Most of the people who won't let you over are new here and haven't adjusted to our laid back attitude. Believe it or not there are low traffic areas, but everyone wants to live on the West and South West side of town. Most natives don't venture out 11a.m. to at least 2 p.m. Great to have you here. I'm definitely going to check out more of your videos.

[@ms.vance_]

I love this! I moved to Houston 8 months ago. I was staying in the Katy area and I had to drive to the north side everyday for work! That traffic killed me and people can not drive. I develop road rage when I moved down here. I am from Detroit, so traffic is not that bad as it is down here. The tolls...oh I am not paying tolls. Lol I turned that thing on when i first moved down here. This video was very informational.

@Zanda Williams it’s is very hard to find a good job or any job for that matter with a criminal background. The best advice I can give you is to go into business for yourself. Learn a new skill or a trade that way you can make your own income. Real estate investing, barbering, hairstyling, fashion styling, bartending, being a make up artist, these are just a few that come to mind.

[@hddun]

@@LeeLivinLife Zanda, you should look at construction work. My Dad had a construction company and those people are real forgiving--my Dad had several African American men and some with criminal backgrounds--he didn't care if they wanted to work. The work can be hard but the money is BIG. I suggest go to a local Electricians Union office and get into there Certification program. A Union Electrician in Houston makes about $20 an hour starting pay. Welders do well to but you have to go to a trade school. Many of these schools are part of the governments re-training and you will get paid to train.

[@hddun]

@Zanda Williams Zanda, I suggest you look for construction work. It pays good and they don't look too hard at a person's background. My Dad had a contruction company and hired ex-convicts. They were good employees and showed up regular. I suggest you research some Union programs for training. Many skills like welding are in such demand--they PAY YOU to train. And when you finish the training they can help with job hunting. There are lots of skilled jobs in Houston, there are huge construction projects going on in the Petro-Chemical complex on the eastside of downtown. Houston is the world capital of chemical and refining plants so it takes a lot of welders, carpenters, electrician, fitters, etc. The pay for non-college guys is good because living costs around Houston are low. Example: Gas prices are about $1.70 per gallon. Apt rents start about $600 per month. Here is something I pulled for you for welders from the Baytown (20 miles east of Houston) job board: www.ziprecruiter.com/Salaries/Combo-Welder-Salary-in-Baytown,TX houston.altierus.edu/electrical-construction-technician Good luck. Keep your chin up. Everyone needs a fresh start--you can do this!! God Bless you my friend...

[@hddun]

@Zanda Williams I would think so. Big construction jobs have several types of workers--skilled like electricians, book keepers who keep track of what is being shipped on to the site / they also keep the hours for the crews / common work (this can be pretty hard--around here there are a lot of common labor workers but seems many of them are Hispanic and kinda just show up here to work--if you get my drift. I would check into the Texas Workforce Commission which has training that will pay you while you do training. They have offices all over Houston. But what I know is most of the big projects are on the eastside of the metro area--real big like 5 year projects. If you are coming to Houston, I gotta tell you its a "car city" like LA. So if you don't drive, find the bus routes over the area. Or locate to the following surrounding cities: Channel View, Texas City, Baytown, Deer Park. All these places surround Houston and with a car they are about 45 min to an Hour in peak but only 35-45 min off peak traffic (we have a good freeway system). www.twc.texas.gov/

[@hddun]

Anthony, the worst thing about H-Town is the summer heat--about 90-95 each day from June thru much of Sept. But winters are very nice. And ame$nities here are budget priced. If you plan to own a home you will find that a home that fits your budget unlike LA. No state income tax. Gasoline prices are about $1.70 to $1.90 per gallon. Auto fees I have a Lexus 2018 and its $80 for annual registration. Rentals run about $600 mo for a 400 sq. one BR to about $1200 mo for top drawer type apt. I golf every week. Local city courses charge less than $40 for a round. Lots of people here are young people from all over since the major employment is in Medical, sciences, and energy much of it in engineering.

