In Shenzhen, to stop rapidly rising housing prices, they've instituted a tax on properties sold within 5 years after being purchased.  However, I suspect like most taxes here, Chinese people will just ignore it.   :lol:

That property'll look absolutely gorgeous from the chopper cam tracing the tornado path.

Something about texas calls to me. Latinas with too much black eye makeup? The heat? Enough firepower to defeat the 6th Army?

I wonder if that is Josh Hamilton's old place.  He lived in Colleyville IIRC.

That "town" is in the Dallas Metroplex if anybody is wondering.

Careful.  We are one of the youngest states in the Union.  Lots of kids will be getting on your lawn.

Bleech.  It's flat and boring, dude.  No trees.  An ocean of prairie, broken up by the occasional megachurch.

Only in the northern part of the State near...you know...the praire states.  The eastern part of Texas is covered by forests.  The west is desert with our sorta pitiful share of the Rockies breaking it up.

Route 40 was all I needed to see of Texas;  just a pit stop to piss between Albaquerque Albequerque ABQ and Oklahoma City.

:lol:

There is really no worse drive I have found than I-10 through West Texas.  Just brutally boring.  They fool you to, driving from California I was thinking I was almost home when I saw the 'Welcome to Texas' sign but no...my suffering had not even started.

It's 15 hours from Beaumont to El Paso. Frankly, the western part of the state is the interesting bit. The last time I did that drive I had to stop halfway between Houston and SA to clean out my air filter. It was August and the love bugs were out in force. They had clogged it up. Ick.
