People Moving to Texas Are Not Going to Turn the State Blue
I saw the news clip last night on the local CBS channel. This is the bestest part of the story about Texas real estate sales.[Yahoo News] BROOKE KATZ [CBS]: She recently attracted the attention of actor Kirk Cameron who, in a Facebook post, said he too is considering moving to Texas, where taxes are lower, patriotism is higher, and biblical values are celebrated. MARIE BAILEY [RE agent]: There is a huge misconception that Californians are here to turn Texas blue. BROOKE KATZ: Bailey says the buyers she works with are overwhelmingly conservative. LUIS TORRES [expert]: Don't forget, people will vote with their feet, and they're voting for taxes. BROOKE KATZ: Research economist Dr. Luis Torres says our state's business-friendly reputation draws tens of thousands of people every year. But many agents say 2020 brought even more buyers hoping to escape their state's COVID restrictions. Tuesday, the Gov announced lifting all restrictions as of March 10. KATHERINE MEYERS [agent]: I have people that have contacted me from California, Illinois, New York to help them find homes here. MARIE BAILEY [agent]: They know what they are coming from and they are thrilled. I am too, as long as they are "overwhelmingly conservative". Posted by: Bobby 2021-03-03 |
