Like anywhere else, it depends on where you move to. Both have some serious issues facing them and there are parts of SC that you couldn't pay me to live in just like I turned down a very good offer in Houston. Pork BBQ beats beef though. Visit, talk to folks and see what you can live with. While I think the liberal agenda will eventually take over the US (demographics), I think we'll be a couple of years behind Texas if for no other reason than you have more immigration (illegal and California, etc).

Lived in both. Chose Texas to live in. I will say that the areas around The base weren’t the best representation of the Carolinas

If you are conservative and intend on voting, Texas.
Else, anywhere else. Texas > all things SC, especially that slop they call bbq |

SC for me. Love the history and atmosphere of Charleston. I also prefer the mustard based bbq sauce.

If you'll be living at the SC coast or the upstate SC it's a toss up, anywhere else in the state and I say no way in hell would I move to SC.

Depends on where. SC coast is awesome, upstate or Columbia sucks. Conversely greater HOU/Dallas area would be low on my list.

I lived in SC for 16 years before moving to TX in 2012. I feel I have a good bit of time in both states, so IMO:
Slight edge to TX gun laws. SC bbq is mostly mustard based, which I hate. TX bbq is FAR better. Far better SC better on taxes. While TX has no state income tax, they rape you on home property taxes, which are about 10x what I was paying in SC. It pretty much negates any advantage by not have state income tax Gas cost about the same SC beaches are better as in clearer water, even if they are on the Atlantic side. I've been to TX beaches up and down the coast and they all seem - murky. Schools - TX is better. No comparison Job market - TX is light years ahead of SC. Pay-wise too Housing - you can get good value for your dollar in either state Between the two, I feel TX is better overall |

This won’t help you OP, but Texas. The BBQ; pork ribs, brisket and sausage. Also my dad was born and raised here and I have cousins that we hung out together, so the memories are a big part.
Plus Texas fought a sovereign country, with help from some Tennessee Volunteers and won it's independents without help from Washington,D.C. so I love it’s pride and history. |

Depending on which part of SC, the cost of living can't be beat. And no matter where you are in the state, your no more than a couple hours from the ocean and a couple hours from the smoky mountains.
My bills are low. And I live a very comfortable lifestyle. |

I can only speak on SC as a former resident.
Gun laws are pretty good and comparable to most of the "free" states. The only restrictions that stood out to me was open carry is not allowed and requires a class (exam + shooting test) to get a CWP. And stay away from Columbia. Except PSA. |

Native Texan that has lived in SC since 2011. I always thought I’d die in TX but I don’t think I’ll ever move back. I’m not a beach person so I prefer the upstate due to its proximity to the Blue Ridge Mtns.

South Carolina barbecue being mostly mustard based really isn’t true. I’ve never been anywhere that had strictly mustard. Just about every place I’ve been will have the meat with no sauce on it all along with some that might already have sauce in it. The sauces are usually on the table in bottles. Plus, the stuff started here so whatever else Texas does cant even claim to be barbecue. Damn I have just started loving brisket though.

Lived in SC for 5 1/2 years down towards HHI and while it an get hot (humidity is a MF'er) I enjoyed it very much. Close to the beach, Charleston for the day, or down to old Town Savannah. Only been to Texas on business. It was ok but I'm not a big city person.

Bunch of stupid fucking statements in this thread.
First off, BBQ is like blow jobs. Ain’t none bad, just different. 
Columbia isn’t as bad as Live PD makes it out to be. But it is as boring as hell unless you’re into college sports. Got a few nice lakes 25-30 miles around Columbia. Hot as shit in the summer. 1.5 hr up or down I-26 will have you at the beach or the mountains. I drive 3 hrs and I’m in Myrtle Beach. Here right now. There are hideaways you can rent in NMB that is nothing like the shit in the fake news press. Gun laws are very pro for gun owners, but with any urban area, city of Columbia has come up with some stupid shit yet to be challenged in court. Charleston area is way over crowded. Grew up in that area. Don’t recognize it anymore. Upstate is really nice. Very conservative. Can’t speak for TX. Never been there. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Is that the only criteria? Have you looked at yearly vehicle registration costs? ($360 for a 12k bike), housing costs, food, utilities, you know, everything that isnt the property tax on your house. There are lots of nice places and a lot of not so nice places in SC, and it isn't always obvious to an outsider which are which. A lot of rural shitholes in the south, for instance, it's different than other places. Richland County (Columbia) does indeed suck, but Lexington County doesn't. I wouldn't mind living up near Greenville or near the coast at all. Either way, it's tough to do much outside in the summer without a pool. |
