Dont buy a home unless necessary for financial investment. Wait until you have a family. Search for the lowest priced home in the best neighborhood, with great schools. Easier to resale. Or rent, if you must relocate (local region) for employment. If you cannot learn correctly repair 90% of home items, do not buy a home. Sweat equity is REQUIRED to be a home owner.

The cost of living is low, the city is trying to bring in attractions, we have a great zoo, baseball team, soccer team, amazing hiking trails, an international airport, opportunities for all sorts of cycling/5k/triathlons, and a symphony! The summer can be brutal but I treat it like a midwestern winter - just limit your time outside and be proactive with sunscreen. My only “complaint” about the area is that there is relatively low diversity in industries. There’s the Army at Fort Bliss, medical careers, and the service industry.

Regional population (both sides of the border) is closing in on at least 4 million. 2. Everyone who lives near El Paso but not in it - towns like Alamogordo - hate El Paso and think it is a gross border town. In reality, it is far cleaner and safer than cities of comparable sizes such as Albuquerque. 3. Perhaps unique among American cities of nearly a million people, El Paso is keeping ahead of population growth by building roads before new subdivisions appear.

Briggs, in the map for Oklahoma City, you highlighted Tulsa instead. Can't tell if that was one of your "jokes" to stir up the audience or a plain mistake.

The Alamo is very small compared to? it was back in the day. The Ladies of the Alamo should have made it to the right size, and rented the rooms out to keep it up. I guess it is ok like it is but I was sure disappointed having lived in Goliad near the missions located around the area. Now those are nice, big places,