[@AnthonyOTooleMusic]

@@hddun Damn, thank you for the detailed response!! I don’t have a car and I don’t mind heat at all.

[@hddun]

@@AnthonyOTooleMusic Anthony, if you don't have a car, I suggest that when you come here to look for lodging inside of LOOP 610. Its the old Freeway loop around Houston. The best part of that is the West / Southwest areas. Going to east side gets a bit "seedy" -- its old industrial over there. For just walking and bicycles check out the area around Rice University. Its like a small college town in the middle of a big city. Its not real collegegiate in many ways--since its a small engineering oriented school its not about Frats and the social stuff of other small schools--its nerdy but in a good way. If you have already lined up a job, you may not have too much of an option. Like LA, cars dominate Houston commuting. The bus and rail transit are OK but nothing like the East Coast citie--I used to work in NY and was taken by the trains and subway systems up there. Hope that helps. Mainly if you are working here try to be close to where you will live or vice versa. If you are looking for work, the best opportunities here are in Medical, research in bio-medicai, and IT. Oil and Gas were good but the market crashed with the cuts to airlines and commuting as well as the move to EV's. Good Luck.

Montrose it smack in the middle of every thing and close to shopping, entertainment, bars, jobs (downtown is only 15 minutes by bus or Galleria about 15 minutes west by bus). You probably know its a Rainbow area so have an open mind. The culture in Houston is very open -- my view because its a seaport open to the world--several hundred thousand people here are Ex-Pats from all countries in the world.

The parking thing is just in Midtown/Washington/Downtown. Otherwise Houston has super lax rules about parking. Parking in Montrose or river oaks isn't really ever a problem. And even in midtown and stuff you eventually find all the free places to park if you go out enough. Also I feel like with the whole getting over thing; having grown up driving in Houston, I think most drivers just expect you to be aggressive and just go for it like you said.

Dope video thinking about relocating there

[@Indeedjj]

Very informative brother. I’m moving to hunters creek village area from saint louis, mo. Wish me luck

[@hddun]

Good luck Larry. I live near HCV. Very nice area. The lots in our neighborhood are amazing. I have several 30 ft tall trees and a greenbelt running along Buffalo Bayou. Biggest downer is that my property taxes have increased along with the housing prices in this area. You will like the winter here--I play golf weekly and there are dozens of courses so we get a variety. The green fees (if you golf) run about $30 to $60. I used to belong to a prime country club but after retiring, I don't need the amenities of that so I 'm now just playing all over Houston. But if you dont golf, there is tennis, sport fishing (when I moved here from Dallas, guys invited me to go out to deepwater fishing. I had never done that and its an experience!. Out about 5 miles the water is crystal clear. Enjoy we have much to do here besides work.

Do anyone know about NW Houston and if it’s safe?

[@delrushing251]

I almost got upset when he said Southwest houston is ghetto 😂😂 forgetting that I live in the SW Outskirts (league city, Friendswood Webster)

[@michaeljozwiak5716]

League City, Friendswood and Webster is southeast of Houston. I think when he says southwest Houston, he means inside the Houston city limits like the Fondren area. It can be dicey in that area, but I never had any problems.

[@BenitoCBlanco]

Def check out the Galleria area moving and then head East on Westheimer rd going towards Montrose.

You would like to check out the Etro Lounge, its a cool bar that I like to go to.

It’s three years now. Did you move to Houston? I’ve been looking for a comment from a Nyer. How we live is different from the rest of the country. So I need to see a New Yorkers point of view. Can you please let me know what your experience is and if you did finally move to Houston.

does anybody have an idea of how the autism services are in Tx ? family and i are considering moving down there, but i have a sister with autism, so we're trying to gather up info. is there personal care assistance or an equivalent of that down there ? can relatives be p.c.a. / work as care-takers ?

