Moved to Watford City 7 years ago from Texas...during COVID, there was no other place I would want to be with my family than here. Everyone helps each other, crime is very low, no gangs, no graffiti, no homeless and kids can run around and play outside safely. Heavy traffic is three plus cars at the stop sign on Main Street. Just a wonderful place to live and raise a family.

I moved to North Dakota in 1999. And the Watford City I knew then was very different from the city you are showing now. I got the chance to document its growing pains for my own small town. For almost 2 decades I've lived in a small town in SW North Dakota and, while we've had growth, I'm glad we didn't see the massive changes that Watford City saw. You're fortunate to come to Watford City after a lot of the awful stuff is over and they've learned how to grow in a healthy way. My own town took a lot of lessons away from that in case we ever face those kinds of changes. Who knows, if we do face those changes, I might be calling you to be my realtor!

Wow it’s so much different from California . There’s so much open space, and the lots are huge. Looks like a peaceful place to retire.

Memories. I spent a lot of time there.

I wonder if gig work is decent out there i do instacart and uber right now. I'm colorado thinking about moving up there while trying to get a job in the oil industry. I have my CDL and can't find work with no experience.

Would love to move there from the UK but what are the rules - because obviously I wouldn’t have citizenship?

⁠Why don’t I see oil wells in the video?

Worked in New Town. Been to Watford City many times. I know there's a lot of oilfield and workers from all over showing up. You mentioned the children a lot. Is there a good system in place that tracks sexual convicted people?

Are there any luxury apartment complexes there that have a pool?
