[@LegendmakerLyceum]

I'm a McKinney resident with kids in the Frisco school system because we're on an arm of McKinney that borders Frisco near Coit and El Dorado. The school systems are the reason we live here. I was born in Kansas and after that lived all over the country, mainly because of the conditions of my family and after I was an adult due to job opportunities that I was chasing. So I only lived in Kansas for the first year of my life, and as a baby was moved to Connecticut. I was then moved to Colorado for 2nd - 6th grade, Wyoming for 7th grade - Senior high school, Texas for my first undergraduate degree at UNT in Denton, then Florida (where I started a company at Universal Studios Florida in Orlando), New York (where I fell backward into the internet business), Massachusetts (where I was mostly broke), Pennsylvania (which bounced me around) and finally back to Texas on a job relocation. I am saying all this because the Plano / Frisco area is the greatest shopping spot of anywhere I ever lived, and has BY FAR the best school system. There are a few bad schools to be sure, mainly caused by bad management, but in general, the public schools will TEACH kids, not indoctrinate them. Even before I moved here, everyone I spoke to in the Northeast, even foreigners, had heard of "Plano, TX" as having one of the best school systems in the country, and Frisco is the new Plano, and McKinney & Prosper are the new Friscos. If you like shopping, there is no better place than the Stonebriar district of Frisco. Literally nowhere. There are more stores here than anywhere I've ever seen, and that includes places like King of Prussia Mall where I used to go, which boasts being the 2nd biggest mall in the US, but you need a heart pacemaker to access it on their ridiculous highway system there. Stonebriar is nestled in the intersections of the Dallas Tollway (a major artery into Dallas that forms a "V" with 75) and 121 or the "George W. Bush" tollway which connects McKinney to the DFW airport. Incidentally, the Frisco area is only about 30 minutes drive to the DFW airport and also to Love Field, so you have lots of choices to fly from here, and you don't hear much air traffic. (I used to though, before COVID, but nowadays the air traffic patterns changed after the lockdowns.) Anyway that's my two-cent amendment from a humble local (but non-native) resident of Texas!

I was going to say the same thing. All too often, people move to escape their crappy communities/states but they don't stop to do some deep thinking as to why their old lives had deteriorated to the point they couldn't stand living there any longer and had to move. Immediately, they continue to voice the same-ol' liberal, idioticly cult-like democrat policies and vote in like-minded shit-for-brains politicians that make laws based on soy-fueled emotions and a lack of basic research rather than truth, sound reasoning that may not always be popular with the loudmouth minority and THE CONSTITUTION OF THE USA. Thus, another one bites the dust and a once thriving community/state that people flocked too becomes another Commifornia or The People's Republic of Washingstan. ***WHEN YOU MOVE TO A NEW AND BETTER COMMUNITY, IT'S BETTER THAT YOU CONFORM TO YOUR NEW SURROUNDINGS, AND LET YOUR NEIGHBORS THINK YOU'VE GOT A GOOD HEAD ON YOUR SHOULDERS. RATHER THAN SHOW YOUR PROGRESSIVE SIDE, AND NOT BE INVITED TO LOCAL BBQs, BE THOUGHT OF AS A POMPOUS ASS-HAT AND A HATED CONTRIBUTER TO THE DESTRUCTION OF ANOTHER GREAT AMERICAN COMMUNITY AND/OR STATE!!!!! - If you're in the Lubbock area and are progressive wanting to move to a place you might consider a utopia for liberal ass-hats, I'll trade you. You come to The People's Republic of Washingstan State with your family and mine will come to Texas and PROUDLY assimilate, attend church, umpire little league, join or add to the local business community, clean guns in our spare time (because practice makes perfect...sense) and hopefully leave Texas a cleaner, freer and friendlier state with each passing generation. As the memory of once being a native Washingtonian fades and is replaced with growing Texan pride, you and yours can enjoy the (truly BEAUTIFUL) Pacific Northwest, ban all the guns you can, enjoy paying some of the highest gas prices in the country, embrace the outlawing of new combustion engine vehicles in 2030, genderless public school bathrooms, NAMBLA lobbyist, Subarus, birkenstocks, proud women with hairy legs and armpits and public recreation areas that limit you to berry picking and tree hugging. Better leave your ORVs in Texas and I'll take good care of them for you. P.S. I recommend practicing being a helicopter parent and resisting any urge you may have to develope masculinity and a sense of individualism in your sons. They'll be hated by the education system. @randykelso4079

