    Texas: 9

    State Parks:

    California: 126 State parks, 8 State Forest, 11 state wildlife areas??
    Texas: 55 state parks/ 4 State Forest

    Tallest Building:

    California is in a perpetual state of bankruptcy that will only get worse.

    IN 10 years, half the things you mentioned will probably close down

    You are right. As a California resident and Texas native, the taxes and potholes are definitely bigger in California.

    Driving past Beechnut is for poor people. Real ballers drive on Wheeler.

    What I was told from someone who lived in LA is everyone in Cali is on some form of Gov. assistance.

    California also has more people, so most of those things make sense.

    I think if you are talented you would be better off in California. Apparently salaries are going insane in silicon valley.

    They actually seem to be getting their house in order as far as finances go. Still Texas > California for most things

    And if money problems don't do it, an earthquake will probably put half the state in the Pacific.

    Let's not forget that the cost of living is also much bigger in CA than in TX.

    This being Hangout we need to consider the two most important factors when comparing states.
    Whose burgers are bigger
    In-N-Out vs. Whataburger

    and

    CA Boobies vs. TX Boobies
