WILL I STAY IN DALLAS?

[@Built4Anything]

Hey guys it’s been a great 2 yrs for me since moving here. It was not without a few setbacks. I created a guide to help you do the same and overcome similar situations. Thanks for watching! Spoiler alert: I’m still here!

[@essenceofshay]

Built4Anything I just moved from Brooklyn 2 months ago...I appreciate this video

[@DoubleStar92]

Built4Anything alright!! GO COWBOYS!! Lol

[@jjbb7010]

I love seeing people especially brothers making positive decisions, I know I made the right decisions my tech startup is in development just need to figure out when to start.

[@mcnits]

Dude you always do a great job! And Dallas makes you look prosperous ! Kinbe la fre mwen

[@Built4Anything]

Thank you for that! Appreciate you! 👊🏾

[@deniceworks6328]

As a true Dallas native, when it comes to traffic you gotta learn how to maneuver around the back ways. Never take 635 or 75 Central Expressway during peak hours. Back roads are the best way.

[@TheDrewflow1]

almost came there for a job a few years ago , last minute change sent me to houston. H town was cool though. i came back to NY recently but no matter how hard i try i cant come to love it again. Im looking forward to getting down to dallas which was suppose to be our first choice from the beginning.

[@dannyhoughton9704]

Good luck bro

[@maxpainmedia]

Whats good b,, im from the Bronx, im 32,, im dying to leave the hood bro, i feel like im uncomfortable and ive outgrown NYC, i want a clean peaceful environment,, thing is i have a 3 year old son here, me and his mom aint together but i feel like i have to go man,, im goin crazy in this dirty ass city

[@Built4Anything]

A man got to do what a man got to do! There’s life outside the big Apple! Explore other places and see what fits! Thanks for watching!

[@DJDavis844]

Bro i'm out of NY at the end of thus October. I know EXACTLY what you're speaking of. I was in the Navy. Seeing the world has me in a mindset where coming back to where i was born is like taking a step back. Also the mindset i have now is light-years different from where i was when i left. People look at me like i'm the stranger in the BX or BK. Seems like you have your heart set on new things boss and that might be a sign that you need to move to the next step in your life.

[@TheDrewflow1]

i know the feeling brother, i grew up in NY my whole life and recently came back for a job opportunity but im ready to leave again after only a few months of being back,

[@cece_locd]

I feel the same - I've outgrown this place and feel like I'm going to lose my mind if stay here!

[@dannyhoughton9704]

[@feliciaturner5642]

Hey, your videos have helped me a lot I recently moved to Dallas from Chicago and it has been hard adjusting here because it’s a lot different than back home but I am going to continue keeping an open mind while I’m here and make the best of it

[@rkingfarmer]

What's your thoughts on diversity in Dallas? and living compared to Chicago

[@feliciaturner5642]

King Gon my thoughts is that Chicago is more diverse than Dallas overall. The cost of living in Chicago is more expensive than Dallas. Chicago is a urban city so everything is everywhere you don’t have to go far for what you need unless you choose too. Unfortunately, Dallas is not like that. The food is awesome in Chicago as well. Despite what people say Chicago is actually a beautiful city and the media over exaggerates crime that takes place there. Being in Dallas makes me appreciate public transportation in Chicago and the availability to go anywhere you want to go. The downside of Chicago is that there is a lot of taxes that you pay. And you literally pay for any and everything. For example, You could ask for a cup of water and get charged for that in Dallas It’s free from my experience. The pay rate in chicago is relatively higher than Dallas, but it really depends on your career field. But Dallas has a lot more opportunity and jobs. And I must add that you also get more for your money as well.

[@rkingfarmer]

@@feliciaturner5642 great comparison! Sounds like Chicago is a pretty chill place. Have you ever visited or thought about visiting Houston? I hear it's pretty cool as well.

[@feliciaturner5642]

King Gon Yes, I really like Houston. I think I like Houston more than Dallas. I’m actually trying to figure out if I want to move there or stay in Dallas. Houston has more culture than Dallas in my opinion. They also have so many great restaurants there it kind of remind me of a smaller Chicago just in the south lol. Also, they have a larger medical district and I’m in healthcare so it’s actually even more opportunity there I have noticed than Dallas. Do you like Houston?

[@rkingfarmer]

@@feliciaturner5642 I keep hearing the rest restraunts are amazing and the culture is much better in Houston. I havent been to Houston but visited dallas for a week. It was pretty cool place! I live in Alabama and it sucks lol. I want to live in either Houston or Dallas but can't decide.

