work; the american federal gov't is funneling tons of money into texas and every day i get at least one email from a recruiter to move back to texas for a job and it's at a considerably higher frequency than california.
I’d rather be unemployed than live in Texas.

I got a disgustingly high offer for West Texas but I'd kms if I had to live there.

there's really good reasons why they have to bribe people to move there w money.
if you find that you must move, chose houston or dallas; houston is better, but not by much.

You can use various things to obscure a license plate from Flock cameras, but it's illegal to varying degrees in several states, no doubt with more on the way.
