boston Globe poll has found.
Seventy-three percent of those surveyed said they live in a home that is bigger than their home in Massachusetts was. Fifty-four percent said their standard of living is higher now.
The top reason people gave for leaving Massachusetts was a better job, followed by the cost of housing, family ties, and the weather. In a separate set of questions, 50 percent of those surveyed said the cost of housing was a ''major factor," and a better job was cited as a ''major factor" by 39 percent.
The findings underscored the difficulties of living, raising children, and earning enough money in Massachusetts, and suggested that these fundamental aspirations of the American middle-class are often easier for people to achieve outside the state.
The wide-ranging poll was the first of its kind to measure the motivations of people who have left Massachusetts, whose population of 6.39 million dropped by nearly 19,000 between 2003 and 2005, according to Census data.
Stay there. We dont need more stupid people.
well Damn... you know it really doesn't matter where you live because jesus is coming back soon and this whole world and even this state that everyone has such different opinions on is gonna be destoryed....so then start thinking about your soul salvation and how to make it right with the lord.....Repent for the kingdom of god is at hand....Revelations.
You right wing nut job pussies should try living in Boston for a while. I've been living here since 2004, and it's a visually "pretty" city, the quality of life here is far superior to where you creepy conservatives nest. My roommates couldn't believe how low the quality of life in Texas was when I told them. People cannot flee that state fast enough. The taxes, the corruption (you guys in Texas think you have it bad?!?! haha!), the Big Dig. Oh yeah, it's currently 125 degrees out. I love this place and plan on staying. Blue states suck. Alghouth Texas gained population, it was a result of inbreeding. In fact, many of the Texan inbreeders have posted on this blog about how "great" that shit hole of a dump with bible thumping, cousin' kissin', red-neck, hateful, jesus freaks,
sub-human assholes exist. Hey, here's an idea, why don't we put ALL ths creepy conservative republicans in Texas, and then bomb the shit out of it, you know, like we did in Iraq. We can say it's to preserve democracy, or sya it's because that's what jesus (small j) wants, or because it's the patriotic thing to do. You people are morons. If anyone would like to elaborate, my email address

Of course in Iraq, we are there for oil, (how did our oil get under their soil anyway), but in this case it really would be to save America. By the way, wouldn't America, and the world for that matter, be a better place if that cow-tipping, immigrant hating, whiney right wing bitching, bush producing state was wiped from the map. Speaking of bush, well, we all know by now that the U.S. would be better off with a shrub than a bush. Anyway, the point is, you people are morons. You are shameful, no good, worthless asses that have corrupted the country and the world. Fuck yourselves, and to hell with y'all.

I find this document very bashful. I do agree, a lot of Texas is rather terrible, but where I live, it is very rich, very wealthy, very nice. It is perfect.
There are Mansions, directly next to each other, just like a normal neighborhood, but instead of the houses next to each other, the houses are replaced with mansions. If you live in a "good" piece of Texas, you will love Texas.

Also, people where I live have a very high intellectual content. I do a lot of professional programming, I primarily do web programming (like PHP), but I can also work in two and three dimensions in game programming (Like C++). I do a lot more then just PHP and C++ though.
I will be moving to TX by the end of the year. I am really looking forward to it.I can live like a King there. It is really cheap.
Come live in NJ for a while, you will see how good you have it in TX. I can buy 3 or 4 houses in Tx for the price of 1 here. You can not get a good house for under $350,000. Even one for 350k you have to fix it up. Property taxes are high as well. Most places they are 5k to 15k and up a year. You are lucky if you have taxes under 5,000. My husbands parents have to move becuase thier property taxes are now 15k a year, on a lot thats small and houses on very side of you.
Car insurance, highest in the US.
Schools, they just suck. Crime, very high.
There are way worse places to live then TX. Look at some other states and you will see how good you have it.

Please look at other states before you think you have it so bad.
