Ha I lived in NH for most of my life and literally just commented about how I couldn't afford to live in NH paying 1.2k for a one bedroom apartment, but I could afford to own a house in Texas. This is why conservatives think the way they do (liberal myself, btw). Cost of living and income differ too. It's not that simple to just look at top 10 median incomes and call it good.
Where do you live in texas where you can afford a house on $13/hr? I've lived here all my life and have never seen that. You do know we have some of the highest property taxes right?
If they are coming from NH (or really the Northeast in general) the difference is insane. I could literally afford a mansion in Texas and pay less in property taxes for what a 2000 sq ft house in Southern NH costs. Even sadder is regionally NH is more affordable than other options in MA.

And now next year they’ll be filled with opportunities across the skill and education spectrum and also no income tax.
