California Woman Moves To Texas For Freedom, Returns Citing High Costs And Political Exhaustion

[Bluesaph]

40. My husband and I are thinking of moving to Houston

For retirement. I have so many questions. It would be he and I and our 21 year old son at first. Then our three daughters, their husbands and all the grandkids.

We own our home in California and if we sell it we can buy two houses in Texas and rent one out as additional retirement income.

The idea is that the kids will be able to afford to buy houses in Houston suburbs whereas they cannot anywhere in California. And we are a BIG BLUE VOTING FAMILY!

But do you know whether people can get solar panels with the wind and hail? Like what if we store our own power?

Also, I’ve been here in the summer and it’s humid but the heat is no different than chino hills. But what really are the winters like? I mean I remember the winter from hell a few years ago but is that the norm?

Thanks if you have time to reply.
