re: OT thoughts on the Plano/Frisco/McKinney area in Texas?

You'll not run into any issues honestly except for the sheer density of people there now. Yes, hoods are tight lot lines and traffic is heavy but everyone around you deals with the same issue. It's a nice quality of living for upper mid class and typical of what anyone would enjoy around the area. Does it have a UP ease to high caliber eateries? No. But a date night drive south is cool if you want it to be.