[@dnh31tlg10too]

We (me and 35y/o autistic neice) moved to Houston in 2016 from Michigan. It is very difficult. I jumped through hoops, begged/pleaded, called on every vet organization here to get my niece enrolled at Baylor Transition Medicine clinic; they specifically specialize in treating adults that are IDD. I am continuously taking classes to understand autism, caregiving, mental health disorders etc.; in order to be better equipped to handle my niece’s needs. If your sister is an adult then services are ALMOST nonexistent, the services that you’ll need for respite/rest for yourself (or the caregiver) requires additional assistance that is DECADES long on a waitlist (Harris Center for Mental Health and Intellectual and Developmental Disability Services interest list). All local parents/caretakers of disabled children are told to get on this list so that by the time the child ages out into adulthood; their ‘number’ on the waitlist should be called. This list moves based on funding, so this is also why it may take so long to move. I am a retired military veteran that experiences regular uphill battles trying to get her the services that we need. I am her caregiver, but she only receives Medicare and they cover nothing! I have to pay for ancillary services out of pocket; I cannot establish her an health savings account because of the stipulations of her receiving SSDI. Meaning, I can’t even claim all of these extra expenses on my taxes. Examples of things I pay for: speech therapy, doctor recommended vitamins, social outings with her peers, transportation to/from medical/mental health appointments. Trust me, there are more monthly expenses, I just can’t remember them all. These costs add up and are not reimburse-able. I learn of new enrollment opportunities every couple of months because of my out going and friendly nature; being a military vet helps exceedingly too. I’m slowly able to give my niece the things she deserves by being patient, tenacious and being retired helps. Getting her set up is my full time job. Another downside to her moving here with me; we are alone, family is all back home in Michigan (they are really struggling themselves, which is how she came to live with me). I am forced to rely on state funded/veteran organization’s generosity, because MEDICAID pays for nothing and I pay for everything that her SSDI check does not. I subsidize her housing, food, transportation, utilities, toiletries, clothing, vacations, social activities, hobbies, etc. It truly is a labor of love. In 2021, I was finally able to get an affordable (to me, since I have to pay out of pocket) mini-vacation from being a full-time caregiver. It was wonderful. To answer an unasked question: was it worth it to move here? I moved here as a single, retired vet. Bought a beautiful, and affordable home well before I became a caregiver. Moving now is NOT an option. I am slowly making lemonade out of lemons. I hope my experiences help you to be able to make a more nuanced and thoughtful decision. Write back if this helps. Good Luck 👍🏾

LMAO @ Guys, there NOT gonna let you over! Deadass...

[@suadela87]

[@pocahontas4583]

This is true. We don’t drive like that in Chicago... I guess that’s Houston’s “southern hospitality”. I had to learn that you have to move over THEN put your signal on. Funny story once someone let me over, I was shocked and after I got over I looked at the plates and noticed they were from Illinois 😉

[@314Poppie]

What do you think about the Stafford area ? I plan on staying there & going to UT

[@BenitoCBlanco]

Stafford is kind of quiet. You never really hear about to much going on over there in Houston that can be a good thing. It’s not close to anything but you are close to 69 traffic lol and the beltway which is great. The Sugarland town center is nearby as well for shopping and eating out that’s more family oriented

Southwest to Houston is not the hood it is the heart of Houston Southwest and Katy area is not the hood at all if you want to go to the hood go to 5th Ward. Even the galleria area is on the Southwest. I don't like it when people that are not from Texas try to tell other people about our state. But I do like how you acknowledge Breonna Taylor, God bless you for that

My experience. I worked in the Fondren/Westbury area and that area is hood! Period!

@@LeeLivinLife because it is sweetheart. Fondren, alief, third ward, fifth ward, acres homes, south park/mlk, homestead, and parts of mo city (missouri city for those that don't live here) are all hoods. Idk what this person talking about. Great video boo 💙

[@arianaracquel2521]

True! The nicest parts and the worst parts are on the southwest side. And those same streets he mentioned are long streets that turn into nice areas 🤣 Lmao & the medical district gets ghetto too, esp when you hit OST, Buffalo speedway, Kirby, 610 E area… I lived in a condo in TMD by Herman Park and all the hood ppl were right down the street at Carringtons & The Address every weekend! 🤣
