    Can’t really escape the power grid failures, but as far as hurricanes and intolerance go, there’s always Austin.

      Not really - I am not there but from what I hear it has become overrun with a flood of people flocking towards it seeking the liberal utopia that it sold itself as (and legit was, and most likely still is) but the people there (surrounding it I guess) don’t really want to make way yet still control things like what streets and bike paths are constructed etc.

      So not everyone who wants to move there can really fit - there’s only so much space in it.

      The problem is that they have really ramped up enshitifying the public school system in the last few years. It was never great but either its gotten a lot worse or I have become much more aware of it in the last few years.

      The power grid stuff is probably the easiest to fix with a solar setup but I don’t know that I want to spend that money in a state I don’t want to stay in longer term.
