Lucky homeowners! Allowed to return to their homes. Now that's Freedom!

I'm native and I now live in Texas. It isn't hard to figure out why as I got tired of the smog, state government, taxes, high gas prices, high housing costs and of course, wild fires. After the big one destroys the infrastructure land there may be cheap again.
