Considering relocating to Texas
Great post! That's exactly it, wherever you go it's always "something" that makes it not perfect. Gotta be willing to compromise and trade based on your priorities. I love the climate, landscape, outdoor activities and friendly open people Colorado has but it's not worth the insane housing costs, stupid emissions laws and testing, lack of diversity basically anywhere but Denver among other smaller issues that I've ignored in the past. I might look at moving back later on down the road but at this point in my life I feel my calling is elsewhere and I'm willing to make some compromises.
There is a old saying about the grass being greener on the other side. I have relatives that live in the Denver area, the housing costs are high but insane high, no. Anywhere one moves closer to a bigger city the housing costs will be higher.
If you cannot find diversity outside of the Denver area I can assure you that you will not find it any better in most other states.
If you think for one second some of the more welcoming posts you received are a indication of good intentions that may be true but reading deeper into this web forum will show you beyond the shadow of a doubt just how hate and spite driven people can be
I should not have to spell this out to you anymore, you should be smart enough to figure it out
My problem if it can be called that is simple.
I will never ever read idly by and ignore lousy low hating comments, I will not be subjected to ridicule not here or in person simply because I hold different opinions
I dont shove my business in anyones face and nobody will do the same to me
My reluctance to look the other way has cost me plenty and im ok with that
Just wanted to make that clear
The smaller issues you've ignored in the past can very well grow into major issues so its critical you find a community that welcomes you and accepts you as a person first and not your political views, faith or color of your skin.
We all want to live in peace and harmony. Our first priorities or at least mine was to be able to provide for my family with a good paying job, living somewhere that would provide decent schooling for my children and a relatively safe place to live
Id think things over carefully and discuss it with my elders, what id tell my own child if asked
My best wishes
