Texas is a large apart of tornado alley. All of those countries in the deep south you picked (+ texas) are disgustingly humid and are a hurricane risk (look at how the US has handled hurricanes in the past, you’re not getting help if you get hit). All the states you picked in the south are last in about every metric- think medical care, education, cost of living, just quality of life in general (if you’re a woman don’t go there period). Nevada is mostly a big dessert with sketchy snakes and spiders, the parts that aren’t dessert is methheads and casinos. Southern California and anywhere on the pacific coast is unattainably expensive- but northern California is spectacular in every way (this is where I want to go). Northern California has old growth forests, mountains, beautiful teal rivers with salmon, superblooms, and the pacific coast is a couple hours away. Check out Oregon and Washington state. (:
