Definitely Oklahoma. And that says a lot coming from a Texan.

Why though? Lol both states look legit to me except Oklahoma has a lot more room.

Also do you ever panic over tornadoes and hurricanes in texas or no?

I read that Oklahoma has one of the best systems in place. That's why I'm wondering about Texas.

Texas has too many huge cities, I was there a few months ago and parts of it remind me way too much of California. Oklahoma's cities are much smaller and the state seemed based overall, I saw way too many masks though still in some stores.

OK also has constitutional which gives it huge points from me.

I would like to escape CA to avoid traffic too and that's one of the things turning me away from Texas.

OK also looks so much greener which is why I'm attracted to it.

I was considering AZ too but it's all desert.

I really like scenery.

Fucktons of people moving to Texas cities from liberal shitoles. Abbott has cucked enough times to signal that he can't stand up for conservatives, both literally and figuratively.

What would you say is the difference between those 2 states. I've been thinking about moving to those and a few others. It's good to have an opinion of the topic from a pede who lives there.

Texas is great. I'm in the battle zone however, Austin. Oklahoma is SOLID red. And will probably be for the next 30 years at least.

Damn at least you're in Austin negating Liberal votes. There's too many of those fuckers over there.

Only temporarily... husband and I moved here to attend college. (Late college bloomers lol)

LMAO yea geez I can't even afford Austin, I could do Dallas or Houston because the cost of homes is significantly higher in Austin.

Oh pfff. We are in a suburb outside of Austin lol

There's no way to compare them really because Texas has such a bigger population and has huge cities with all the problems they bring. In my opinion Oklahoma is more similar to Arkansas and Missouri than it is to Texas.

What's that last part mean? OK is like AK and MO.

Have you ever panicked over losing your home in a tornado, or is that not a real possibility?

Asking for myself since I am considering moving to OK from CA.

It's a really beautiful state, and I would be living near OKC if I did, so I would be pushing back the commies.

Just getting some more experience before jumping this shit hole state of CA

One of the Dakotas, I forget which one. The one with the Governor that’s hot! Forgot her name.

South Dakota is one of the last free states left

So many states are under rule of tyrants, but South Dakota governor has repeatedly said that she doesn't and no governor has the power to force people to do things.

Yeah buddy. That’s the Dakota!

You’re welcome! Btw I saw her televised speech at the RNC Convention, and I was very impressed before I knew anything about her patriotism.

Oklahoma, South Dakota, North Dakota, and of course Texas.

Depends on your field of work Opie.

For example, the red parts of CA do not have my line of work, financial services, but these states do for me.

Especially San Diego which has equivalent opportunities as Oklahoma.

Texas, Illinois, and Georgia have way more than San Diego for example, and Oklahoma is slightly less but with less stringent job requirements.

But really unless you move into CA or NY. It shouldn't really matter that much because the GOP still has significant power in most states. That's why many states don't have dumb shit laws like CA or NY.

I'm actually in Georgia. Since this election is awful, I want a state that's solidly Republican where the state government is also Republican.

yeah i am in a red state as well but due to the political environment recently I want to move to a state that actually protects its citizens. Right now its between South Dakota and FL...can't do rain and hot weather so it's looking like SD

OP what's the type of job you're looking for?

You can be generic about industries if you don't want to give too much info. Some red states are inhospitable for certain industries just as liberal states are.

It's like moving to San Francisco expecting to work in oil.

I'm really open to a lot that's white collar.

Ok those states should be enough to find work but Atlanta Georgia legit has so much, that it's near the top on my job searches in #s alone. Places near me only have like 1 job in a 15 mile radius lol thats why all the work is in San Diego.

What you can do keep a time flow chart or just data in excel of every week to see how the flow of jobs are in your selected areas of each state based on some job site like Indeed craigslist, or Linkedin

Eg.

Week 1 In OKC, OK = 60 Week 1 in Sioux Falls, SD = 100 Week 1 Fargo, ND = 30

Week 2 in OKC, OK = 78 Etc.

Doing this alone for the past 3 months has really opened my eyes on other economies in the US. Since I was paranoid that "I won't be able to find work if I leave CA", but this really calmed me down. Sure the numbers may be higher or lower, but overall I'm leaving for a cheaper state with nearly the same wages.

Don't believe the lies that liberals say that lower COL = lower wages.

That's may only be true for high level executive positions, but even then those are extremely hard to find even in populous states like CA without moving.

E.g. San Diego requires like 10 years of exp and a Master's for some job that pay 60K. But Oklahoma on the other hand had the same job for only 1-2 years of experience with preferred Bachelor's

Georgia requires a lot of years for a job too. Do you think Tennesse or South Carolina is good?

For those 2, I would recommend owning a house before making the move otherwise you may not find work fast enough before bills come due. Unless you have a lot in savings.

The alternative would be to get hired first, ideally, and then make the move.

Other states, some more risk can be involved. But if you already own your home and have some savings, it should be no problem.

With me I don't have a house in CA as the average home is $500,000 in a decent area unless I want a 2 hour commute to find one for $350000-$400,000.

If anything I would move to Texas or Oklahoma as jobs are excellent (TX) and decent (OK) and nice homes fall between the $160K - $260K range.
