10 Reasons not to buy property in Texas

1. They elected George Bush as their Governor.

2. They never stop reminding people they are such a big state, even though if Alaska was split in two Texas would become the third largest state.

3. The Dixie Chicks. (note: they hate George Bush so it kinda cancels things out)

4. Enron.

5. It couldn’t hack it as it’s own nation, got frightened by Mexico and had to be rescued by Americans.

6. Houston has been named as Americas fattest city. I don’t mind fat people per se, some of my best friends are fat. I just don’t want to live in a place where everyone is fat.

7. Badly designed highways.

8. Texans. They are proud of their motto, “Don’t mess with Texas”, but it actually came from an anti litter campaign, not some heroic battle against evil.

9. Deep fried donut outlets outnumber fresh fruit and vegetable outlets.

10. Houston.

Good things about Texas.

1. Austin

2. Richard Linkater

3. When you are there you have the pleasure of leaving.

Ok, so property is cheap there and you can buy land and build your own house really cheaply, but then you have to live there. It’s pretty easy to get a mortgage in Texas and there are lots of land sale websites to check availability of land.

By the way, this is just a bit of fun.
