- Kellee Speakman, a conservative elementary school teacher, moved from California to Texas in 2022 but returned after four and a half months due to Texas’s political obsession and unexpected living costs.
- Speakman found Texas to be not much cheaper than California, with high property taxes, expensive services, and lower wages, which contributed to her dissatisfaction.
- She returned to California, appreciating its lifestyle, public lands, and better teacher benefits, realizing that her idea of freedom involved peace and everyday adventures rather than political rhetoric.
This is one of the annoying things about all the California people moving to Texas.
They have contributed to an absolutely massive spike in home prices, and despite the complaints of all the “California liberals” moving here, in my experience it’s mostly conservatives who are attracted to the Texas GOP’s insanity, so they’re shifting things further to the right.
We should tell them that Russia is now welcoming their kind with open arms!
