Last summer I was in Houston and there wasn't one single mosquito, they were all married with large families.

I love this video. I love how you described the flatness of Texas and Oklahoma by saying, “ you can watch your dog runaway for 2 weeks!” 🤣🤣🤣

[seanmorgan]

This is the best video I have seen because this guy is genuine, confident and just overall real. He articulates in a way that’s not trying to hard and is just simply easy to understand. I like how he offers pros and cons and speaks from a non-biased stand point. I think I will end up really loving TX...I’m sure my girls will too!

I lived in Houston from 2012-2017 and the humidity and heat were unbearable, I was sick most of the time with allergies, I now live in Northern California, and I LOVE IT.

No vacancy here! Stay away! Too many people, and people are getting grouchy 'cause of the 24/7 rush hour traffic. If you are not in the right lane or going under 65 mph on the freeways, you're dead. May 2022, 94 to 95 degrees already. In some areas, no one speaks English. There is some Big Money here, and if you don't have some of it, it's hard to find decent houses or apartments. Need gasoline? Plan on taking an hour of your time. Pull out of drive, red light 1, red light 2, get gas, the credit card thing won't give you a receipt, go inside the store, etc. Live in a beautiful subdivision? A bit calmer but $$$$, and you drive and drive, and drive to get to anywhere. Pack a lunch and dinner or like I have done if I have to go across town for a meeting, appointment, I stay in a motel rather fight 24/7 rush hour traffic where I get in the wrong lane and the 18 wheeler is on my tail and I have to drive to San Antonio to turn around and come back. You'll see. Good things: If you are wanting to taste food from countries you've never heard of, come on down. If you want a service, specialist, or to buy something and it exists, you can find it here. Be prepared to spend the day driving in 24/7 rush hour to get it. Need a doctor? There are specialists here for diseases you didn't know existed. Make an appointment, drive and drive and try and try to park, and remember where you car is; then wait 2+ hours to see doctor. Bring something to do and eat or curl up in the waiting room chair and sleep. Welcome to Texas, ya all. Sincerely, A Native. Oh BTW if you are from New Jersey or certain boroughs in New York, we love you, but ditch the accent and learn to talk like us, through you nose. You'll do a lot better.

Recently moved from TX to GA. There are many things that I love about Texas, but the 3 negatives for me were: high property taxes, increasing sprawl and traffic (DFW area), and the heat restricting how much time you can comfortably be outdoors.

I live in Puerto Rico and am seriously considering moving. What's funny to me is that all those "cons" are literally daily life here (which really isn't all that bad when you think about it, some of them even good). Only we have it worse because we're also in the line of fire for hurricanes and pay 3 times as much for electricity, yet it doesn't work properly on a regular day. Hurricane Maria left me and my family without electricity for 4 months!

I was born and raised in Houston Texas. Two years ago I moved to Tennessee..
I did not know there truly is four seasons, till I left Houston..
I don't miss the hurricane season or mosquitos.
Good video, and accurate information regarding the city and climate, the friendly folks though, not so much in the city. Yes friendly in the country or suburban ends of Houston

[ChrisShockz]

Keep in mind Texas is huge and has a lot of climates. We have several biomes across the state.

[norvaz]

I was in the Texas Hill Country recently and someone asked me what I liked better since I lived in San Antonio for 15 years and I told her I love them both equally. It's a different beauty for each area. The Hill Country is beautiful especially at the rivers. Here in Spring/The Woodlands it's so green with tall pine trees.

[HealingWithE]

I’m from Washington DC. I lived in Arkansas and Houston when Harvey hit. But love for Texas has not left so I’m moving back..

[donthai]

Great videos! Missing couple points. Houston native here. Don’t move here if you’re don’t like stuck in Houston traffic for hours. Don’t move here if you don’t drive fast enough and get honked. Houstonian drivers are crazy. Don’t move if you don’t like guns. Don’t move if you don’t like free income tax. Don’t move if you don’t like American flag. Texas is one of the most religious state, so if you don’t like that, STAY PUT!!!

I moved to an area northeast of DFW/McKinney two years ago to retire. Here are my observations:
1) If you follow the law and do the right things, Texas is going to give you a great life
2) If you do not follow rules or laws, Texas is not a place for you and will give you a horrible life
3) If you choose not to assimilate to the Texas way of life or respect it, you will be miserable here
4) If you don't know what a Homestead Exemption is, learn about it and apply for one tooth sweet
5) If you have a dog your dog will be very happy! Dog parks are everywhere in all communities
6) If you haven't visited a Bucee's yet, you are not a true Texan!
7) A majority of TX in the north is in Tornado Alley. Have a plan and be prepared for crazy weather
8) TX homes require a lot of routine maintenance (HVAC, pest control, etc...). Budget accordingly
9) Texans in general are not very vocal. But if you bring up politics on your own, expect an earful
10) TX humidity isn't that bad and only lasts roughly four months of the year. Budget your AC expense

Finally, if you are a 100% disabled veteran Texas is the best place to be and is also the best kept secret. 100% disabled veteran's receive a free DOL, free vehicle plates and are exempt form ALL TEXAS PROPERTY TAXES!

I moved to FTW Dallas area from CA and lasted 2 months lol I just couldn't get passed not seeing mountains it was weird I just felt empty and lost so I peaced out. God bless yall for real.

[marsder]

Funny how most of these "don't move to texas" reasons are mostly reasons why I wanna move there.

[enriquejackson]

I find it quite odd he's been there for a few years and he never Mentions HUMAN TRAFFICKING/ KIDNAPPING, very HIGH CRIME rate and ROAD RAGE shootings.

[stevearmstrong]

I bought my land and built my home 25 years ago here in Texas, my wife and I are too old to start over but we are being forced to do just that as we are being forced to move out of our home that we love. I have lived here all of my life, I am a native Texan. My property taxes have skyrocketed because of all of the people moving here and now I cannot afford to pay the property taxes to stay in my home that I was going to retire and live out the remainder of my life. Why should I be forced into poverty and lose my home to rich snobs moving here who are screwing up our quality of life and driving up the price of everything? The property taxes alone is making it to where our young people who do not have rich parents to foot the bill cannot afford to pay rent nor own a home of their own here in the new state of Taxes/California! We native Texans who are retired simply cannot avoid moving out of Texas because our corrupt Local Governments and Criminal Governor is getting rich off this criminal and immoral process of gentrification!

[Shinta]

Thank you for this video! I'm in Houston now visiting relatives and will be moving here permanently in 3 weeks. This made me feel alot better and alot more excited for the move. Thank you for being so down to earth and awesome!

[lisahilton]

Grew up inside the loop (in-town-urban living)in H-town, over thirty-five years plus! This once was a good place to be despite the weather and lack of scenic beauty. I understand many-many-many people are moving here. And, this is the exact reason that Houston is no longer a friendly place to be. Crime, construction, and traffic are a nightmare. I can't wait to get out of here and will sell this summer. If you like an uber big city with tons of crime, traffic, heat, and humidity then keep coming here.

[aftermarketconsulting]

Texas is huge! This is more about the Houston area rather than the state as a whole.
