  • Texas is the only state I've ever been too where there are more people who identify with the state than identify with the country. A true testament to how unique the Texas culture is.
  • @nekomakhea9440
    "The gap in land size between Texas and Alaska can never be filled" Texas has declared war on Oklahoma
  • @gru8177
    I’ve lived in a small town in Texas for my entire life, and let’s just say it’s been an EXPERIENCE seeing how much this once “small town” has changed. It’s now soooo over populated. I miss my small town😭
  • @italtexasgal
    It feels good to hear positive facts about my home state. ❤ Born and raised Texas proud from the ATX. Now, let's pray for some rain. 🌧 🙏🏼
  • @phoenix5054
    We add the fact that Mexico is becoming a manufacturing superpower and Laredo, TX is becoming its logistics partner into the US. Texas is holding so many cards right now.
  • As a German I‘m impressed that Texas is literally bigger than Germany entirely, at least geographically
  • @Dr_Nay
    I moved to Texas in 2019 and the amount of growth that has occurred in this short period of time is insane! Texas is a great state; however, traffic is becoming unbearable in almost every direction. They have been widening the roads, doing construction and such, but I can only imagine what Texas will look like in a few more years. I love Texas and have no plans to leave 😊.
  • @yalpad
    I moved from downtown SF to Southwest San Antonio. People are so educated here, is lovely. I'm loving texas and the birds singing in the morning instead of homeless in drugs howling in pain and desperation at 5am. I JUST FUCKING LOVE TEXAS
  • My parents bought their home in austin for something like $80,000 in 1991. Last year their neighbor sold their home for $1 million. It's just a normal neighborhood built in the late 70s. That is wild to me.
  • @johncstory
    As a native Texan, Texas is so big that we have 4 different biomes and just and hour drive from one city to the next gives you vastly different cultures
  • @Drizzt643
    I moved to Texas in 2019 from Kentucky. I got my house in 2020 (during the pandemic) & this is the best thing I could've done (should've moved here years ago)
  • I’ve lived in Texas for the past 17 years, spent my entire 13 year stint in the Navy in three of its NOSCs, and I have loved every second of it. I’m just sad that I may have to leave after marrying into Active Military. Hopefully we can come back home after retirement.
  • @lordhater2
    Living in Austin, TX my whole life I can tell you that the growth out here is insane. Every time I go off to college and come back for breaks, there’s 3 new apartment complexes and 2 more lanes of traffic paved
  • @hilestoby2628
    Texas has some of the greatest bird diversity in the United States. Many birds use Texas as a transit in their migratory routes. The wildflowers in the state are beautiful, especially with blue bonnets. You see waves wildflowers in the highways and many in the country roads.
  • I'm a life long Texan and I've noticed the growth even in small towns. A lot of it (from what I've seen) is from people leaving California, Florida, and Oklahoma to come to Texas.
  • Even with this crazy housing rate going on, my Real estate business in Dallas has not slowed down much. I get a lot of out of state clients from California and New York I show them what they can afford here in Texas land and they always say “this could triple the price in my state”. As my Texan clients are starting to have some trouble keeping up with the prices.
  • @jedwalker4543
    The “affordability” of Texas though is quickly going away. The incomes are justifying the rapidly increasing housing cost and all the other costs that are shooting up
  • @The_Proud_Texan
    As I Texan I love seeing my state grow and prosper but I also see it as a little bitter sweet. A lot of the things that make Texas special to me is is changing, lets hope its for the better!
  • @RnWSolutions
    I'm glad he finally mentioned Corpus Christi after showing its biggest port in TX and refineries at least 5 times previously. I'm surprised though he didn't mention the beaches as a growing travel destination. We continue to see more and more Canadians, Asians, and Europeans vacation here.
  • @JacobT.2211
    As a guy who actually lives in Texas, I feel very thankful for talking abt us
