The betterment of the people needs to be weighed vs. that of the environment. That was difficult to do in Dallas when I was there--because the concept of recycling was absent at best. It may have to do with how much land you all have vs. a smaller state (like Washington)--resources are precious where we are.

And from a SoCalian's perspective--we might lose our land due to an Earthquake, but then all the geologist I have spoken to tell us differently. Land is more COSTLY in like Boulevard, California--or hayle in off Xzzyxx Road LOL... So even if we find an Extraterrestrial Space ship in the middle of nowhere California STILL will cost more that some beachfront properties in some areas...

As far as my Uncle goes he is with the Williams Company...

Haha, don't get me started on Dallas.

I have an aunt and uncle that moved to Palos Verdes for business (commercial real estate) from Highland Park in Dallas. Just from visiting I can attest to the high prices of land.

Ah yes, the Williams Company...out of Tulsa I believe? Big players in natural gas. Huge actually.

Wait, lemme ask you: LOL Are there Alligators in Texas? (I know the answer to that question) -- It's my poll of what real Texans think...

Yes? Haha. I mean, there is a spring alligator hunting season. You can hunt them in South and East Texas....never done it though.

I feel like this is a trick question.

Dude!!! I was in Sugarland visiting my husband's cousin's property... And there was this muddy retaining pond. And as we all got out of the vehicle, we looked around and all thought is was nice--until I saw to little eyes pop up out of the retaining pond... LOL... And I asked "what's that?" And my husband--a aquatic animal specialist--veterinarian--started skipping and yelping "That's an ALLIGATOR!!!" He was too happy!!!

Meanwhile, the dudes at my former workplace who hunt ALL THE TIME told me there are no alligators in Texas... And I was like, "but, but" They were that Cotton Bowl group... LOL.
