It was easy driving almost all over the United States including the outskirts of Texas until I got into Dallas. Road construction is a never-ending thing, but I don't think they improve the situation, but have turned it into a nightmare... multiple loops...roads with four lanes.. getting stuck on toll roads....missing an exit and having to spend 10+ minutes trying to correct the mistake.

[@xfhghe]

Dallas and Texas in general has geography as an advantage over other parts of the country. It's centrally located, it doesn't snow, and it's flat. Now flat may be boring, but it makes home building a whole lot easier and cheaper. The availability and cost of land is the biggest factor in the cost of homes. Homes use to be affordable in Southern California, before we built over all the orange groves and strawberry fields. Plus we have mountains. But Texas is one great big state. And it's nearly all flat. So you've got a long way to go before you run out of building space. Good luck with your growth!

The music scene here is crazy and the jobs are endless. The suburbs of Dallas, especially Irving, are exploding with new Houses and highway systems. The city is open to any political opinion as you have a peaceful mix of Liberals and Conservatives. Rich in Hispanic culture and African American culture as well. Museums and amusement parks are abundant as well. Fort Worth is a half hour away and have fantastic restaurants as well. Literally anything you can think of. Dallas has it.

Go just east of Dallas and you will find out what wet heat is. The most hot I have ever been is in Georgia. You sit in the shade there and your clothes get wet with you not even walking around. In Atlanta you get out of the car and walk half a block and sweat is running down you back side.

@Hello Jack Prycee, How are you doing?

[@tritosac]

I've lived in Dallas for over 40 years. It's not what it use to be. Dallas doesn't really feel like it's part of Texas anymore. Too many yankee transplants moving here changing the demographics. Not many people say "howdy". They did when I was growing up but I hear less and less of a southern drawl than before. All these developers from CA are moving in driving up the prices of properties in my area. They tear down houses that have been here for decades and build their identical mcmansions everywhere. I may have to move out of my house in the next 3 to 5 years because property taxes are becoming unbearable. I own my home outright and now I pay more than twice what I paid when I first moved into my home in property taxes. Lot's of liberals work for the appraisal district and I imagine many of them moved here from other states. Damn transplants. I want to stay in Texas but I need to go someplace where Texas is still TEXAS. Maybe El Paso would be better. Now that's where you will find "DRY HEAT". Dallas is not "DRY HEAT". You're so off on that comment.

I agree with you, the taxes were always meant to have been manageable as house prices used to be low, but with the values of houses skyrocketing, the tax rate has become lopsided and unbearable.

Basically, you'll want to stick between I-30/US 80 and US 380 and east of TX 360. As for Denton, it's a nice place, but it is a college town, and it shows. Lots of student housing, and a cultural landscape dominated by the two colleges in town (mostly UNT, but TWU to a lesser extent). If you know anything about Austin, that's basically Denton, but smaller.

You must not understand how things work "mof ucka." What about DFW humbles you anyway? If your talking about the nice people, they had to move away for health reasons. Now it's a cesspool. If anything don't move to DFW because it's not safe for your health. Yes people are very stupid to think that DFW is some escape. Austin is already bursting at the seams with Californians. The truth is we're running out of land, and with the city's filling up and over flowing this entire country will eventually be one giant city. Really pisses me off that so many people are still having kids on purpose knowing this. I left DFW 2 years ago because drugs, general crime and murder were everywhere. I couldn't even go to the grocery store with out something insane happening in town.The law enforcement has been dirty for decades. Most of the cops (Not all) are drug fueled killers. They will absolutely break the law and do what ever they want whenever they want. And get away with it. Rent for rich people is cheap but if you make under 20 an hour you'll starve pal and if you don't want to penny pinch and have fun here you better make big bucks. Minimum wage is still $7.25 and the cost of living is only low compared to those living in NY or Paris btw. It's the poor rich mans town. The roads/traffic is worse than ever because of road rage is on the rise. I had a gun pointed at me more than once in a single year and that seamed to be nut jobs who were running everyone off the road. Check the local news, it's all death corruption and murder. lol Look up the "Wild dog" problem in Dallas. The packs of wild dogs running the streets have killed. You'll also be smack dab in the middle of one of the biggest and oldest hot spots for fracing. People there are very very sick. They mention us in both of the Gas Land docs. Heck I've seen them frack up against the high rises in down town. They do put up sound proof panels to be polite so I guess that's a plus. Not to mention the fault line that goes right under the middle of DFW that they are fracing, so now there are earthquakes...So you have that to look forward to. Oh yeah the weather is some of the most extreme weather on this planet in north Texas. Sure it's MOSTLY a dry heat but when it's 117 degrees like 100 days in a row and you start to feel like you have radiation poisoning and are going blind and the people on the tv come on and tell you not to go outside, the Humidity doesn't matter. Alot of Aussies call North Texas home because the landscape and environment are so similar to Australia, except our Tornadoes and Smog. Heath insurance is unattainable if your employer doesn't provide it and most places that pay under 20 dollars an hour do not. Even if you have insurance, the care that's provided is usually shit. They also have some of the best health care if you've got moola comin' out your wazoo. Every part of society is corrupted there. God forbid you hit a little snag in your life while living in DFW because there will not be help and they will destroy you. I'm actually from there, I love the land but it's destroyed and the people are insane and violent. I live in the middle of no where and never leave my house because of the horrors I've witnessed all my life there. Sure it's bad everywhere, but every aspect of your life will be different if you've never lived in North Texas before and suddenly move there. Dallas has the highest number of people living 185 percent below the poverty line of any American city and the second highest number of people living 100 percent below the poverty line. Dallas’ median income has declined since 1989. Over half of Dallas households make less than $50,000 per year, and 28.6 percent make less than $25,000. Less than 20 percent of jobs are accessible by transit in less than 90 minutes, and more than 70 percent of HUD assisted properties are unaffordable when housing and transportation costs are combined. Over 27,300 residents live in poverty despite having full-time employment. Compared with other Texas cities, Dallas has the highest percentage of individuals without a high school diploma and the lowest percentage of residents who hold college degree. 48 percent of single mothers in Dallas live in poverty. Five zip codes in southern Dallas, west Dallas, and northwest Dallas have teen birth rates similar to Burkina Faso, the Gambia, and Somalia. 38 percent of Dallas children live in poverty, 20 percent have no health insurance, 28 percent have inadequate food and nutrition, 160,000 children are obese, and 60,000 have asthma.

I didn't realize their public transportation system was as good as you pointed out -- good to know. The bugs can be HUGE however and even with their gigantic size, they still run for cover into the baseboards as I horrifyingly witnessed in a Ft. Worth gas station restroom one time.

Regarding that story regarding money, I had a small conversation with a retired elementary school teacher at Panera as I was finishing her order, she told me some insights on how people teached. In some of her last few years as a teacher she informed me that she was told by the principle and higher ups to not worry about teaching children how to count money. That would reflect on me regarding a situation I had in High school. My Senior year of high school I took a class on how to get yourself a job, many of the students did not know how to count money on some of the tests. I felt stupider on the inside seeing that situation unfold.