[@gismorales]

I came across your video because I am considering moving from Dallas (Frisco), TX. Please keep the videos coming and thank you for sharing your story :)

[@NaturalBrownBeauties]

Thank you for making your videos! Very inspiring! Im born and raised in Brooklyn and your videos definitely helped me to make the decision to move to Houston. I've been here for 3 months and very happy. I still have to get acclimated and know it will take time but I'm ready to do big things. I also do video production as well! Maybe a collabo in the future. Coming out with a new KZbin channel next year. Stay tuned! #Bless #Brooklyn

[@Built4Anything]

NaturalBrownBeauties that’s dope! Welcome to Texas! It takes time to get settled. You’ll be fine. Thanks for watching!

[@jessezimmerman242]

[@niecys]

Hello, I'm thinking about relocating to Dallas. My major concern is the weather; floods, hurricanes etc. Have you encountered these issues and are only certain areas affected in Dallas?

[@Bingo_Betty]

Another great video, I'm trying to work out which texas city to move to. I also wanted to say I don't really like the background music, I little too loud and distracting.

[@Built4Anything]

Thanks for the feedback. I’ll make the necessary adjustments going forward. Thanks for watching!

[@Honeypepper.]

Yessss I love it! just speak!

[@Built4Anything]

I will! Thanks for watching!

[@msjwilliams3130]

Texas Baby yes indeed We do it Big

[@CeeCee-j9w]

Love your videos!! Is there a vibrant Haitian community in Dallas?

[@Built4Anything]

No. Coming from NYC it’s not really a big demographic here. Thanks for watching.

[@marcusbriones7597]

No haitan but there is a little Ethiopia here

[@Antonio-gr9pt]

How’s the black community in Dallas? From the East Coast where there’s a lot of blacks (DMV). I can only look at the numbers online but I have no idea on how it is

[@Built4Anything]

There’s definitely a community here. The people are cool. I can’t say everyone but for the most part the community is solid. Thanks for watching!

[@walktown1983]

What’s up bro. I stay in the the bay area, but I’m seriously thinking of moving to Texas. I am still trying to decide between San Antonio or Dallas. Any suggestions? Anybody?

[@marcusbriones7597]

Dallas....San Antonio is more layed back and years behind the other Texas cities. And It's smaller in size and population. But DFW is your go

[@sasouns]

I live in LA and traffic won't be a problem for me lol

[@gabriellopez966]

Hey what's going on man! Love your blog, I plan on moving to Dallas in the coming months. I was wondering what neighborhoods would you consider friendly. I'm big into concerts and noticed a lot of the acts go to deep ellum and the uptown areas. Which areas would you say to definitely stay away from? Thanks!

[@debrawilliams2781]

What will happen if air conditioning fails on a large scale in one section for at least 1 day with that heat?

[@Sasan_Guitar]

Seen any tornadoes? What's the safest part of Dallas IYO? Best car to commute to work with? Thanks for the tips

[@Built4Anything]

Haven’t seen any tornados, safe is uptown or downtown. Bad things can happen anywhere. Best car is any car with a working a/c. Lol. Thanks for watching.

[@DJDavis844]

Yo bro if you talking about traffic out there is crazy. That must mean NY traffic is better. Lol Either way my question is what kind of attire is needed in Dallas in the winter? The thickest jacket i have is a peacoat.

[@catdaddy1822]

some thermals you good.

[@mhaluuun93]

Love your videos, brother! What do you like more about Dallas than in the big apple? You've never really compared Dallas to NYC.

[@dmario.jackson]

I am from New Orleans. I been in Houston for nearly two years, never visited or have family or know anyone. Gotten tired of the city if New Orleans after the politics of Katrina. I am used to living in a more black community even though I am not black.

[@dmario.jackson]

Just not sure if I want to settle here in Houston

[@Kbsantangelo]

Im from Detroit, and I'm trying to relocate to anywhere in Texas (Dallas included). Problem is my skillset is tied to the automotive industry (automotive safety testing) are the any related industries down there? (Maybe aviation crash test safety, millitary?) Etc. ? Because I really want out of here

[@asmrlazo8359]

John Lazo not really I’m a huge cowboys fan born, raised & living in Dallas & true fans will always say that that although we hate those other 3 divisional rivals the true team we despise is the 49ers a lot of bad blood there.
