So the worst case here is that the poor might move to GASP Texas! And enjoy a better quality of life associated with a smaller government. What a bizarrely narrow-mindedly ignorant perspective, which I imagine will resonant quite well with the anti-Walmart crowd that is equally too narrow-minded to appreciate the impact and empowerment Walmart has on the poor.
I don't consider it a high quality of life when you can't have a reasonable expectation that a surgeon isn't going to kill you on the operating table and has been killing patients for years with complaints about him while the state board does nothing.
No, I was implying that what the parent comment meant by "small government" was actually "useless government" and that his supposed higher quality of life was anything but.
Corruption or ineffective government are not exclusive to Texas. You're just spouting more ignorance and from your lower comment are clearly bigoted against Texans.
My original point stands that the use of exurbs as a pejorative in the OP is easily refuted by the experience of anyone who lives there. I used to live in Frisco, TX, an exurb of Dallas and the mere suggestion that it offered anything inferior is absurd and quite frankly just completely oblivious.