He didnt touch up on East Texas.. so if youre curious, East Texas is very rural and is similar to West Texas in its urban-rural divide and politics. It greatly differe from West Texas in its climate, geography, and culture. East Texas is very wooded and gets quite a bit of rain. You have two main ecological regions: the Pineywoods (a massive pine forest that covers most of East Texas) and the post-oak savannah (a borderland between the Pineywoods and Blackland Prarie with hilly areas, pastureland, and a mix of oak/pine/cedar forests dotting the terrain). East Texas represents the western-most border of the cultural South. When you leave East Texas and head west, you leave the South and move into the west. East Texas might have the least amount of culturral export in Texas due to our lack of major urban centers, being overshadowed by more popular Southern cultural centers, and lacking the distinct aesthetics of places like West Texas. However, oil and our proximity to Houston/DFW is making this area a lowkey great economic investment

Ok, there are definitely some issues here. For one, I don't know anyone else that refers to Houston as being in south Texas. It's in southeast Texas. The next would be when discussing west Texas. You completely left out El Paso, which is as far west as you can go in Texas and it's larger than both Lubbock and Amarillo. I will say though, as someone that was born in Dallas, grew up in east Texas, but lived in El Paso for a bit as an adult, El Paso doesn't feel like Texas to me. If you don't like big cities, prefer rural areas and small towns, enjoy forest land, lakes, and rivers, check out east/southeast Texas.

Lubbock & Amarillo are NOT in West Texas. They are in the Panhandle, which is its own distinct geographical area. The major cities in WEST Texas are San Angelo, Midland, Odessa, and Abilene. (El Paso is in a unique category of its own.) These are good-sized cities with populations of over 100,000 each--nothing like Dallas or Houston, of course, but still significant.

Well, DANG! Here in El Paso County--which includes El Paso the city--has about ¾ million people. But, since we're the only place in Texas in Mountain Time Zone, we often get overlooked like the red-headed step child. We beat San Antonio in percentage of Hispanics, have the best food in the state and are currently enjoying our 65th day over 100°! Finished growing up in Ft. Worth, but I'll take the dust/wind over humidity.

I live in Texas my whole life, Right over in Arlington for about 5 years on base, ON Base it was not so bad but in the city.. *I hated it!!!!!!! But I am by FAR not a City boy so I had to get back towards my hometown of Vernon. I have also lived in an super small town called Olney but I will be honest it was dead there, nothing happens and nothing goes on haha. Vernon is not that bad is growing but it a medium sized town of about 15k I think last time I seen the sign it was a lil over 13k. I have several family members in Lubbock, It has been about a year since I been through there. Loved the Video hope to see some more GOOD people around.

[@johnhix484]

I grew up in Sherman in the 50s and 60s and have lived in Allen for the past 25 years. Sherman has changed with manufacturing but is now getting ready to explode with high technology manufacturing, aerospace industry and education. Rapid development has started and population will soar as Dallas expands North to the Red River.

[@susanw489]

Sherman is growing quickly! We have several huge companies here, so you can get a job. We're also just about an hour north of DFW so you can go there for fun and shopping - cause there still ain't good food or shopping in Sherman.

[@rogersepeda]

Damn it , don’t mention Austin , we’re already full from a bunch of Californians as is. No offense to any Californians but thanks to the influx of Californians moving there it increased rent and made it hard for the locals to afford rent , thus increasing the homeless population and increased traffic, Houston’s traffic is even worse . After the Army my family and I will have to move elsewhere because it’s gotten so crowded. The further south Austin you go the more expensive it gets , just a heads up .

It's getting less expensive as oil markets are slower with our current administration. I was a previous Business Services Officer for the entire region from Wichita Falls down to the border. My personal opinion is try renting before just running out to buy there. Our R/E is going through turbulence, just like our economy. You will probably pick up an REO/defaulted property pretty easily in the next 12 months. It's a total boom-bust town.
