People in my current state are in a complete hysteria over COVID-19 and with how much the powers that be are demonizing those that don't take their experimental jab, I rather not be stuck surrounded by their COVID cult when shit inevitably hits the fan soon.
I have decided to move to Texas since it is a lower cost of living red state where hopefully there will be atleast some decent employers who won't mandate the jab and where hopefully most people are still relatively sane.
I am looking at suburban areas near Dallas/Fort Worth.
I am currently looking at suburbs in places like:
Keller
Azle
Watauga
Northlake
Denton
Anyone have any info about any of these areas and if they are safe and if they have sane right-leaning people?
I really don't want to be surrounded by Branch-Covidian leftists. I already know to stay clear of Austin.
I am also kinda concerned about frequency of tornadoes in these areas since based on what I researched, northern Texas seems to have a lot of tornadoes.
Any thoughts anyone can offer would be appreciated greatly.
Thanks in advance!
Denton is kinda shitty and left of center thanks to UNT being located there. And the strip mall culture that another poster said (that’s totally accurate) is worse in Denton because those were built in the 70s and 80s and need a revamp.
You will need a car, it’s Summer from June until mid-October, you will need a tolltag, prices are increasing everywhere for everything, avoid 380 like your life depends on it, I hate Californians, get a house inspection, it’s windy and we occasionally get tornadoes, a 1 hour commute each way is reasonable, BBQ is really expensive, we put jalapeños on EVERYTHING, Tex Mex is just more melted cheese and chili concarne on your plate, people may appear rich but that doesn’t mean they are, Jack in the Box is actually good here, Whataburger is overrated but cannon here, we have SMU & TCU but most people are UT or OU fans, you ask for a coke if you want a soft drink, Lonestar beer sucks but is a tradition, we have shitloads of mosquitos. That was a long run on sentence.
>a 1 hour commute each way is reasonable
no it isn't
Yes it is. Some people drive longer too. It’s crazy. Not quite California but if more Californians move here, well....
they're wrong to do so.
When you say occasionally get tornadoes, should I be really worried that a strong tornado might completely destroy my future residence and all of my belongings.
I can empathize with hating Californians since they come in and keep all of their bad voting habits while driving up prices.
With all of the COVID hysteria going on, I personally want to steer clear of places with lots of leftists.
Guess that means Denton is probably not the best place for me.
It’s “cheap” because it’s run down, but that won’t last due to the influx of Californians (whom I hate). The up & coming places are Gunter, Aubrey, Celina, & Preston if you’re looking at north Dallas.
You don't need to be really worried. It's just a small risk that's always with us. It's what insurance is for.
