Cost of living

Californians and other migrators can actually come to Texas and buy a beautiful home and not worry about the extremely and ridiculously high rental costs in their native states. For example, Californians can come to Texas and purchase a 1-million-dollar home for at least 400k. To simplify it even further in Fort Worth and its surrounding suburbs a California native could buy a 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom, new construction home built from the ground up for 250k including all appliances. This is a game changer for those relocating from other states. Not only is our housing market phenomenal, but our taxes are very low when compared to other states. Texas housing costs are 54% less than California. Our food, health insurance, entertainment costs are lower as well.
