Thanks guys! Tornadoes, severe thunderstorms, high crime and extreme heat/humidity are a deal breaker for me. I appreciate the heads-up.

[@livinginfortworth]

Thanks for watching

[@janicec1948]

Where you getting your info from been here 7yrs in and out since 2010-2012...and had one hot summer..thunder storms all all over mid United States....Tornadoes are really in the northern state..we get some but still north from where I live..and Crime🤔...again where is this crime in the hood ..yeah that's everywhere..! Don't go live in the hood no matter where you live..I'm from Los Angeles🤔🫡

[@masterprophet8378]

They just told you in the video @ 14:10 that Fort Worth gets tornadoes. Are you even paying attention to what they said, janice1948? You just defeated your own argument by saying you have lived there "in and out" but not consistently. "Out of thine own mouth will I judge thee" (Luke 16:22). Then you contradict yourself by saying "Don't go live in the hood no matter where you live" but also said that crime is "everywhere." * boink * Proof that you're fussing just for the sake of fussing, making no kind of sense. That's L.A. folk for you, though. lol smh And there are more than enough KZbin videos showing tornadoes touching down in the Fort Worth area. You're being defensive out of emotion, not out of facts - and you're not even under attack. More atypical L.A. behavior. I patiently await your venomous response. Oh, and I'm from New York City.

I currently live in New York but I lived in Georgia for about 20 years and the one thing I miss is the southern hospitality. I'm looking forward to finding a town that exemplifies southern hospitality, spaciousness, and culture.

[@livinginfortworth]

Yes! Nothing like Southern Hospitality 😀

[@davidcarrasco89]

I do love dfw! Biggest con for me is PROPERTY TAXES. If you buy a home here, get ready to pay ridiculous property taxes. Yes, we don't have state income taxes. I have lived in other states and our taxes are one of the worse in the country

[@livinginfortworth]

A lot of people would agree with you David!

[@dominick5886]

Just don’t buy a big home 😂 try living in cali all the expenses here blow your little property taxes out the water

[@nancywilson346]

I don't need to own a car in Fort Worth,Texas at all! There are city buses in Fort Worth,Texas. Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes!

Hello ❤Can you cover Azle-Springtown pro cons outside Fort Worth? We see 2 acre lots with beautiful farmhouses out there for good prices? Thank you 🙏 DS in Seattle

[@livinginfortworth]

Absolutely! We’ve help clients in those areas that wanted acreage

[@DavidMosby]

Great video you guys! Blame the TXLEG for the tolls and property taxes. The humidity is not bad. I could not live in Houston. Crime depends on where in the city you live. Find a good charter school.

[@livinginfortworth]

thanks for sharing

[@WackyWitchTV]

This was one year ago and I wonder if it’s still the same as far as cost of living and groceries! I live in Los Angeles and it’s extremely expensive! My son is finished with 11th grade in June and we’re moving to TX!

Inflation nationwide has increased cost of living a bit but we still some of the lowest for all the amenities we have. Shoot us a note here if we can help mcgrawtx.com/email
