There's nothing wrong with their choice, but don't be so naive as to why they chose that area.

On this topic, though, it's always been strange to me that the Bushes, when he was TX Governor, routinely had dinner at the gayest restaurant in Austin. They would often be the only straight people in the dining room, and were always friendly to everyone. I'm not even trying to make a point, but I've always thought this was sort of interesting.
I've lived in conservative suburban neighborhoods in the past, and it was always interesting that neighbors almost never talked politics. They were just nice neighborhoods where people looked out for each other and were always friendly. But that was before so many people became so rabidly political, so it may be different now. I don't plan to find out; I will always live in a like-minded neighborhood. E.g., if I ever am able to move back to Houston, I'll do my best to find a property in the inner loop.
