I’ve lived near Fort Worth for all of my 54 years, and I can say that all of the information in this video is true. The only problem I had with the video was the tax information. One has to look at total tax burden, and Texas ranks around 25th when comparing the tax burden among all 50 states. On the positive side, the food in Texas is amazingly delicious!

I was born and raised in Johannesburg South Africa. Met a Texas gal on the west coast, Seattle. We now live in a small rural town in East Texas, 2600 peeps to be closer to her aging mother. Love it here. Quiet. One traffic light. Polite folks. No city drama. Yes it gets hot. But not as hot as home invasions and carjackings on the regular like Joburg

I'm a chinese student who immigrated to the US. Lived in 6 states for school and work, and I have to say Texas is my favorite which is why I chose to finally move permanently to it. The 6 months of summer is crazy hot, but since everyone in the US has AC, it's not really an issue, and you do get a comfortable winter as a result. Totally disagree with taxes. Yes, the property tax is high, but it's offset by just how cheap housing is in Texas. Cheap house = low property taxes. 2% of $300K is less than 1% of $1 million, see how math works? Plus no state income tax, it's extremely low tax. My wife and I did our undergraduate in Texas, even though we went to graduate school else where, we love it so much, we immigrated, moved to Texas, bought 2 houses, have 3 children. Life is beautiful.

So basically DONT MOVE TO HOUSTON. Which most Texans would tell you

[dancox]

It's not the heat. It's the humidity. Breathing in the air is like simulated drowning.

[WhitneySmith-eydl]

Love that Texas power grid structure. Almost like Enron never left.

[HollyWood-dofn]

I was born and raised in Texas. It has a lot of history and a lot to do. There is a lot of pros and cons as with everywhere else.

Moved to Fort Worth from Wyoming/Montana for grad school and now stayed for work. The loss of access to green space, national parks, and public land is probably the hardest part for me. Albuquerque is a literal desert and has more green space and public parks than Fort Worth does. Traffic here is dangerous, walking and biking aren't all that safe, air conditioning is a necessity for 4-5 months of the year. I love brisket, but the endless concrete sprawl and summers aren't worth just not having an income tax. But alas. Married a Texan so here I remain.

[MyTexasLife]

I live in the panhandle almost to the corner of NM & OK, the humidity is lower, the doctors are good, it’s in the 60s at night. I can sit on my patio for hours without breaking a sweat. The housing is overinflated but it’s the best slice of Texas to me.

[dmdeester]

I've lived in the DFW area all my life; I can't take these summers here anymore and it's getting way to overcrowded here in DFW. People look at me like I'm crazy when I tell them that I'd rather live in the upper Midwest, but I don't care, that's truly where I want to be, and not in Texas anymore.

[pamelagoodson]

Thanks for this video. Hopefully it will keep a lot of people from moving here 😊

[gphilipc]

I always say "Don't Get Sick" like Hospital Sick. They WILL break you.

I love The Lone Star State. Lived in Dallas for 3 years. The biggest drawback for me was the high humidity and heat. Absolutely brutal. Those AC bills are obscene. Also Dallas has a hideous system of toll roads everywhere you go. Just another monthly bill.

[wheel-e-umm]

2 things every Texan can pretty much much agree on is, the heat can get brutal, and that the property taxes can suck. Most of the other thing’s listed are dependent on where you are in the state. A lot of people fail to realize that ATX, SA, and Dallas are just as or more hot/humid than Houston. The worst of the Summer heat is typically between July-September. The rest of the year the weather is pretty nice.

[endlessadventure]

I was in Houston at a convention several decades ago with my firm. it was summer. I couldn't go outside for more than two minutes at a time without needing to shower. I've never felt such discomfort in my life.

[porainessemundao]

Texas, Oregon and Hawaii are my favourite states on USA. I am Brazilian

[jessherbst]

In Texas you register to vote without declaring any party. The only time you pick a party is voting in a primary, and you can vote one way in one primary, then another in the next primary. No ‘registered’ party is used.

[xirasronin]

Native Texan here, Thanks for your honesty But there are many things you missed. The number of toll roads And the fact that you've really cannot get anywhere without taking a toll road, the air quality: we have had an air quality alert for at least the last three weeks straight. smog. DFW, Houston, Austin San Antonio All of the major metropolitan areas have horrible air quality. I live an hour north of the DFW Airport and even here the sky is really not blue like it used to be. a faint gray haze has really overtaken it.
All of this is in saying please don't just look at the price of the houses, try to take in all of the possible bullshit and troubles as well.

[katkilr]

I grew up in DFW area of Texas.
I love Texas, they are a lot of good people there.

[IzzyDon]

I love Texas, having a blast everyday
