I Found The Last Piece Of The American Dream. It's In Texas.

You're kidding right? These places in Texas are REALLY the best places to live in the country now?

I spent three days driving around Dallas, Austin and Houston burbs to show you what people say is the most desirable places for people to live these days. What do you think?

The story just keeps on repeating itself: nice places get invaded, prices go up, locals get priced out, liberal politics move in, and the once nice place gets destroyed...turned into dystopia...

Anyone who has told you that Dallas, Austin, and Houston are the best places to live in Texas is out of their ever-lovin' mind!

Californians shouldn’t be allowed to move to Texas, fix your own state first

I live in one of the slums in tx, prefer it over the middle class. have 2 neighbors that throw parties and blast music in thier backyard, I show up with a 12 pack and eat a buffet and get drunk. our shared fence was falling apart so we just removed it and never replaced, my dogs and their dogs hang out. Its super ghetto but theres a method to the madness.

The quality of life in a city is determined by the quality of the character of the people who live there

I'm so sick of all these expensive cheaply built suburbs going in all over Texas. They come in, cut down every single tree and then then these small towns like the one I live in cant support this many people. It's causing massive flooding and the crime rates keep rising. Even in these stepford wives neighborhoods. They just don't like that getting out to the public to ruin their perfect little images.

It hasn't done nothing but make my homestead taxes go up massively in the last 10 yrs.

Lived in this area since 2004. Even in 2010 I remember at school people complained how soulless it was. Now it's just more expensive with unhinged drivers.

I live in Tx, and I remember when Georgetown was a nice cozy blip in the road (as was Cedar Park, Pflugerville and Georgetown) now they're overcrowded and filled with folks that ain't from Texas. Here in the SE part of the state the sprawl is much slower and I'm okay with that.

[Gadfly]

I’ve lived in Some great undiscovered towns . Soon as they get discovered they get ruined . First they start pumping up parking fees and fines. Taxes fees etc

I just love Nick. I don't know why, but his voice always makes me feel calm and his sense of humour is always great. And Mappy is amazing and has sometimes some great points. Nick should be a professional TV presenter with his own series!

[AbandonedMaine]

It hurts to look at this. Soulless cookie cutter McMansions going on endlessly, empty sidewalks, no pedestrians. It's an eerie reminder of that dystopian planet in the book Wrinkle In Time.

We can ban non-citizens from owning land and make single-family homes exclusively for people and not corporations. That would solve the unaffordability crisis.

We moved to Texas in ‘97 for work (jobs+money) from Oklahoma. First lived in Allen when it was just starting to pop. Our youngest son was born in McKinney. Have lived in The Colony, Little Elm, Flower Mound and now in Denton. North Texas is our home. Love it!

[constantobjects]

You don't want to live in Frisco, Plano, Allen or McKinney - unless you have a GOOD PAYING JOB, kids in school, and you like TO DRIVE EVERYWHERE and sit in lots of traffic. And if you don't mind a cookie-cutter McMansion with zero full grown trees on your block.

I spent three months in Dallas and Austin. That was all I needed to see to realize that I never wanted to live in Texas. Outside of a few charming small town centers and newer commercial districts, you can't walk anywhere in Texas. The only exceptions were wealthy enclaves that had no affordable homes (e.g., Lower Greenville in Dallas or South Congress in Austin). The rest of Texas was all boring car-centric sprawl. The same goes for Florida and Arizona.

Lived in DFW 55 years. Fun to watch an outsider perspective. I've witnessed this metro grow non-stop since we moved here when I was a boy. They have added some mass transit but don't try to walk anywhere (except those little spots like the downtown of McKinney). Because nobody walks here because it is HOT AF 5 months out of the year. As long as you got A/C in the house and car, no problem. 95F and 70% humidity today.... tornadoes scheduled for later on.

[troutaholic]

I don’t think so. Recently escaped Austin. Could not be happier. Texas- weather- unbearable heat six months a year, interspersed with flooding, tornadoes, hail, hurricanes, high insurance rates, homeowner association shakedowns, high property and sales taxes, high home prices, failing winter grid system, causing deaths, draught- water rationing, traffic, overcrowded, third world politics, lack of nature. 99 percent of state is private property. A few small state parks dot the state that is pretty much one big concrete strip mall. The few state parks there are become urban parking lots.

I see a lot of Texas plates in Tennessee.
I think they are coming this way to escape all the Calinflation.

Leaving the black hole of Austin and moving to law-abiding, clean, and friendly Georgetown July 1st.
