The “Texas Miracle” loses some of its magic as Oracle announces it’s moving its new HQ out of Austin and Tesla lays off nearly 2,700 workers.

    Can’t blame them, Texas is an ugly, shithole state and most of the politicians are worse.

        Driving i35, getting to i35, its all parking lots and shopping malls.

        It looks like a giant oversized strip mall.

        Within city walls it’s beautiful. But since Texas is so car dependent most of what you see are strip malls, giant bridges, and poor road design.

        Having lived there, Houston to College Station to Waco is 100% ugly. Really all of East Texas. I admit the hill country is pretty decent.

        I moved to Seattle, though. Most Texans don’t know what they’re missing.

        The whole houston area, dallas area, and all therural parts are ugly. The only decent ok looking areas are kinda the austin san antonio area and even then.
