I'm pretty sure the OP doesn't live here nor does he want to live here. He's just listing reasons not to move here from Long Island, NY. Probably he's never even been here. I think his "knowledge" has been formed from reading complaints about this or that on TOTV.

Take the climate. We find the climate here to be preferable to that of south Texas, where it is extremely hot and humid in the summer and can be extremely cold and damp in the winter. Notice to OP: Some people like hot weather.

My theory is that OP wants very much to live here. But he ( my theory is that OP is a he. Hey, it's my theory, and it can be sexist if it wants to be) gambled on property values going down, and scooping up a bargain, and now finds his dreams left in the dust.
That's my theory and I'm sticking to it, unless he wants to rejoin his conversation and explain further.

Sounds like a bored baiter to me.

Your minority report is duly noted!

Drink much? That's one of the few things OP left off his post.

What things do you wish you could do that you can't do.

Your knowledge could help someone else from making the same mistake you made.

First of the month. Time to get more forum traffic for advertising rates. Everyone falls for the troll. Next troll topic will be "Does Costco sell dog poop bags to the 2 ladies in a golf cart with a clipboard who just got back from Trader Joe's on the way home to their home down by the noisy FL Turnpike but they want to move in to the apartments hopefully over Chico's Ladies Store in Spanish Springs after the Morse Family sells out to the crazy dancing guy with the kerchief !"

If there ever was a post that should be taken down, it should be this one.
