1 High property and insurance taxes. Droughts and tornadoes and hurricanes Landscape mostly flat hardly any mountains. Obesity is a huge issue which is not good. High cost of living in popular cities like Austin Texas. Loose gun laws open carrying. Hot weather and heatstroke risk. Political climate and division. Poor healthcare system especially rural areas. Pros good education system and schools No Income tax Very scenic and has natural beauty Has good food and famous Texas BBQ Can have low cost of living.

This video was extremely helpful and informative. I got a really good idea of each neighborhood. Thank you so much!

Did this guy purposefully find the most clueless people. These folks have zero knowledge of what Houston truly has to offer. 1. Most diverse city in the country, with 37 nationalities represented. 2. Top city in Texas for economic development. 3. Far more dining choices 4. Better nifhtife 5. More to do in the city, as well as the surrounding suburbs 6. Lower cost of living 7. 4 pro sports teams actually in Houston

I would think the quality of life is better in Dallas.

Ain't nothing in Houston but crime and traffic

San Antonio if you want eventless weather with no natural disasters. Nowhere in the USA or Americas has the weather of San Antonio. It has the shortest 50-degree-weather season in the country (january to march) without being hurricane ridden Florida. Which is why the area is exploding in droves. Mainly into the hills and northeast direction. Biden’s infrastructure bill obviously is taking advantage of the unique, easy-to-build-on terrain. That isn’t 2 feet above sea level, at risk of earthquakes, or in an area bludgeoned by humid and deadly tornadoes. The dark truth about Houston and Dallas is that each have some WEATHER EVENT. Tornadoes, hurricanes, dry 107 degree heat, floods, bitterly dry and long lasting winters. One sits barely above sea level and another is in tornado alley. These are demoralizing realities that make driving unfeasible and wreck people’s plans. Then there’s the issue that their geography is flat, so hiking is a bore, and doesnt have the thrill of hills that you get in a north san antonio neighborhood. San Antonio doesnt have the wildfire-earthquake geo of california, nor the mountainous desert hills, nor the gloomy dry weather. The hills are just the right shaped and the city is misty except for Southwest which is the dry sunny part of town. I’ve always thought of it to be the hybrid of California and Florida. It also has different weather around the city like Los Angeles without being in a desert. (Avoid the taco-loving parts of town, like the inner city.) San Antonio has as many non-local license plates as California. Austin is okay too but it was built plain wrong. You need a car just as much as you do in San Antonio yet it’s tiny there. It’s also much hotter than San Antonio. Austin can be a bit like California where it’s either fun by yourself or with the right companion, but if things go south, you’d rather be in alpha cities LA or San Antonio; not dysfunctional college towns austin san diego or san francisco.

Houston is cool BUT Dallas is sooo much better! I lived in Houston for 7 months from NJ and moved back to NJ. I did not like it and a few years later moved to Dallas and stayed. It's been 10 years now! This is only my opinion!

I just dnt get it Wht people mean when they say Dallas skyline is beautiful, I fail to concur,But I guess a concrete jungle,&& A bunch of LED Lights Nd box buildings just thrown together make a skyline scenic nowadays🤷🏿‍♂️I mean the Big “D” has no Real landmarks or attractions, Or anything tht a tourist would want to photograph unlike Houston where there’s the infamous graffiti park or the Iconic Gerald D.Hines waterwall And can’t forget abt the legendary San jacinto monument which is way taller then the reunion tower in Dallas && Almost twice as taller then the Statue of Liberty,And the tallest in the south && second tallest in the country,Then there’s the prominent mount Rush hour aka the presidential statues park,And Of course we have our version of “THE BEAN” which in my opinion is better then the one in Chicago cuz tht one lays dwn whereas ours stands up And let’s not overlook the Idolized(WE LOVE HOUSTON)sign,Finally! Our beautiful skyline thts captivating by day and even more mesmerizing && futuristic by Night especially from the rooftop of the HTX post standpoint right before the sunsets and kissing the skyline while doing so, look like something directly out of a movie in fact Houston skyline is so beautiful I’m surprised it isn’t featured on a post card yet!Dallas on the other hand has nothing distinctive of its own or nothing tht every other Major city doesn’t already possess!!!

That background music is annoying & unnecessary. You should have interviewed more people who have lived in both cities.

Dallas feels short and stumpy compared to Houston.

if people say Houston is ghetto that is because they hangout in the ghetto parts of the city, and that says more about them than it does about Houston.

Houston is the more iconic city for many different reasons.

even the freeways in dallas look cleaner than the freeways in houston

dallas looks like a cleaner city to me

🤘🏽

I’m from Arkansas and I love Dallas even though i haven’t experienced all of Dallas and I’ve been here almost 10 years

Honestly it depends on what you are looking for, for one houston is much bigger than dallas( thats not including plano, mckinney, the colony etc) houston has culture, nightlife, entrepreneurship is even well in houston and depending on where you live you can get more for your buck when it comes to housing, houston renting wise is also cheaper than dallas. Dallas is great if you want to start a family, corporate America and if you're not into much of anything. I've lived in the city downtown/ kessler park/white rock are since moving to dallas and honestly those are the only areas that i would live in unless i purchase land. In the suburbs everything is the same such as concrete and no greenery,but they are building to where you dont have to come to the city. I think dallas is great place to live but if you want to have fun just travel! Oh and theres always of course someone in celebrity wise in dallas, and if you know the right people you will know to get into the elite clubs that they offer. Just my opinion

Moved from LA to Little Elm,Tx and absolutely love it. I’m a disabled vet and this is by far the #1 state for veterans. Will be buying or building or forever home in either Plano or Frisco

