I currently live in California, but it’s literally impossible to afford to buy a house.
Where are some good places to move to? I was thinking about Washington State, but I’m not sure I could handle the snow.

What city are you in? Do you actually see those issues in your day to day life? I’m not discounting how terrible Abbott is at all! And yes, he’s definitely trying to make things worse, but we have plenty of people (44% in 2022) who disagree with him. I live in Dallas and work in public education with people from a wide variety of backgrounds. My husband works in Ft. Worth, where it’s considerably more conservative, and his company is very invested in DEI. Yes, there are difficult places and situations, but it’s really not the shitshow you see on tv. Gerrymandering has given us a government that’s not representative of our population. Extremes make the news.
I’m in Austin. Mexican. Family has been US citizens for 5 generations and live all across the state.
Most of my family is women. Many of my family are teachers.
My family has run into all these issues, except the faucet not recognizing their skin.
But we have been pulled over for driving through very white neighborhoods on either business or to see friends.
We have lighter skin, so rarely the target of hate from strangers. But we have been out with darker friends who do get the hate while standing next to us.
Sharing too much, but miscarriages have happened decades ago. On top of the unearned shame the mother feels, even back then there was worry about law enforcement questioning them.
Decades of being good citizens, serving the military, serving the community. And we are now wondering if we need to move to a new state.
