From the time I've spent there, I have to say that Texans are friendlier. My experience with Texans is that they are friendlier than folks from any other state - especially the northeast. Definitely friendlier than California (people here suck).
The weather is also better in Texas, the roads are in better condition (with better city planning), the state is better run, the cities are more attractive, and the football fans have a much healthier relationship with their teams. You guys in Pennsylvania are downright abusive.
Roads are awful here, no doubt about it. I'll take our windy, hilly roads any day though, just more fun to drive on. I will admit though that it's a lot easier to speed on Texas freeways. First, due to the better road condition, and second because it's so damn flat that you can see forever and keep an eye out for police(don't usually speed, but I was late for a flight lol). I did notice that in Texas/Oklahoma, people drive much slower than they do around here.
I'd like to think people are a lot warmer here than most of the northeast. Philadelphia is downright brutal in my experience, and New England isn't much better. Life seems a bit slower here to me than it does in most of the northeast. I suppose the niceness of people is kind of subjective, and I will admit that people I met in Texas/Oklahoma(my only real experience in the southwest) were generally very friendly too.
Horrible state govt, no argument there. I wish our state govt would borrow some ideas from Texas. Better finances may lead to better roads too, solving another problem.👍
Still, it's a small city with all of the luxaries of a big city. Three (if the pirates count) pro sports teams, good college sports, great schools, nice cultural scene, good nightlife...etc. I'm sure Dallas and most big cities boast the same in that regard, but it's cheap to live here, job market is stable, and traffic is almost nonexistant! Plus I love winter sports.
But yeah, I grew up here, went to college here, and now work here, of course I love it.
Definitely won't be spending my whole life here though, there's a lot of the world I have to see still.
I think Texans are just as loyal to their home as we are here, if not more. My good friend from Austin is that way, anyway.
oh yeah on topic GO STEELERS!!!!!!
