[@British_monarchist]

I hate this place. I’ve lived here all my life. And I can honestly say there is nothing worth living for here

[@twistedspine7300]

honestly with that attitude you will be unhappy anywhere you go

[@ANNA-sd5ys]

This is a great place. I was raised here. But left my husband was military. Came back to finish raising my family. They are grown and gone . It is a medical mecca as we are older now. Big enough but small enough at the same time.

[@scottyunbooed]

nothing holding you back from creating a better living situation but your own attitude. You are free to exit the loop at any time.

[@GarrettOBeirne]

It’s not the greatest not the worst. It’s your own fault for not having anything to live for though. Get a pet you love. Find a hobby. Make some art. Find good friends

[@susanwierzba4472]

THEN LEAVE!

[@twistedspine7300]

since i'm from california i love the dry climate because i was dreading having to move somewhere affordable that was very humid. i love the summer thunderstorms and crazy lightning we get once in a while, and i love that we get just enough snow to enjoy (1-2 snows in the winter seems normal) without it being burdensome. i didn't grow up in the snow so i love that. i even like the wind. i personally think the only negative about the weather is the dust that gets blown around. also, i have to make a comment about the trash. some of it is because of the wind, but i have to admit that i've never been to a place where people litter more than here. i wish people wouldn't do that.

[@naimnasir-ur9zf]

When you go around, asking people who only look like you and think like you, this doesn’t even remain valid anymore.

[@bopbopskillz]

Coming here from Houston, I just want to say that I love how we virtually have no traffic. With that being said, yall's driving is questionable. Please do everything faster. Merging onto the highway, changing lanes, and letting someone in or not are all things that need to be done quickly, not slowly. I fear for my life every time I get onto 289 from Quaker and there's 4 cars doing 50mph up the onramp while Chad in his F350 is going 90 in the right lane. Speed doesn't kill, the rapid change in speed does!

[@Mike_Martian]

where u gonna go though, who cares if theres no traffic,. people are excited cause they can drive to the grocery store in 10 min, lol im like big whoop

[@ILG-em9ui]

It really depends where you are moving from whether you'll like it or not. If you are moving from a city or area that had a lot of things, you might not adapt well in Lubbock. The biggest peeve I have about Lubbock is the lack of healthy eats. There's a reason there are pharmacies and doctor offices on every corner.

[@twistedspine7300]

i really don't think a healthy lifestyle has much to do with public restaurant options. barbecue in and of itself is not unhealthy if you aren't smothering the meat with sauces. you could eat bbq every day and maintain or lose weight if you stuck to the beef and chicken and just avoided the baked potato casserole and beer. a healthy lifestyle really only happens at home where you have much more control over the food intake and choices.

[@mommabear5059]

Totally agree. Would love some more healthy restaurant options.

[@ILG-em9ui]

If people demanded healthier food menus, it would happen. Sadly, folks out here demand fried foods, sugary foods and drinks, and balk at salads. I've seen it. People see veggies chopped up and ask, "What's that!?" "Just a tiny bit of veggies." Where I come from, the demand for healthier food has led to better menu choices.

[@TheDistingueOne]

It would also be nice if healthier foods were not twice the cost of unhealthy foods. It has always irritated me that eating healthy costs so much more.

[@toniboyer3322]

I dont know how popular of an opinion this will be, but me and my family live in Tech Terrance area. We love it. There tend to be a lot of loud parties at times being that we are so close to Tech, but its got an atmosphere that ive not found in any other neighborhood in Lubbock. I miss the special Christmas activities that were here pre Covid like horse drawn carriage rides, nice celebration near what is now food king and the coffee shop...some ofvthe other shops would have family activities and hot cocoa with smores...so miss that. I love being able to walk a short distance for groceries or restaurants or health care. I just fell in love with the neighborhood and have no plan to move. Raised my daughter here and walking distance to two of her schools til shr went to Lubbock high. ❤

[@louisalvarado9066]

I was born and raised in Lubbock, I moved to Denver, Colorado in 95. If ur white, u will fit in, if ur not then expect to get low paying job. Extremely prejudice.

[@vanessa39308]

I’ve been confused about what people mean by dust and dirt, because on our recent trip to Lubbock I was stunned at how clean everything was. It only just dawned on me that what I thought was dust here in SoCal is really just smog. Everything has a coating of sticky black soot, probably mixed with dust as well. I’d like to see what dust is like without the grime. 😅

[@LubbockLiving]

Fortunately we don’t have any of that 😅

[@bopbopskillz]

It gets really windy and much dustier around March-May

[@JawlessEel]

Dust from the shallow grave the cartel digs in the cotton fields after your robbed lol

[@MrAllen-fv9cj]

I know you're a Lubbock guy, but would you be able to do a video or two focusing on the Amarillo/Canyon area if possible in the future? Thanks!

[@LubbockLiving]

That's a great idea- I will work on it!

