Escaping Chicago - moving to Dallas
Posted on 1/15/20 at 10:21 am

The day is finally here - the latest round of tax increases has pushed us over the edge. It is simply unfeasible to live in Chicago/Illinois any longer. Luckily, I secured a transfer to our Dallas, TX office.
I know nothing about DFW and have only been to Texas a handful of times. Any tips from area residents would be extremely helpful. Family of 4, office is in the crescent area (downtown?).

Seems like you would've done research on the place you were moving to before making a life altering change.

Bruh, he is coming from Chicago. I think he will find the transition quite pleasant.

Been in Dallas for 2 years, Texas for 16 total. Nothing like it. Dallas is amazing.

North Dallas area is fully developed with nice neighborhoods and good public schools.
If you want land, look to the suburbs south of Dallas.
Both areas are nice and commute into downtown will be about the same, just depends on if you want some land or a true neighborhood/suburb feel.

I did:
- No state income taxes
- No corrupt "assessments" aka shakedowns
- Significantly lower tax burden
- No $100+ billion pension liability
- No extreme liberal politics
- It's not freezing cold 8 months out of the year
- Closer to family & friends
- Better career prospects
- Friendly business environment

What is the furthest from downtown I should look? I've heard that the traffic coming from the northern suburbs is insane.

You get the most for your money in North Dallas, if you can handle the commute.
Any city in Collin County is great(I recommend Allen, Frisco, McKinney, and Prosper), with A+ public schools.

Leave your warm clothing in Chicago

So you traded freezing your arse off in the winter to sweating your arse off in the summer.

Richardson is a happy medium, get less for your money but schools are decent.

well for the most part but i understand austin is like a small version of california and making all those rule changes liberals love to make to turn it into a liberal shite hole
so be warned, there are pockets of insanity in texas where many california rejects have moved to and started ruining

It is. I work downtown and have a co-worker who commutes in from Plano (roughly 20-25 miles) and it routinely takes an hour. Garland and Richardson aren't quite as bad.

You’re bout to go from looking at ugly arse midwestern women all day to some gooood shite. Your wife will be suspicious when you offer to go do the grocery shopping.
