I moved from NYC to Dallas/Ft Worth with my job 43 years ago, and for 43 years I suffered from this heat here. It is brutal. I'm an outside person and trying to bike/walk/garden in this heat, for me, is almost impossible. This year 2023, is the hottest summer ever. First it was record heat/humidity, then the humidity left and now, not a drop of rain for weeks and bone dry outside where the soil is cracking open. If you can stand the heat, it's a nice place to live. I am planning on moving back home because I miss the 4 seasons and the ocean. I'm not moving back to the city but probably somewhere in Connecticut. I don't think I can make it through one more summer here, not after this year.

Yeah, go out north of Frisco and drive the 380 between Greenville and Denton -- its become the "new big expensive suburban destination" boundary to the north. (Frisco was the one before it, took about 20 years to built out Frisco all the way to 380 and west to Little Elm) That whole stretch is already overbuilt with hospitals, shopping areas, and every chain you every heard of (and a lot you haven't) well represented in the strip centers. That is how far you go out for a brand new big house on a decent size lot now. Because nobody seems to want to buy a "used" house in the 'burbs. And of course Briggs didn't mention the OTHER reason a lot of people move out and THOSE specific towns are so popular. White Flight. Dallas city is majority Black/Hispanic. The ones with a lot of money buy into the Park Cities. There was a HUGE construction surge downtown in apartments for the last 10 years that drove that increase - -but now most of its built and its becoming tight if you don't want to live in an apartment. What happens is the college kids live in the urban core apartments.. until they buy a BRAND NEW house way out in the burbs. They love living in Dallas until their kids are near school age.. then its off to the burbs where they have new fancy schools. So its still a form of White (or really WEALTH) Flight.

A warning about moving a little too far from where you work in the city and have to commute in. There was a community built 2.5 hours north of Los Angeles in the Mojave desert. Developers made sure it had everything, was well planned and beautiful, and was cheap to buy in. They hoped LA workers who were sick of LA's problems would flock to the development, lured by low prices and higher quality of life. They were right and the community filled. Within 2 years, it was a ghost town. The daily total of 5 hours commuting resulted in no time to do anything at home except eat and sleep. People were stressed out to the max and began fighting and drinking. Divorces skyrocketed and families broke up. Be careful what you wish for.

Rent is getting expensive literally everywhere. Our financial institutions have artificially inflated the cost of real estate to drive up both rent and home prices. The goal is to leave more and more people unable to save or have any hope of upward mobility. Property values increase, thereby increasing property taxes they can charge that have to come out of the owner or landlords' incomes that don't increase at the same rate as the property value. They want people spending every last dollar on things the government or investment firms own, slowly forcing people to sell what little they still own so they aren't able save, build wealth, or help their children build wealth. They are eradicating the middle class and private ownership. It's modern feudalism, and we just allow it.
@ub210

@@haroldfarquad6886 Financial institutions have nothing to do with inflating the cost of real estate. It's simply supply and demand. We have a lot of well-paying high-tech jobs in the area now and a lot of people moving in, with very few homes being built under $400K. This is causing the older housing stock to appreciate significantly. Not to mention the rehabbers "adding value" to the old stock and almost getting new build prices of close to $300/sqft. Inflation has also not helped as the money supply that has been pumped into the economy, with lower interest rates, has been funneled into real estate investments. If you bought rental property at the rate of 1 per year since 2008, you'll be ready to retire soon.

As Dallas congestion spread to surrounding areas, escaping it involved driving farther and farther. And until recently municipal services like water and phone were somewhat spotty in some outlying communities. My plotting to live away from congestion soon revealed that my better choice was to find a quiet street in Dallas itself. Doing so has minimized driving and keeps me close to necessary services. As I age, this becomes more significant. But my neighborhood now boasts million-dollar properties that in 1980 went for seventy thousand.

Lol I was just IN that area looking at my second investment property and the people are going to places like Melissa, Anna, McKinney, Prosper, Frisco etc. Giant new construction homes but I don't think the lifestyle is for me. I need camping, woods and lakes🌲🌲. The Asian food in Frisco/Plano was legit though.

That’s the main thing Dallas is missing. Nature. Plenty of lakes around the metroplex but the water is so murky can barely see your hand a few inches below. Gotta go up to Oklahoma or Arkansas to find good water and plenty of camping.

The extreme summer heat is no laughing matter in Dallas! I enjoy the outdoors but the sweltering summer heat here is unbearable and will deter you from wanting to do anything outside. I align the temps of Texas to those of Arizona and Nevada but those states have sturdy power grids and commercial sized home AC units more tolerant to the extreme heat.

If you speed in Flower Mound there are one of two things that will happen. One if your from flower mound and are caught speeding you'll get a warning and let off. If your not from flower mound and get pulled over get ready for the fattest ticket possible because you darred to go 5 mph over on a side road. Atleast that's how it used to be I'm pretty sure it's better now but still don't speed until you've actually bought the house.

There seems to be major hate towards vibrant cities and their diversity lately, I don’t know why. Every city has its problems but some are better than others. Political leaning is not what makes a place good or bad. The Electoral College and media has driven people against one another and corrupted many Best and Worst places lists based on belief/propaganda rather than fact. It would be silly to rank all vibrant and diverse places next to San Francisco and Detroit. For example, do Madison or Raleigh have higher crime rates than Springfield Missouri or Knoxville Tennessee all because they’re “more liberal?” Think about it…

Just about any restaurant or shopping you can think of, as well as sports franchises. Miss the awesome TexMex food and BBQ.

Dallas is overwhelmingly racial with each category of people having very little intermixing, the drug use is rampant, black people treating other races or other Texans like with outright disregard, no significant Arts community, everything heavy on the stodgy old idea of "philanthropy" to old causes yet homeless are now overrunning both downtown and the transit hubs of the 'burbs.

I like the fact that you mention the weather, the traffic, the community and especially the work-life balance. You really nailed those points. I don’t like how you don’t mention the homogeny of the city. Not the best type of people in the US (funny how they complain about New York). Also, if you’re not into Engineering, Finance, or Real State, there are almost no good paying jobs. Also, I don’t like is how disoriented from reality your house prices are. It’s misleading to advertise the homes for $250,000 without including the realtor pay, closing costs, and high property taxes. Also, let me know if you find a home in Frisco for under 450K.
