    Don't forget the long periods of drought and water shortages. Some years, there is very little rain and we hover in triple digits for many months. Unfortunately with all the growth in Texas, I don't think we have the water table to sustain a drastic increase in population. The foundation problems were mentioned. As well cracked exteriors with brick homes are common.

    I know you’re conservative but I’m *so glad* you mentioned the fact that liberals live here too! And no, contrary to what some say they’re not all from out of state either. I’m 35, a born & raised Texan, the child of two conservatives & a proud, card carrying liberal. If anything I’d say you’d be surprised who the liberals are. I’ve met so many “good old boys & girls” who love their country music & bbq & vote Democrat. Lol. As much as the rest of the nation may put Texas into this little red box, Texas is a very large, very diverse place full of people from different backgrounds with different ideas. Great video by the way. 👍🏻
