It's a vanilla suburban wasteland filled with even worse people.

Wut?


Temps are not that vastly different than Louisiana, less humid and maybe "snow" a little more often.

Sky high cost of living?

Sad that all those people couldn’t get a job in Louisiana and had to move to Texas

I’m sure some of them could get some work experience and move back but the Mexicans stole the wheels off their cars :(

No question that DFW is thriving right now but that’s a little misleading because of companies headquartered there. Dfw gets credit for the job growth because the “local” company hired for the positions, and maybe even trained the new employees locally, but the actual positions will be taken elsewhere.

I'm sure all the Texas cities listed in that article have a higher job growth than BR and New Orleans. Good job Louisiana. At least we know how to throw a party and cook gumbo and jambalaya.



That one city has some old buildings and you can drink outside, so cultured

What extreme weather are you referring to?

Dallas has it’s fair of strip malls etc. but there are great restraraunts here. Any city this size will have a decent food scene. Cost of living going is nothing compared to NYC or SF yet

Not misleading at all... DFW had 3-4 cities in top 10 for population growth for the entire country.

You are so beyond wrong on every point. I'll give you the chains and strip malls if you mean the suburbs, but that's literally the purpose of suburbs. That's how they look anywhere. Take a drive down veterans in Metairie and tell me it's no different.

quote:

My brother has lived there for 13+ years. You'd be sick to know what he paid for his ranch style 3 BR home in Greenville. I think it's like 1400 sq ft. 



You mean on Greenville? It was probably $400-500k right? That's equal or lower than most cities of similar size.

quote:

It's rising a lot. Great jobs but that's it. You have stuff to do, it's not a horrible town. It's just suffocating to me personally.


You sound really fun at parties.

This. After the huge growth, the liberals, democrats, illegals, and urban blight will step in and demoralize a once great city. Growth isn't always a good thing.

Yeah but that’s because they’ve made it impossible for even the wealthy to live comfortably due to their complete and utter stupidity on their taxes.

Three major corporations still in transition phase of relocating to the area, so that accounts for a significant part of that. Still growth I know, a lot of it taxpayer subsidized as well.

And how he thought cheap houses were expensive.

You can get 1400 for under $200k probably.
