Having been, myself, relentlessly bullied by closed-minded bigots, I can confidently say that getting away from environments like that is priceless.
Looks like there is a price - otherwise people wouldn't be moving here in droves. Also Houston being full of close minded bigots is hilarious to me, it's far more racially integrated than NYC. You seem to be the one that's a bigot
I expect better from Hacker News. Oh well.
Do you think bullying doesn't exist in New York City?
Big difference between kid bullies and government bullies. You're almost guaranteed to be a school bully victim when your governor is going after Mini Mouse for wearing a rainbow skirt.
