Currently in Denver and what I see on local message boards are former residents gushing about how much more affordable Texas is versus "liberal" Colorado. So I checked it out and I'm just not seeing where it's cheaper to live. With the exception of Lubbock, none of the cities were any cheaper than Denver and some, like Austin, were worse! Even Midland and Odessa are expensive.

Is all the bragging true?

I'm going with "Sally In Our Alley"

You rock!
