California costs too much! Let's compare it to Texas

53. Don't forget the cost of homeowners insurance.

It's a hell of a lot more to insure in Texas. Due to hail, high winds, tornado's, etc. a homeowner never has to actually worry about their roof hitting end of warranty. The insurance company will usually come in at some point, but guess what, you still pay for it via insurance. And there are hefty deductibles that go along. Whereas in California you can blow past your roof warranty and should it leak on the rare heavy rain storm, a few hundred dollar patch will fix it right up.

Have an old friend who just recently moved to Texas, he gave a phone tour of the house they got, the square footage, ridiculous amount of rooms, etc. After the call, my wife said "no way in hell will I clean a house that fucking big". Then I brought up to his brother, "how on earth is he going to furnish that much space? And do you need it?".
