Just listen to Adam Carolla's rant about California, Newsom, or Garcetti in general. They're all epic. Especially the part about the cops are writing chicken shit tickets for speeding on the bottom of the hill, while across the street, illegals are peddling contrabands, food, etc without any permits. Oh, at the same time real business are getting licensed to death for every little thing.
man, I'm an idea libertarian and I got a question.
why is Montana and Wyoming the two states that always seem to be states people want to move to?
I'm in Texas, and it's going to be my home till the day I die, but for some reason my dream final move is out in the middle of nowhere, rural Montana or Wyoming. I guess it's because they actually have snow instead of ice during their winters but it just seems like a common thing among libertarians.
I cant say for everyone but if I was a rich man, I'd buy a ranch with a couple hundred acres up there. I'd have to check the local building regulations though to see if my 1:2 scale replica Trump Wall fencing needs cement or not though.
usually it's the low taxes that pull people in, but then they move to Austin, D/FW, San Antonio, or Houston without realizing the tax rate is higher in those cities. The survivalist in me loves bad weather but at the same time I'm not going to be the guy who buys a school bus and tries to live in Alaska in the middle of winter.
The main problem with "rural" texas is you will still end up with close neighbors, if you want something really out in the middle of nowhere, you'll have to deal with buying the land from someone who generally isn't in the market to sell, deal with all the land use rights, have utilities run a line out to the property and deal with a water well drilling company. I mean you'll have to do that anywhere regardless but most land owners have had it passed down through their famly for a while so it'll take some convincing if they dont know you.
I agree though, small town texas is still around 11-15k people, I think the only town that was less than 100 in total was Maryneal, had at most 20, and that kind of got burned to the ground during the 2011 wildfire.
Amen!

I put a vinyl centipede on my vehicle window. Works.

I think it dates to childhood images of independent cowboys and ranchers in the big outdoors, added to by the lack of restrictive gun and such laws.
Not sure if the lack of laws and fertile/viable open space is reality still, but I suspect that image is the deep source.