Houston is GHETTO

Beaumont is better than living in Dallas

Parents and I were born in Dallas, moved to California. Now that I have children I’m thinking about moving back to DFW area, but I don’t remember anything about it. This is a helpful video. My biggest concern is the humidity. It’s hot in California July -September so I’m used to heat. (90s -low 100s) Can anyone tell me if it’s very humid in DFW and when it is. To me, high humidity is my skin always feeling wet. 😅

Houston is 🗑️

Never cared for houston dfw is the best metro area in the state & one of the largest in the country

The only thing good about Houston is the cost of living & the weather besides hurricane season lol thats it

Glad I got the chance to experience what Dallas had to really offer before all the mass migration. I was living there in 2012 when people from other states thought it was cowboys and indians. They called me crazy for living there then. Now look at everyone lol I'm glad I never followed the crowd because people in Texas now that aren't originally from there don't know what the real Texas really was!

I've been in Houston all of my days and constantly here people from Dallas comparing it to Houston. I have never ever once heard anybody from Houston even mention Dallas in a conversation.

Its funny when I hear people from Chicago say Dallas is racist when Chi Town is one of the most segregate cities in America or they say California which is another very segregated city and racist at that...one dude from Arkansas said same thing..am like yeah right dude get hell oit of here with that.

Houston’s just ghetto for me. And I’m from Houston. It’s a flat swampy ghetto. It’s just a city built around car centrism and lack of zoning. It has deep culture and arts but it’s boring tbh. Just food and clubs. I feel like Dallas is more urban. They have a large and robust public rail system and everything feels more densely centered. People always seem to be on the go. They have a far more diverse economy allowing for that fast paced lifestyle, while Houston’s more of an oil and blue collar city. Dallas is like a mini LA. A lot of suburbs and neighborhoods and it’s like one big salad bowl. Whereas Houston’s a place where everything is tossed together

Houston - better city Dallas area - better suburbs Dallas is better for your career as they have more options due to a more diverse economy, more order and cleaner. Houston is better for social life with more diversity in people and culture. Both are more similar to each other than they are different. Both are hot but Dallas is slightly more drier resulting in higher temperatures. Houston is more humid, swampy, and rainy.

Dallas is getting more expensive. However, Austin is even more expensive than Dallas and Houston.

Dallas wasn’t as expensive until pl started moving in flocks now dfw is has the highest inflation in the country. Of course politics play a part but it’s mostly bc the influx of ppl here

Austin shits on both when it comes to food and things to do. I grew up in DFW and it's just a pig with makeup slapped on vs the reverse in Austin. A shit-looking place in Austin has the best food, go to some "aesthetic" place in Dallas and guaranteed flavorless food (*cough Vidorra). Recently north of Dallas; Plano, the colony and Frisco has more chill stuff. More asian food, more upscale chain stuff and better shopping. I don't know shit about Houston, I been once, just like dallas to me. Loved the Renaissance fair out there though. One of the things I will give DFW over most places is the big craft brewery scene, we have a lot of options and that is a pretty redeeming quality.

Hi Marquez, my daughter is interested in moving there from the St. Louis rural area so the crime there is a little less than here. But we live in rural parts so we want to avoid those type of areas. We see several affordable homes though the app. and my daughter has a couple of friends that say we should move there. I've lived in a few states in the country and knew it's best to visit before moving cause what others think is different from what I think. But with our budget we can't afford to do so. Can you do a video on which areas to avoid? I'm pretty sure most of those houses are on that affordable housing list.

Dallas mfs jealous of houston

Houston is the shxt. Im 43 born and raised and anybody who is not from Houston can NEVER see the whole City and the surrounding suburbs bc ive always loved to ride for decades and im still discovering new communities and spots. Traffic is super bad at certain times of the day but if you know the city you can get around it. 🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽

Neither

Are people short in Texas or is he just tall

I’m from Houston and I love both.

I think dallas is more progressive than Houston. For one , dallas has the largest light rail system in America…Houston’s rail only goes downtown . Houston is too big for that .

Texas is still flat and wider. All the big cities have traffic everywhere galore. Food wise, I guess be your own chef! Career wise, I’ll say it’s a tie. Depends on what you do want. The only states I’ve ever seen so much diversity is California, GA & TX. Oh yeah & Chicago. Everyone is bias to a degree. 😂 everyone needs to find their happy! We’re in the south, it floods everywhere and no one knows how to drive. 2 states with the most terrible drivers are GA & FL. This isn’t a debate! 🤣 + Canada.

As someone who's lived in both, half these folk are showing they havent really spent time in one or the either. 🤦🏽‍♀️

The California liberals are trying hard to change our conservative ways.

Just moved to Texas from Georgia and I’m in a culture shock. EVERYBODY here says the “N” word. Mexicans, Whites, Chinese, etc. It is VERY disturbing bcuz I’m not used to hearing other races say that word freely. I’ve lived in Florida and Alabama as well and never heard other races say it. Where I’m from you get beat up or killed if you say that word and you are not black.

Ion know, I sense some bias tailored answers. I'm from cali but live in Houston, I drive Uber, and I pick up people from Dallas often that's here to party, and they give me a different perspective. Few have even said they're moving here cause it's cheaper with a better social life and a taste of every different culture you want to experience. Houston is hotter than Dallas but that just makes for better winters for those of us that like to be OUTSIDE in my opinion.

He ain’t lying. Sweet Georgia Browns is definitely trash

in my opinion i think Dallas is better because u have everything u need here Nightlife oppurtunities ect also I like Cold weather and in houston it stays warm all year round while in Dallas it Snows and has nice Cool Fall seasons🍁
