Seems like you can’t really live in Dallas proper unless you make 200k. You need a 700k house to not live in the hood and then good private schools (10k per kid at least?) if you don’t live in HPISD. You can live in Plano or whatever but even that sucks and how the hell do you commute downtown? 45 minutes?
Seems like if you don’t get a job in fort worth you’re fricked. Somebody explain this to me cause it doesn’t make sense

DFW Metro has become one of the most expensive places to live in the south. If you're going into an office every day, I never would even consider some of the places that have been named here. Melissa, Argyle, Parker County, etc.

Tesla
Caterpillar
AT&T
Landsea Homes
CBRE
Oracle
Hewlett Packard
Apple
Amazon
Goldman Sachs
Just to name a few that have moved to Texas, these are all high paying jobs so everything has gone through the roof.
Companies are hitching their wagons to Texas due to its business-friendly environment, low taxes, minimal regulations, and a rapidly growing talent pool.

One of the few places in middle America that has loads of white collar jobs. It's really not that complex if you have a decent understanding of economics.
I moved there because I couldn't find a job in my niche in Louisiana. Not willing to work a plant job I would probably hate to stay in Louisiana. Also, the quality of living is a lot better.
