Property taxes are insane in Texas.

[@VIPRealty]

Yes they are!

[@thewordologistchannel4574]

I can deal with the property tax. It's the aggressive drivers out there that concern me😅😅😅😅

[@VIPRealty]

@@thewordologistchannel4574 Add me to your list of aggressive drivers. ( only if you're driving slow in the passing lane )

[@TheOtherJennyLee]

yes, but have you seen the property taxes AND state income taxes in New Jersey? If you don't live in NJ, you are winning in life.

[@brucegoolsby1470]

I agree with you about the California geography being beautiful, but that comes at a huge cost. However, I also agree with you about the friendliness and warmth of the people in Texas. It all depends on what people are looking for.

[@VIPRealty]

Well said!

[@colleenmonfross4283]

You speak the truth! I lived in Dallas for many years, finally decided I needed some natural beauty and better weather and came back home to California. I always said that the best thing about Dallas was great shopping, great food, and two great airports to get you the hell out of there! If you have to pick your poison, I picked natural beauty and bad government/politics over ugly landscape and terrible weather but good politics. Hard choices in life sometimes.

[@VIPRealty]

💯💯💯💯💯 tough choices

[@brianjenkins8146]

you guys have been spoiled in Texas. Traffic sucks iin most metro areas in the U.S. I live in the Washington DC area. Traffic has always sucked. To me, it's about economics. where do I get the most bang for my buck and a better overall quality of life.

Inflation rate, Property taxes, sales tax is all very high as well.

[@VIPRealty]

very true!

[@jimvalentine2814]

I love it. Only in Dallas will a parent leave an area bc the smell of pot is in the air not wanting his son to be influenced then take him to dinner where he can get a cocktail. Yep, that's Big D on the Trinity.

[@VIPRealty]

I defiantly enjoy a margarita. Pot and other items I don't mess with it nor enjoy being around it.

[@robboberts6899]

Correlation can be made with landscape, but unless you want to go for a walk, there's nothing to do that doesn't cost money. Property tax is high, but come on, there's no state income tax. Buy a cheaper house, pay less tax.

[@VIPRealty]

Texas is definitely MUCH cheaper. No doubt. That's why I live in Texas and visit California :)

[@VIPRealty]

Dallas continues to grow. There’s a ton of construction 🏗️ which could be good or bad depending on how you view it.

[@rebeccagrey606]

I was born and raised in Southern California. I disagree with you. While I do miss the beach & mountains. The traffic SUCKED!!! it took me 2 hours each way to get to work when my job was just 30 miles away in CA. Also my rent for a 4 bedroom pool home in CA was $5000/mo vs $2800/mo in Dallas for a much larger gorgeous home! My job was better too and included a lot of travel all over the world. The schools are better in Texas also. I think it depends on your job and where you live. I live in a suburb of Dallas near a gorgeous lakefront home. I wouldn't want to go back to CA if you paid me!

[@VIPRealty]

There’s no question California is much more expensive. However I’m referring to the landscape and weather. There’s no comparison

[@tiz444]

Stay away from the Devil’s Triangle. I’m talking about the interstates connecting Dallas, Houston and San Antonio, with Austin throw in there. The commerce traffic just gets worse by the minute, and creates all kinds of traffic jams. Virtually 24/7. Three major Interstate highways meet in downtown Dallas. I-35, I-30, and I-45. And I-20 is just a few miles south of downtown. All of the traffic and congestion is making Dallas into a 3rd world big city. Virtually no nature to enjoy because everything is being covered by concrete and buildings. The highway system was never built to handle the traffic that exists today in Dallas. And I would bet it’s not much better in the other cities in the Devil’s Triangle. 😱😫

[@VIPRealty]

I agree 💯💯💯💯💯%

[@user-oj8ss4zq3x]

To be fair the most complain for CA is high cost living for TX high property tax for weather I have to give to CA lower cost living I have to give to TX CA Yes I agree CA has more tech job than TX on job market I am from Seattle WA I saw a lot people move in to Seattle from TX and CA as well I has co=worker from CA and TX as well thier both complain different thing friends from TX said even you pay off your house but they still paying at least over 10K every year forever and friends from CA complain about high cost living so in my opinion in the future I’ll move back to CA reason why because weather for me I agree CA is the best weather I don’t know any City or state better than CA in US Yes it’s high cost living in CA but depending on what area you are talking about if you talking about LA and San Francisco yest but other the than that not that bad what I knew

[@MJ-ef9bn]

It’s a lot of trades off (cali, Texas, florida etc) cali got the beauty but crime, more extreme weather and cost of living is higher. Same with Florida as examples. Nowhere perfect

[@VIPRealty]

Agreed. I has hoping to win the billion dollar lotto so I could acquire homes in several locations:)

[@RR64434]

The crime in California is no different than it is here so stop it. Texas has more extreme weather but yes the Real Estate in CA is outrageous, but the weather is perfect. No where in TX can you say that about. Born and raised in Texas, and moved back 9 years ago after 16 years in CA. IMO there is no comparison of the natural beauty of CA.

Dallas needs a push up bra. They taking too long to bring casinos to GrandPrairie or Irving. We need an aesthetic up-grade in family freindy casino resorts.
