For example, why sink $350,000+ in a 1,100 square foot 2bd/2bath townhouse to live in Austin when for the same amount you can buy a 3,000 square foot 4bd/3bath house in Ft. Worth? While not as much as Austin, Ft. Worth offers many bars, restaurants, concerts, and festivals as well.


Because Fort Worth blows?

Wut?

Most people attracted to the big cities do so for the 'night life'. If youre still doing that when youre 30, then the next group of 18-22 years olds start looking at you like youre Will Ferrell in Old School. If youre a woman, they just look at you like youre a piece of meat

They may not say it to your face, but theyre saying it to each other

That's when its time to find a chick that you consider your best friend to make a life with, have kids, and move to an area that offers a safe, clean environment to raise them in.

I don't know about the younger generation looking at you like a perv. But there does come a time when it becomes a bit sad seeing some older guy or woman out still acting like they're in their early 20's. We all have to grow up sometime.

If you want to live in subdivision somewhere and send your kids to mediocre schools, that's your business. I'd rather live in a city and send mine to a school like Jesuit.

Growing up, this was Superior in Shreveport on a Saturday night. 40+ year old chicks dressing like sluts to get attention their husbands wouldn't give them.

Up in the Dallas suburbs, you'll see it all over. Shops at legacy are notorious for slutty milfs everywhere. Definitely not exclusive to the city.

I live in an upper scale subdivision of a small town and my kids go to one of the top five academic and athletic schools in the state.

There's good schools in big cities, there's bad schools in big cities. Likewise there's good and bad schools in suburbs and small towns.

Again, you should stop taking such a simplistic view of the world. You're missing out on a whole lot. You've got a very msistaken and twisted view of the world around you that actually limits your world. I guess with age and the wisdom that comes with it you'll eventually see what I'm talking about.

i don't know what the Gump equivalent might be, but people on here will talk about how great Livingston or St Tammany public schools are... but they are very mediocre.

they simply do not offer the same things as the private and charter schools in New Orleans and Baton Rouge. they say "you are who you hang out with." well, i would rather my offspring hang around catholic high kids than denham high kids.

There are lots of middle class in kids in Louisiana who have no intentions of going to college or leaving whatever town they're from. I agree, though I'd say there's still a large portion that go to college and for sure the schools are not Angola minor leagues.

Guess that would be expected as they age a little and become more established. Nobody wants to raise kids in an area that is undergoing gentrification. They'll probably all become more conservative next in another shocking development.