[@butpookie]

It’s sometimes shocking to see my town in a video and getting attention! Love from Lubbock! ❤️

[@med77m26]

What a joke .. the only good thing that was positive and true about this video is that Whiteside is a great school ! Crime is horrible everywhere and getting worse dusty, expensive and nothing to do. The cartels are here and there are constant gang crimes and drugs. I lived in the best safest neighborhood in Lubbock and ended up getting shot and disabled because of a gang! They are struggling to keep enough police to protect and serve. Expensive water cost, rent, and house prices!

[@missajabebe]

Thank you for your videos! I plan on visiting soon to see if this is the place for me.

[@LubbockLiving]

That’s great!! :)

[@SlashinatorZ]

Damn even Lubbock has more of a sense of community than suburban Houston. In the suburbs of Houston theres none of this sense of community or knowing your neighbors. In my rural neighborhood most of us have never met each other.

[@superdaveozy7863]

I was born in Dallas, and moved to lubbock in 1989, dad got a job at Texas Instruments. I do like the cheaper real estate. Bought my home for 170k.

[@americusdeville865]

Good people in Lubbock. Very articulate and grounded. The city has a lot of desirable attributes.

[@TheDistingueOne]

Lived here all my life and would not live anywhere else. I have visited lots of places much larger than Lubbock and while they may have more to do in those larger areas, the people are just no where near as friendly. I hate the traffic in larger cities and Lubbock traffic is not bad at all. Every place has bad drivers so you will always run into that. If you are single and young, not going to college, I hear it is not great but, I don't think the city advertises itself for that demographic really. If you attend college, I have heard it is great and It is great for young/older families. The cost of living is just about unbeatable. It is really dry and the dirt blows from time to time but, usually only from late fall to late winter and if is rare we have full on dust storms. Summers are not windy though, and are hot/dry. Luckily we have gotten quite a bit of rain this year. Plenty of restaurants, places to see a movie, play golf, take kids to for a family day. If you are into the outdoor life, Palo Duro is about 80 miles or so north and the mountains are just a few hours away to the west. Not a bad place to live at all.

[@JawlessEel]

STAY OUT OF LOWBUCK TEXAS IF YOU WANT TO BE SUCCESSFUL

Lived here all my life, got a great career with great people. Wife and I make plenty to live a comfortable life. Sorry you did not experience the same.

[@MatthewHarrisLawPLLC]

I love the Haboobs that we get here in Lubbock! I'm going to put up a billboard that says "Welcome to West Texas, where the wind keeps the wimps away!" People who can't handle the wind, dirt, and grit always end up moving back to Austin or California. 😂

[@Kristoferwitha_k]

F Lubbock. Worst weather in the country, it's really really boring and isolated and the people are closed-minded and there's nothing to do. And that was before I lived in Rio. Lol. Now..... If those people only knew what they were missing they would never ever ever ever stay there. And then I'm told, well at least it's affordable. I'm paying a third of what I'm paid when I live there and I'm having the time of my life and I can afford to eat out for just about every meal and I have personal chef and someone who cleans for me and I can get my massages twice a week and the most beautiful women on the planet for $2,500 a month

[@mslopez8034]

I keep reading about how unsafe Lubbock is, so much vehicle thefts and burglary, can anyone confirm this please?

[@scottyunbooed]

crime is relative to where you are in town. East and southeast have disproportionate rate due to income disparity to the west and southwest side and because of dominant rental vs home ownership. most of the more major crimes are not randomly committed; suspects and victims have some sort of relationship that causes the crime.

[@martinone9]

Most violent crime is not random.

[@superdaveozy7863]

Overton area before the reconstruction was a hive of crime and drugs up to the late 1990s.

[@FlavorFlav24]

It doesn’t matter where you live in town lol. I loved in a nice neighborhood and got my home robbed and my dog was beat and everything was stolen and LPD didn’t arrive until 2 and a half hours later.

I spent a lot of time there. I didn’t hate it, and the amenities are there, it just wasn’t for me. I had to leave because my allergies were terrible there. I passed out many times how bad it was. I live far away now and probably won’t visit again, but I miss it from time to time. Couldn’t live there though.

[@FlavorFlav24]

How do these people say it’s not dangerous? I’ve lived here all my life and am 25 and got my house robbed my dog beat, I got robbed at gun point, and I’ve been shot at and almost lost my life and ended up with 2 bullet holes in my car all because I sold something on fb marketplace and they gave me $200 in fake money and I called then out on it and like 10 Mexicans ran up on me and while I was driving off they shot at me. I was completely unarmed and made no threats to them I just wanted my money. And when my house got robbed and they took everything and they beat my dog LPD took 2 and a half hours to get to my house when the police station is less than 10 minutes away.

[@mommabear5059]

Sheesh, what neighborhood do you live in? I need to stay away from there.

@@mommabear5059 When I got my place robbed I lived in some duplexes across the street from the Lubbock Christian high school baseball field and the old golf course off of Frankford. And when I got robbed at gun point I was outside of the Wingstop on slide and the south loop and it was 9pm.
