Who knew. Guess not me, who lives here.
And, again, you get the news you deserve. I am pretty sure I see much more Texas bashing here on DU, than California bashing. Why is that?
If you are reading right leaning news you will see right leaning stuff. The right does not like California, or for that matter New York.

Overall crime is most likely staying about the same, it just moves in fairly predictable patterns. In my case it is, simply, that the multi-family structures about 4-8 miles east are now, built in the early 80s, lower rent properties because they are not well maintained. This brings a different class of people who have different values. I live on the eastern edge of Champions Forest and those just 2 miles west are not experiencing the same issues as they are policed better due to home values. The $750,000+ homes on the golf course do not face the same issues as those in $250,000 homes just a couple miles away.
