You have to factor in regulatory costs as well, though. It is simpler to run a business or build a house in Texas and the advantage that gives Texas is substantial.

The point is, that it is not being translated to an advantage to the middle class. The profits are going to businesses and developers.

Please, step back and take a wider view of how State government policies impact all of the people in a State. It’s not pretty down here.
