Yeah really. Plus you live in Florida, and the last time I looked on a map, it was in the South. I don't think Texas would be much too different.

It's very racially diverse. Austin and San Antonio's populations are one in three hispanic. Dallas and Houston have larger black populations.

Actually for real estate investment, Dallas/Ft Worth would probably be one of the best places in the country for affordability and return on investment. A good friend of mine just moved back there, buying a condo in Oak Lawn. He messaged my last night and was saying it was refreshing to live once again in a gay neighborhood. (In Austin, we've always just lived everywhere)
