A Better List of Best Places to Retire- Or, Why Everyone Is Moving to Texas

This week we are happy to report on a better list of best places, one you can create yourself.
The NY Times just published an article with the headline, “Is Texas the New California“. Its author, a Californian, was very surprised to find that after taking a quiz designed by the newspaper, 7 of the top picks were in the Lone Star State. They found that on characteristics like more space for your money, racial diversity, and school quality, Texas had some of the highest ranking places to live in America.
